Yungang Silk Figurines

People usually buy cloth dolls for their children at the temple fairs in Datong for good luck and to avoid disasters and illnesses.

This custom originated in the Ming and Qing dynasties, where the cloth doll was the precursor of silk figurines.

After China’s liberation, the cloth doll became more exquisite. Many girls and married women spent a lot of time and effort sewing nice dolls to show their ingenuity.

Kang Qiaoling is the most renowned silk figurine artist. Her works are varied. She specializes in Chinese opera facial makeup, Buddha statues and soaring fairies. Silk, satin, yarn and brocade are her preferred materials. .

Kang has been devoting herself to the art since 1983. Relying on the attainments in Chinese folk songs, operas, block print, Buddhism and architecture, her works boast human-like images and spirit.

Large silk figurines have featured at many lantern shows across the country including One World and Light of the Coal Sea.
