Characteristics of batik in Guizhou

Guizhou batik is characterized by simple and elegant colors, exquisite patterns and rich cultural connotations.

Traditional batik patterns in Guizhou can be divided into natural patterns and geometric patterns. Natural patterns are mostly animal and plant patterns, while figures are rare, and patterns reflecting social life gradually appear. Geometric patterns are mostly abstractions of natural objects.

Due to the cultural exchange in history, it is difficult to confirm which pattern is unique to the nation or which pattern is unique to a folk art. Although some patterns are the same "matrix", different nations have different meanings. There are many traditional batik patterns with rich connotations, so we only choose a few important works to explain them.
