Tie-dyeing is an ancient traditional folk manual printing and dyeing process in China. Are you online? The hometown of Bai nationality? In Dali, Yunnan, colorful tie-dyed products have become an indispensable part of folk tourism.

Tie-dye, ancient name? Zahi? 、? Strangled? Commonly known as Calico? , has a long history. Judging from the figures and costumes in the historical scrolls of Zhongxing in Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty and Dali in the Song Dynasty, the ancestors of the Bai nationality mastered the printing and dyeing technology as early as 1000 years ago. After the continuous development of Nanzhao and Dali, tie-dyeing has become a hand-printed art with Bai customs. Especially in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, tie-dyeing has become a folk fashion in Bai areas, and tie-dyeing products have also become court tributes. In the 10 century, Song Renzong explicitly prohibited tie-dyed articles for civilian use, and regarded them as special articles for the court.

The tie-dyeing method is unique, and the old books vividly describe the technological process of making tie-dyeing in ancient times. Pick? Tie a knot and dye it. Dye it and you can untie the knot. All the knots are primary colors, and the rest are dyed. Its color is gorgeous. ? The tie-dyeing raw material in Dali Bai area is pure white cloth or cotton-linen blended white cloth, and the dye is indigo solution of natural plants such as Sparganium, Radix Isatidis and Folium Artemisiae Argyi grown on Cangshan Mountain. The process is divided into design, manuscript loading, sewing, dip dyeing, stitch removal, rinsing, inspection and other processes. When making, according to the author's favorite pattern, the white cloth is tied with thread into a certain folded small pattern, and then immersed in the dye vat. Over and over again, the color is darker every time. What is that? Shine on you? . After dipping it to a certain extent, take it out to dry, remove the valerian knot, and the pattern of white flowers on a blue background will appear. Most of these patterns are composed of dots, irregular figures and other simple geometric figures. The composition is rigorous, the layout is full, and most of them are two or four lines. White tie-dyeing is widely used, and local mountains and rivers are often used as creative materials. Its patterns include Cangshan colorful clouds, Erhai waves, tower shadow butterflies, myths and legends, ethnic customs, flowers, birds, fish and insects. Fun is natural and varied. In the process of dyeing, because the boundary of the pattern is infiltrated by indigo solution, the pattern produces a natural halo, green and dripping, dignified and elegant, as thin as smoke, as light as cicada wings, as dreamy as a dream, as if looming, with unique charm and unique style, which has a kind of plain interest of returning to nature.

In recent years, Bai women in Xizhou, Dali have developed a new hand-made color tie-dyeing printing and dyeing technology by combining pattern art, ancient tie-dyeing technology and modern printing and dyeing technology. Color tie-dyeing breaks through the limitations of traditional monochromatic tie-dyeing tones, emphasizing the coordination of multi-colors and the unity of colors. The artistic effect of different patterns is formed by using the difference of width, narrow, loose, tight, sparse and dense when sewing and the different dyeing depth. It is particularly worth mentioning that in some Bai areas, there is a kind called? Anti-simple imitation tie dyeing? Our craft products came into being. Anti-simplification imitation tie-dyeing is a new technology developed on the basis of ancient tie-dyeing, which is like tie-dyeing instead of tie-dyeing, like splashing ink instead of painting, and the pattern has both tie-dyeing and splashing ink styles. Its characteristic is that the tie-dyeing process is omitted, and the color halo level of the pattern is richer, showing a mixed, colorful and heavy color effect. Color tie-dyeing and anti-simple imitation tie-dyeing have the same melody and different techniques, which can produce hazy and flowing style and return to natural beauty, better express the object and add artistic charm.
