How is batik made?
Batik, also known as batik, is an ancient textile dyeing and finishing process unique to China. It began in the Han Dynasty and is said to have spread from the north to Guizhou Province. The batik products made in Huangnian County, Guizhou Province are rich in national characteristics and local flavor, and are known for their exquisite craftsmanship, which is called the hometown of batik. The batik process is to heat beeswax with a little mineral vinegar into a solution, use a special wax knife as a pen, dip in the wax solution to draw various patterns on the white cloth, then dye it with indigo, and then boil it to remove wax, thus becoming a unique batik cloth with blue background and white flowers. Batik products are hand-made, with diverse patterns, bold shapes and full composition. Common patterns are mostly centered on the sun, and various patterns are composed of geometric patterns and natural objects. Most of the natural objects are flowers, birds, fish and insects, including bronzes and imitation Han bricks, with unique indigo, which looks simple and beautiful and very pleasing to the eye.

Batik technology is unique, which is not only famous in China, but also favored by people in many parts of the world. After liberation, batik was exported to Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and other places. This ancient handicraft representing the Chinese nation has been loved by more and more people.
