Toys for Practical Use

实用的玩具

Besides being for play, folk toys can also be of practical use, as part of finery, bedding and foodstuff¹. Children love animal-shaped pillows or hats. Today, the mascot² of Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing is the lovely panda hat to numerous zealots. For the foodstuff, flour's plasticity helps people's imagination come true. In Shanxi Province, people are still experts at steaming flour figures. Suppose how pleasant they will be when seeing vivid edible³ flour rabbits and pigs!

除了是玩耍，民间玩具也是实用的，可以作为服饰，床上用品和食品的一部分。孩子们喜欢动物形的枕头或帽子。今天，在北京举行的2008年奥运会的吉祥物的可爱的熊猫帽子仍然有众多痴迷者。对于食品，面粉的可塑性有助于人们的梦想成真。在山西省，人们还很善于做面粉人。想想他们会多么的惬意当他们看到生动的食用粉兔和猪时！
