2. Tie-dyeing
Tie-dyeing is a traditional staining technique among the folks. The tie-dyeing technique of the Bai ethnic group had grown mature as early as in the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, and was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
The process to tie-dye mainly includes making the template, printing, embroidering, destarching, dyeing, unpacking and rinsing. The dyestuff is derived from the pure plant of isatis root, and the final color will be blue and white, the representative color of Bai tie-dyeing, appearing primitive and elegant.
Now the tie-dyeing has fused modern aesthetic elements, producing more products such as clothing, bags and tissue boxes, selling at home and abroad.
