The making of figurines can be dated back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (475 B.C.-221), when, instead of burying slaves with the master when he died, figurines were made for burial. This was progress for the society. Most figurines were made of wood during the Warring States Period and the early period of the Western Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty pottery and clay were used instead of wood.
