Clay sculpture art is a traditional and common folk art in Dongping. It uses clay as raw material and is hand-molded into sculptures. It can be plain or colorful, mainly figures and animals. The production method is to mix a little cotton fiber into the clay, pound it evenly, and then mold it into clay blanks of various figures, dry it in the shade, apply base powder, and then paint it. Dongping clay sculpture art has been passed down for a long time. It is mostly used as a folk creation form for self-entertainment or to display some religious clay sculptures in temples. Entering the 21st century, artistic expressions have become more diverse and have gradually gained attention as an art form. Clay figurines Du is a clay sculpture art created by the father and son of the Du family in Dongping Zhoucheng. Du Guangxiao, who is over 60 years old, is from Nanmen Village, Zhoucheng Street, and is the fourth-generation inheritor of folk clay sculpture crafts. His clay sculpture art was brought by his great-grandmother from her mother's home. Du Guangxiao learned clay sculpture from his father Du Changyi since he was a child. On the basis of his predecessors, he did not stick to the old rules and dared to innovate, and the variety of clay sculptures increased. Later, under the influence of the development of Water Margin culture in Dongping County, Du Guangxiao came up with the idea of clay sculpture of Liangshan heroes. It took more than a year to display the heroic group portraits of 108 Liangshan heroes. The sculpted figures have different postures, both spirit and form, sitting or standing, jumping or walking, flying in the air, dancing with guns and sticks, looking up at the sky and laughing, or drunk. 108 characters with different personalities are concentrated on the clay sculptures. The works are simple and delicate, lifelike, and lifelike, reflecting the high value of folk culture and art. The clay sculptures of animals such as turtledoves are equipped with whistles made of reeds at the bottom, with a blowing hole on the head or back, and a small hole under the blowing hole. When blowing, the hole is blocked with fingers, opening and closing, adjusting the phonology, and making a melodious bird song. In 2007, it was selected for the first folk art exhibition in Tai'an City and shortlisted for the first batch of intangible cultural heritage catalogues in Dongping County.
