Liquidambar formosana printing and dyeing process is to cut off the export of Liquidambar formosana and collect Liquidambar formosana resin. Then, take out a part of maple resin and put it in a hot iron pan until the resin is completely dissolved, then add butter, and boil the maple oil according to the ratio of resin to butter of about 1: 1.
Then indigo (a plant dye made from excellent pigments extracted from Isatis indigotica, Indigo edulis, Polygonum hydropiper, etc.). ) As a dye for printing and dyeing Liquidambar formosana, indigo and water are diluted in the ratio of 1: 100 to make dye water. Dip in maple oil with a brush, draw a pattern on the white cloth, dip in indigo, degrease with boiling water, rinse with clear water, dry in the sun, and smooth. The printing and dyeing in Fengxiang, Guizhou Province are mainly concentrated in Majiang County and Huishui County.
Inheritance of Liquidambar formosana printing and dyeing;
1. Inheritance value: Yao people have language but no writing, and the printing and dyeing skills of Liquidambar formosana are all passed down by word of mouth. Printed patterns bear the historical changes, living conditions, folk customs and other humanistic information of Yao nationality, and have precious research value in national history, folklore and aesthetics.
2. Inheriting the present situation: At present, only 10 people in Heba Village, Longshan Township, Majiang County have mastered the printing and dyeing technology of Liquidambar formosana, and only 2 dyers actually operate it. The printing and dyeing skills of Liquidambar formosana are lacking, so the protection work is imminent.
3. Protection measures: 20 19, 1 1, the list of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects was published, and Majiang County Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center obtained the qualification of "Fengxiang Printing and Dyeing Skills" project protection unit; Huishui Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center obtained the qualification of "Fengxiang Printing and Dyeing Technology" project protection unit.
