>'Cow dung' hot for New Year

'牛粪'玩具热销庙会(图)

Toys in the shape of cow dung (see photo) were popular at the Beijing temple fairs recently, especially among the young due to its novelty. The toys were named "niu fen" after its shape, and means "to strive" because the 2nd character in the name has the same pronunciation with the 1st character in "fen dou". Some Niufen toys have smiling faces painted on them.

近期的北京春节庙会上，几款寓意"奋斗"的"牛粪"造型的玩具(见图)十分畅销，有的"牛粪"上还画了可爱的笑脸。这些小玩意因富有创意大受年轻人喜爱。
