彩塑制作可追溯到新石器时代的红山文化，魏晋时期的造像艺术推动了彩塑的发展。唐宋以后，彩塑逐渐分离出宗教造像、民间玩具和案头陈设，彩塑艺术的传承组成了中华文化基因库的一部分。

The production of colored sculptures can be traced back to theHongshan culture of the Neolithic Age. The art of sculpture inthe Wei and Jin Dynasties played a significant role in promotingthe development of colored sculptures. Subsequently, duringthe Tang and Song dynasties, colored sculptures graduallyevolved beyond religious statues and became popular as folktoys and desk furnishings. This artistic form continues to be anintegral part of China's cultural heritage.
