糖塑，俗名吹糖人，是以糖稀为原料，人工以捏、吹、手口结合，在特定的时间内制作成各种动物、植物、鸟类、水果、人物形象等各种手工艺品。制作成的作品，栩栩如生，活灵活现，有很高的观赏价值和艺术价值。

赵留合先生，15岁时就师从叔父赵遂庆学艺，属世代传承。在他近50年的学艺生涯中，在前人技艺的基础上有所创新。正像他本人所说：艺术是人们创造的，不能停留在原来的基础上，前人没有做过的，要大胆去尝试，去探索，去实践，要有超越前人的思想和意识，靠心、手、口相结合去做好每件作品。因此，经他做出的作品，不仅高雅、耐看，而且种类多，色泽美，活灵活现，栩栩如生。作品在民间广为应用，农村红白喜事，糖艺可以设馔摆祭；各种庙会期间，经常参加民俗民风的展示活动，为许多大型盛典、寺庙神象开光活动制作供品。他的作品造型别致，寓意深远，曾在洛阳电视台、偃师电视台、偃师有线电视台、洛阳日报《偃师西毫新讯》中专题报道。
