On one occasion, our family went to visit the Chinese Ethnic Museum. The first thing that caught my eye was the colorful batik paintings, which were exquisitely painted on cloth and fascinated me. At this time the guide told me, legend has it that there is a clever and beautiful Miao girl is not satisfied with the single color of the clothes, always hope to dye a variety of floral patterns on the skirt, but she could not think of any good way to, all day long to mope about it. One day, the girl and looked at a cluster of flowers for a long time froze, did not come up with a way to drift off to sleep in deep thought. In a haze, a beautifully dressed flower fairy took her to a hundred gardens, where there are countless exotic flowers and plants, butterflies and bees busy. The girl was so mesmerized by the garden that she didn't even know that the bees were crawling all over her dress. When she woke up, she realized that she had just fallen asleep, but when she looked down again, the bees in the flowers had really just flown away, and had left her dress speckled with honey and beeswax, which was very unattractive. She had to take the dress to the dye bucket and try to dye it again to cover the wax stains. After it was dyed, it was taken back to the boiling water to bleach out the floating colors. When the girl took the dress out of the boiling water, a miracle happened: beautiful white flowers appeared on the dark blue dress where the beeswax had stained it! The girl's heart was moved, and she immediately found beeswax, heated and boiled it, then drew a wax flower pattern on the white cloth with a tree branch, then put it into the indigo dyeing solution to dye, and finally melted the beeswax with boiling water, and all kinds of white flowers appeared on the cloth, and the dyeing tank actually produced printed cloth, and the girl sang a mountain song happily. When people heard the girl's song, they came to her house to listen to her talk about the hundred gardens in her dream, watch her dyeing flower dresses, and learn her skill of tracing flowers and drawing, and when they returned to their own homes, they dyed a variety of flower cloths according to the method taught by the girl. From then on, the batik technique was spread among the Miao, the Buyi, the Yao, and other ethnic groups with which they lived.

Listening to the guide's introduction, I had a better understanding of batik. At a closer look, the batik works depicted the scenes of the Miao people's hard labor, production life and migration. For example, some depict graceful women playing with butterflies in the garden; some are sturdy men carrying heavy piles of firewood; some show the scenes of playing beautiful music; some are the scenes of hard work in farming, and some are the unique festivals celebrated by the Miao people. ...... Every piece of work is vivid and rich in patterns. Characters in the painting are dressed in colorful, lifelike, with the verdant bamboo forests and majestic mountains and rivers as the background to make the whole picture fresh and natural and pale and simple, the whole picture of the color scheme is unique, so that people get the visual enjoyment of ...... Batik is not only rich in patterns, but also very different styles, and some of the background as if Some of them seem to have intermittent threads in the background, some are like the bright and dark aurora borealis, and some are like a few hazy crystal blue light points scattered in the starry night sky, which are like the seeds of happiness sown by the God of Heaven. Batik also gives people an inexplicable sense of mystery, some feel like a bustling downtown that echoed in the street yells, some like the silence of the forest came a long song, evocative of ......

This, my favorite one on the number of famous batik writers Hong Fu far away from the "iron horsemen of Xiongguan". The painting, which is 250 centimeters long and 90 centimeters wide, depicts millions of soldiers galloping along the green mountains. The snow-covered green mountains are interlaced in an orderly manner, the mountain ranges and the Great Wall stacks on the mountains are clearly distinguishable, with white geese flying on the side, and underneath, a team of Mercedes-Benz soldiers are wearing black and heavy armor, clad in dark blue robes, and holding red tasseled spears glittering with a chilling light, which are particularly dazzling in the late night. Some of the horses were galloping at a fast pace, while some were idly pulling a large sedan chair, and some were lying fatigued on the side ...... A hazy white mist seemed to be shrouding the distance, as if covering up the battle flag, which gave rise to quite a lot of reverie ......

Then, my father told me, batik is a white cloth laid flat on the case, placed in a small pot of wax, warmed and dissolved into juice, with a wax knife dipped in wax juice painted on the cloth. Generally do not sample, only with the idea of painting, and do not use a ruler and compass, drawn in the line, straight lines and square and round shapes, folded up to coincide with no difference; painted flowers, birds, insects and fish, but also exquisite, lifelike. Painted, put into the dyeing tank stained, dyed and fished out of the boiling water, the wax dissolved that is viewed out of the white pattern. Listening to my father finished, I can not help but admire the Chinese people is how wise ah!

Batik is like a link that connects people from different times, different cultural traditions, and different cultural environments, and inherits China's unique craftsmanship.
