Several printing and dyeing methods of printing and dyeing technology in Sui and Tang Dynasties

Color printing and blue printing are the basic methods of printing and dyeing in Sui and Tang Dynasties.

There are two kinds of colored printed cloth: flower-pressed stencil printing and hollow cardboard brush printing. The color printing process of embossed wooden template is to soak the homespun in alum water, then take it out and hammer it on the slate. When the hammered cloth is cooled to 70% to 80% dry, put it on a wooden board with a purple pattern of bristles, and rub it repeatedly on the surface of the cloth with glass balls until the color on the wooden board is evenly printed on the cloth.

Brush printing of hollowed-out cardboard is to put the oiled paper plate engraved with patterns flat on the cloth surface, one color at a time, and directly brush printing with dyes of different colors on the cloth surface. The printing and dyeing method of blue printed cloth is: first, spread the hollow petals on the white cloth, then scrape the anti-dye paste into the gap of the pattern with a "trowel" to make it leak on the cloth surface, then dip it in indigo after drying, and scrape off the anti-dye paste powder, thus blue and white patterns appear.

The dyeing and weaving techniques of the Tang Dynasty strive for gorgeous color effects. There are many varieties of silk weaving, among which brocade is the most famous, generally called "Tang brocade". The brocade in the Tang Dynasty was mainly weft brocade, which reached a high level. Brocade is the most exquisite and expensive textile in ancient silk fabrics. This is a multi-color fabric woven with jacquard patterns.

The artistic style of Jintang is characterized by gorgeous, fresh and smooth. Patterns and patterns are mostly based on geometric patterns and figures of various flowers and animals, which can be divided into Julian patterns, group patterns (group flowers), symmetrical patterns, scattered flowers, geometric patterns, halo and so on. Tang brocade is printed with weft. The advantage of weft brocade is that it can weave complex decorative patterns and gorgeous color effects.
