How is Jingpo Brocade of Jingpo Culture made?

Jingpo brocade is made of self-twisted cotton thread, hemp thread and wool, which are processed by natural printing and dyeing, and then molded into brocade raw materials. The loom consists of an I-shaped main line bracket, a belt, several pairs of shuttles, two identical bamboo poles, a spear, a spool and a bottom pole, all made of bamboo or wood.

When making, the lines are vertically arranged on the main line bracket. When making, they sit on a bench, and the smaller shuttle completes horizontal wiring and picking flowers. Finally, darts bite people. In tapestry technology, the most commonly used are two kinds of thread pressing technologies: 4-strand and 8-strand. They are arranged and combined according to brocade and pattern types, and used together to make various patterns. If necessary, it can also be combined with manual thread picking to make the pattern more accurate and rich.

While single-line pressing is used to manufacture belts and other parts. In a word, the production of Jingpojin is complicated and tedious.

Its principle is similar to TV imaging: every intersection of vertical and horizontal lines is like a pixel, and various tapestry products can be made by interlaced scanning and progressive scanning. The ancestors of Jingpo nationality mastered advanced hand-made textile technology, including spinning cotton, spinning hemp, dyeing, threading and weaving.

Traditional tapestries use a very old and simple wooden and bamboo covering to count, pick, insert, shuttle and squeeze threads, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also a "severe" test for weavers' eyesight. It takes at least a month to make a skirt.
