What is the flat peach in the 86th edition of Journey to the West made of?

In order to show that the flat peaches of Journey to the West are not ordinary peaches, the artists of the crew made great efforts. A scene in Flat Peach Garden was shot by the crew for the indoor scenery. To this end, the artist bought dozens of real peach trees in the suburbs of Beijing and arranged them in the studio. Because the real peach trees have no nutrients in the studio, the leaves are all yellow, and the artist has created many fake peach trees tied to the trees, which is very realistic.

After having peach trees, artists used many thin bamboo strips and iron wires to make many peach frames, then pasted them with leather paper, and then painted colors on the leather paper, thus making flat peaches and hanging them on the peach trees. However, the peaches made are inedible, and the Monkey King needs to eat flat peaches in the play. How to show it perfectly is a headache for artists.

After many experiments, the artist thought of digging a hole in the fake peach and putting a real peach in it. When shooting, one side of the real peach is facing the six-year-old child and the other side is facing the audience, thus showing the scene of the Monkey King eating peaches. The scene of the Monkey King eating flat peaches produced very good results and left a deep impression on many viewers.

The flat peach in the 86th edition of The Journey to the West has a hidden mystery, so this is what the flat peach in the original works did.
