Introduction of printed cloth

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more than 100 Lingbao Dyehouses, which were distributed in counties, towns and villages, and their business was booming. When making, first soak the white cloth in water, stir it into paste with bean flour and gypsum, make a plate with hard oil paper, carve the patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish, spread the plate on the white cloth, print it with a scraper, then put it in a dye vat for dyeing, and peel off the attachments on the patterns after drying in the shade. After the founding of New China, the development of textile printing and dyeing industry gradually replaced this traditional technology.
