Batik is the printing and dyeing process of which nation?

Batik is a traditional folk handicraft handed down from generation to generation by Miao people. Batik is mainly concentrated in Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan and Guangdong. Batik has different artistic styles and forms in different regions. Batik is a traditional folk textile printing and dyeing handicraft in China, which was called wax valerian in ancient times. Together with tie-dyeing, openwork printing and clip dyeing, it is called the four major printing technologies in ancient China.

Batik is to draw flowers on the cloth with a wax knife dipped in melted wax, and then dipped in indigo. When the wax is removed, the surface of the cloth presents various patterns of white flowers on a blue background or blue flowers on a white background. At the same time, in the dip dyeing, the wax as a resist naturally cracks, which makes the cloth surface show a special "ice grain", which is particularly eye-catching. Because batik is rich in patterns, elegant in color and unique in style, it is simple, elegant, fresh and pleasing to the eye when used to make clothes and various practical articles for life.

Batik is based on people's need for clothing beautification, and it is produced after human civilization has advanced to a certain extent. It is carried out on the basis of various dyeing and weaving processes, so batik should be produced after the maturity of textile, printing and painting.

From the perspective of raw materials, batik has no special requirements for fabrics, such as cotton, hemp, silk and wool. Anti-dye materials are not limited to specific varieties, and animal and plant waxes can be used.
