With a history of more than 1,500 years, the horse ladle facial make-ups are a folk art form mainly prevailing in the Central Shaanxi Plain. The horse ladle facial make-ups are not only used in the Shehuo celebrations, but also regarded as refined handicrafts favored by collectors.
Just as the name suggests, horse ladles are used to feed horses in these areas. The round ladles are used to hold water, while the rectangular ones are to hold grain. The patterns painted on the ladles are ways of praying for the livestock's safety and health, thus ensuring people a happy and harmonious life. People in the past used to hang the painted ladles in their houses to drive away the evil spirits, and to avoid sterility and other accidents. The tradition and influence left over from the Shang and Zhou dynasties (About 1600-221BC) can still be perceived from these painted ladles.
Shehuo, horse ladles and facial make-ups are three different folk art forms naturally developed through history. The horse ladle facial make-ups used in Shehuo is a precious art form, demonstrating the unique artistic glamour of West China.
Shehuo, originally a ceremony to honor gods and spirits from heaven and earth, gradually developed to a festive occasion to celebrate and pray for harvest in its long evolutionary process.
Horse ladles are everyday outfits in West China inherited early from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Fine wood from phoenix tree, Chinese toon or peach tree is usually chosen as the raw material, from which horse ladles are delicately carved. These han***de daily appliances can still be found in some areas of West China.
The facial make-ups originated from the tattoo tradition of the ancient people. The tradition developed into face painting during the Xia and Shang dynasties.
