She looked for inspirations from Chinese classical legends, myths and famous books before creating the work named "dream."
In the work, a girl rests on a chair and dreams of a traditional story of a mouse wedding procession. A total of 15 rats strode in line. Some of them played the instruments of sheng, flute, suona horn and drum and some held small flags.
Dough figurine making can be traced back to the Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-220 A.D.)
People first made dough food shaped like butterflies and lotus flowers to celebrate traditional festivals. As time went on, it has become a traditional handicraft art.
Wang used dozens of crafting tools with varying functions. "Scissors are used to cut figurine's hands, sharp tools for making cloth folds and tweezers for clamping small objects."
Wang has made a name for herself. She has visited over 20 countries and regions including Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the United States and Singapore to spread Chinese traditional dough figurine art.
"It's a pursuit of beauty and goodness. Being able to learn, inherit and spread this art, I feel honored and proud," she said.
