Zhang Qiutan (1865— 1942), a Miao native of Yanmen, Mayang County, loved to play with mud since childhood. When he entered a private school at the age of 8, mud was hidden in his book basket and desk. In class, he looks at the teacher visually, holds a statue of the teacher in the desk drawer, and is often beaten by the teacher. Zhang Qiutan complained that the teacher didn't know his ambition, so he stopped studying, went back to school, worked with his father, had nothing to do, made a clay sculpture and kept improving. Knead the mud for a long time, knowing that the clay sculpture of rock joints is the best. The clay sculptures of dragons, rabbits, lions, horses, eighteen arhats and golden toad in Liu Hai's drama are lifelike and sold in Gao Cun, which amazed onlookers. Zhang Qiutan is famous far and wide.
