Artistic Features of Batik in Guizhou

The artistic features of Guizhou batik are as follows:

Guizhou batik is a family-centered handicraft sideline. Due to the characteristics of regional and ethnic diversity in Guizhou, the traditional folk printing and dyeing process in Guizhou has formed a strong regionality, that is, different nationalities or regions have different technological characteristics.

Guizhou batik is mainly popular in Miao, Buyi and Shui ethnic minority areas. It is a folk art with a long history, created by the working people, used and appreciated by the working people. Some technological forms are primitive, such as directly filling red with animal blood and bayberry juice, or cooking and dyeing with rice straw and ash mixed pot smoke.

However, some crafts are very exquisite, such as Miao colored batiks in Ping Huang and Anshun, and Buyi tie-dyeing in southern Guizhou and southwestern Guizhou. Their harmonious colors and exquisite patterns are amazing. Guizhou batik art has formed a unique national artistic style, and it is the flower of national art with China characteristics.

Guizhou batik: also known as "Guizhou wax flower". It is unique in Guizhou folk art with its elegant colors, beautiful patterns and rich cultural connotations. The charm of batik crafts lies not only in the exquisite patterns, but also in the cracks on the fabric after the wax is cooled. Pigment permeates into the cracks to get all kinds of colored lines, commonly known as "ice lines". With the same pattern design, different "ice patterns" can be obtained after batik.

As an art of life style, Guizhou folk batik is an indispensable part of Guizhou folk cultural activities. Whether it's the decoration of holiday homes at the age of 20, the life ceremony of weddings and funerals, or the folk religious beliefs of worshipping ancestors or wearing embroidery patterns, all kinds of batik weaving and dyeing activities are closely related to the specific cultural background and living environment in Guizhou. ?
