Folk artist creates 'hairy monkeys'

Folk artist Yu Guangjun attaches the legs from a cicada slough onto a magnolia bud as he makes a "Maohou" in his house in Beijing September 2, 2014. "Maohou", which means hairy monkey in Chinese, is a traditional art form in Beijing that dates back to the Qing Dynasty and requires only the use of cicada slough and magnolia buds to form miniature sculptures. Yu has been using Maohou figures in his miniatures to depict scenes from Beijing during the 1960-70s period. [Photo/Agencies]
