Wuxi is one of the birthplaces of Jiangnan civilization, where ancestors lived six to seven thousand years ago. The recorded history can be traced back to the end of the Shang Dynasty over 3000 years ago. At the end of the 11th century BC, Taibo, the eldest son of King Tai of Zhou, together with his second brother Zhongyong, fled south from Qishan in present-day Shaanxi to Meili (now Meicun, Wuxi) to build a city and establish a kingdom, and named himself Juwu.
On the shore of the Taihu Lake Lake, there is Huishan in Wuxi, a clay figurine producing area that has been continuous for hundreds of years and passed down from generation to generation. Huishan is located in the western suburbs of Wuxi City, and the soil at the foot of the mountain is extraordinary. Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, once wrote the poem "The soil at the foot of Huiquan Mountain is like water". The soil here is delicate, with high viscosity and strong plasticity, making it a natural talent for making clay figurines
