原来，“画饼”还真能“充饥”
你见过可以吃的“画”吗？
来了，
这是中国传统民间手工艺
——糖画。
以勺为笔，以糖为墨
流淌间便可勾画世间万物。
相传，
唐代大诗人陈子昂很爱吃黄糖，
不过他的吃法与众不同。
他将糖熔化在清洁光滑的桌面上，
铸成各种小动物图案，
等糖液凝固后便拿在手上，
一边赏玩一边品尝。
后来，
陈子昂到京城长安游学求官，
也把这种吃法带到了京城，
从此糖画这门手艺代代相传。
到了清代，
糖画更加流行，
制作技艺日趋精妙，
形态多为花鸟鱼虫、
福禄寿喜、十二生肖等，
都是大众喜闻乐见的吉祥图案。
糖画是一门集合了
美食、文化和手工制作的艺术，
既可观赏，又可食用，
作画师傅通常无需底稿，
一气呵成。
如今的糖画
出现了更多的创新形式，
卡通糖画、立体糖画，
为传统糖画带来了新的生机。
中国之文化，糖画之精神，
在一代代匠人的糖勺之间
慢慢流传。
