糖画，是一种汇聚了民间工艺美术与美食的独特手工技艺，俗称“倒糖饼儿”，广泛流传于成都平原及其周边地区，已有五百多年的历史。
Sugar painting is a unique craft that combines folk art and food, commonly known as “upside-down sugar cake”. It has been widely practiced in the Chengdu Plain and its surrounding regions for over 500 years.
这种技艺不仅吸取了皮影和剪纸的表现手法，还蕴丰富的历史、美术和地方风俗元素。艺人们使用的工具十分简单，只需要一锅、一勺、一炉和一石，然而对工艺的要求极高。从熬糖的温度、糖的色泽到绘制的时间，每一步都考验着糖画艺人的手艺。
This craft not only incorporates techniques from shadow puppetry and paper-cutting, but also reflects historical context, fine art, and local customs. The tools used by the artists are simple, including a pot, a spoon, a stove, and a stone. However, the craftsmanship required is highly refined, with every step from boiling the sugar, to its color, and the timing of drawing, testing the skill of the sugar painter.
糖画艺人需要静气凝神，以勺为笔，以糖为墨，在光洁的大理石板上挥洒糖液。待糖液冷却凝固后，用竹签轻轻蘸上，一个晶莹剔透的糖画就此完成。每一个糖画都是独一无二的，展现着艺人的匠心独运。
The sugar painter needs to focus and pour the syrup onto a polished marble slab, using the spoon as a brush and the syrup as ink. After the syrup cools and hardens, they attach a bamboo stick and lift the delicate sugar painting. Each sugar painting is unique and shows the artist’s creativity and craftsmanship.
糖画这一传统工艺，不仅是一种美食，更是一种文化的传承和展现。它的独特魅力和深厚的文化内涵，让人们在品味美食的也能感受到民间工艺的精湛和博大。
Sugar painting is not only a traditional craft but also a传承 and display of culture. Its unique charm and deep cultural connotation allow people to feel the exquisite and extensive folk craftsmanship while tasting the food.
