Tie-dyeing has a history of several years.

When it originated is uncertain.

The earliest existing tie-dyed products come from Xinjiang.

According to records, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, knotted and dye-proof twisted valerian silk was produced in large quantities.

Tie-dyeing was a mature technology in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 408 AD.

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's ancient culture. Twisting was very popular and common.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the dyeing and weaving skills in Erhai Bai area reached a high level.

By the time of the Republic of China, tie-dyeing at home had become very common.

Therefore, there is no heyday.

The Chinese nation inherited tie-dyeing.

Tie-dyeing process is divided into two parts: knotting and dyeing.

It uses tools such as yarn, thread and rope. Tie, sew, tie, sew, clip and other forms of fabrics, and then dye them.

Its purpose is to prevent the knotted part of the fabric from dyeing, so that the knotted part keeps its original color, while the untrimmed part is dyed evenly.

Therefore, uneven shadows and rich color halos and wrinkle layers are formed.

The tighter and stronger the fabric is tied, the better the anti-dyeing effect will be.

Ordinary tie-dyed fabrics with regular patterns can be dyed; It can also be dyed into exquisite handicrafts with complex composition and colorful colors, which are naive, simple, novel and unique.

Tie-dyeing is a quiet and peaceful world with blue and white as the main tone, that is, the contrast between blue and white is used to create a quaint meaning. The combination of blue and white often gives people a sense of elegance like "blue and white porcelain", while peace and tolerance are more reflected in the tie-dyeing sky.

Tie-dyeing usually takes cotton white cloth or cotton-linen blended white cloth as raw materials, and the main dyes come from the indigo solution of natural plants such as Sparganium, Radix Isatidis and Folium Artemisiae Argyi, especially Radix Isatidis.

Banlangen, formerly used for dyeing cloth, is a perennial herb with small pink flowers. Later, it was widely used, and the people who dyed the cloth planted it on the mountain themselves. Okay, it can grow to half a person's height. They are harvested in March and April every year, first soaked in water, then poured into a large wooden dye vat, mixed with some lime or industrial alkali, and then used to dye cloth.

The production method of tie-dyeing is unique, and the old book vividly describes the technological process of making tie-dyeing in ancient times: "pick" the thread and tie it, and then 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 main steps of tie-dyeing are drawing patterns, tying, soaking, dyeing cloth, boiling, drying in the sun, taking out stitches, rinsing and grinding cloth. Among them, there are two main techniques: tie-up and dip dyeing, and the key techniques are tie-up and dyeing.

Dyeing vat, dyeing rod, drying rack and stone mill are the main tools for tie dyeing.

Tie-dyeing is an ancient textile dyeing process in China. Dali calls it a pimple cloth and a pimple flower.

"Notes on Zitongzhi" describes in detail the ancient tie-dyeing process: "Knead with thread, and then dye. Dye it and it will dissolve. The knots are all primary colors, and the harmony is dyed. Its color is gorgeous.

"Its processing technology is to fold and bind the fabric, or sew and bind it, and then immerse it in the color paste for dyeing. Dyeing is made of natural plants such as Radix Isatidis, which is harmless to human skin.

Various tie-dyeing methods combined with the use of various dyeing methods make the dyed patterns varied and have amazing artistic charm. Tie-dyeing has a history of about 1500 years in China.

The earliest existing physical object is the twisted valerian printed silk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Tie-dyeing reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and it became fashionable for nobles to wear twist clothes.

Tie-dyeing and batik

Batik and tie-dyeing are popular traditional printing and dyeing methods of several ethnic groups in Yunnan. Their principles are similar, but the process is slightly different.

Batik, like photography, uses photochemical principles. First, the negative film (negative film) undergoes photochemical reaction. According to the intensity of light, the reaction degree is different. Finally, the darker the image, the more transparent the object and the whiter the image. When developing film in a darkroom, the image is reversed in the same way, which is the black and white photo we see. The principle of batik is very close. First, wax adheres to some cloth. The fabric not attached by wax is dyed with the color of dye, while the fabric attached by wax is not, and the original color of the fabric is still maintained. At the edge where wax is attached, due to the penetration of wax, the dyed color has also formed a penetrating appearance, and the color has a transitional effect from nothing to something. If alchemists continue to study chemistry and batik, they may invent cameras.

Tie-dyeing and batik can be the same, but the method of tie-dyeing is more vivid. The cloth is not attached with wax, but a part of the cloth is wrapped with rope. No dye is put into the tied part, and the other parts are the same color as the dye. Due to the infiltration of liquid, the color transition of knotted part is also formed.

Handicrafts such as wall hanging made by batik and tie-dyeing techniques are rich in national characteristics and have always been favored by domestic and foreign tourists.

If it is color, tie-dyeing is more natural.

But the pattern painting! It should be that batik patterns are more colorful, vividly reappearing the style of characters, landscapes, flowers and birds, and people's appreciation.

More lively.

Tie-dyeing and printing

Tie-dyeing is to tie the fabric tightly according to your own preferences by using tools such as needles and threads, and then dye it.

Because the dye can't penetrate the tight place, various patterns are formed after the stitches are taken out.

It is different from printing, which can generally be regarded as local dyeing. To realize printing, we must first make a screen (or drum) according to the pattern designed by the designer, and print the color where it is needed, not where it is not needed. The required process is complicated and the printed patterns are completely consistent.

Tie-dyeing is to achieve the printing effect by dyeing, and because the manual tie-dyeing method is not reproducible, it is impossible to have exactly the same tie-dyed ornaments in the world, which is the unique charm of tie-dyeing.

This kind of thing, just find it yourself.
