Look at Hunan 丨 Blue Printing Flower: 逅 逅 靛 靛 靛 世界 世界

In ancient China, textiles and printing and dyeing technologies have a very long history. It can be said that the existence of "weaving" has triggered the emergence of "dyeing". Beautiful fabrics are inseparable from dyeing, so as to be pleasing or expressing symbolic significance. Clear, waxy, twisted, and gray crickets are the four ancient printing and dyeing skills in my country, which is what the clamps, waxed dyes, tie -dyes, and blue prints are called today.

With the impact of modern industry, the four traditional printing and dyeing skills have been difficult to find in daily life. But in Phoenix County, Xiangxi, Hunan, the breeze of the blue blue still was still there. Tonight "Looking at Hunan", take you into the blue printed cloth printing and dyeing skills.

Blue printing printing and dyeing skills

The blue printed cloth in Fenghuang County, Xiangxi is made from the blue dyes extracted from pure natural plants and the oldest hollow flower version printing and dyeing process. , Dyeing, drying, bruising, rolling, crushing and other processes. There are two types: pure blue flower fabric printing and color blue flower cloth printing and dyeing. The former has a clean clothing, without patterns, and is generally used in clothing and headpie fabrics. Curtains, tablecloths, fences, etc. are a good product for art appreciation, collection and research. In June 2008, it was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage projects.

The "Border City" Phoenix County, the literary master Shen Congwen's writing, is now one of the well -known and popular tourist destinations in Hunan Province. When the bustling of the ancient city became a habit, people seemed to forget its "silent and deep" characteristics. Here, the traditional printing and dyeing process is not drowned among tourists from the south to north. You can still see that the Miao women flip the washing cloth upstream in the rare Tour River, which reflects the real aboriginal life here.

There is a saying in the Miao family: "There is no silver and no flowers, not a girl", gorgeous silver jewelry and dazzling clothing are enough to prove their pursuit of beauty.

In the past, Miao Min, who lived in Dashan, couldn't afford silk flowers. A piece of ordinary white earth cloth will have magical changes in their hands. It is the most traditional printing and dyeing technique for the white earth cloth to stain the white earth cloth.

Tienin is the most critical link in dyeing skills. It is divided into two parts: tie and dyeing. It is dyed, sew, binding, dotted, pinching, etc. through tools such as gauze, lines, ropes, etc. The purpose is to play a anti -infection effect on the partial part of the fabric, so that the partial part is kept in primary, and the partial part is uniformly infected. So as to form uneven depth and layered color halo and wrinkles.

The tied soil cloth is not good. Its magic is that only after the line disassembles, you can really see the true face of the flower cloth.

The traditional Miao family tie -dyeing skills must be dyed once in the dye tank, which makes the finished products mostly monochrome. Coupled with the most affordable natural blue dyes extracted by blue grass, most of the elderly people in the western Hunan region are still blue clothing.

The simple blue and white color constitutes a simple and natural, ever -changing, gorgeous art world, and the bright and harmonious blue and white beauty is famous for the world.

And this charming non -heritage skill is very strange for most people. The development of blue printing cloth is also in a difficult period. The talents in folk printing and dyeing are also in the stage of green and yellow.

Therefore, we should also take the initiative to feel the charm of non -heritage, continue to inherit and promote excellent traditional craftsmanship, so that China African heritage culture has a long history and promotion.
