The artistry of tie-dyeing works is the charm of tie-dyeing.

1 and tie-dyeing profile:

Tie-dyeing was called "tie-dyeing" and "twisting dyeing" in ancient times. The common anti-dye printed textiles in ancient times are "twist dyeing", "batik dyeing" and "clip dyeing", which are traditional and unique dyeing processes of Han nationality. One of the traditional manual dyeing techniques in China is the dyeing method of partially knotting the fabric so that it cannot be dyed.

2, the origin of tie-dyeing:

Tie dyeing has a long history. Originated in the Yellow River Basin. When it originated is uncertain. According to records, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, tie-dyeing anti-twisting valerian yarn had been mass-produced, and this tie-dyeing technology was mature as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the twisted Valeriana products had simple small clusters, such as butterflies, wintersweet and begonia.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, tie-dyed products were widely used in the costumes of Han women. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's ancient culture. Woven fabrics were very popular and common, and "sapphire skirt" became the basic fashion style in the Tang Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Valeriana officinalis products were very popular in the Central Plains and northern regions.

Tie-dyeing technology:

1, tying flowers:

Tie flowers, formerly known as knot, means that after selecting cloth, according to the requirements of pattern, pinch, fold, turn and squeeze the cloth to make it into a certain shape, then sew or knot it one by one with needle and thread, tie it tightly and sew it tightly, so that the cloth becomes a series of knots.

2. Impregnation:

Dip dyeing, that is, the knotted cloth is soaked in clear water first, and then put into the dyeing vat, or soaked for cold dyeing, or heated for boiling dyeing and hot dyeing, and then taken out to dry after a certain period of time, and then put into the dyeing vat for dip dyeing. This repeated impregnation, each layer of color, that is, "shiny."

Because the dye can't be stained, the sewn part naturally becomes a beautiful pattern, and because people sew with different stitches and different dye stains, it has a certain randomness, and the dyed finished products are rarely exactly the same, which is more artistic.
