Where is the hometown of Bai tie-dyeing?

Bai Zharan's hometown is Zhoucheng, Dali, Yunnan. Tie-dyeing is a traditional folk craft of the Bai people in Zhoucheng since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Tie-dyed handicrafts integrate culture and art, and tie-dyed fabrics are made by hand sewing and repeated cold dyeing. They are turquoise in color, dignified and elegant, exquisitely made, with fresh patterns and bright colors, and are exported at home and abroad. In Zhoucheng, everyone can tie cloth, from 10-year-old girls to 60-year-old grandmothers.

Those tie-dyed pieces can be described as the crystallization of Zhoucheng people's wisdom and a portrayal of their hearts. In the past, it has long been a topic for the elderly that the ancestors of the Bai nationality in Zhoucheng rode horses to carry goods to foreign countries and went fishing in the sea. However, the ancient tie-dyeing tradition of the Bai people in Zhoucheng has become the cultural card of Zhoucheng today.

Most of these patterns are composed of dots, irregular figures and other simple geometric figures.
