Fengxiang Dyeing

Fengxiang Dyeing is a traditional resist dyeing and printing technique. It involves using resin from old liquidambar formosana, mixed with a small amount of butter, which is simmered over low heat and then filtered to create maple oil used as a wax seal. A brush dipped in the melted liquidambar formosana oil mixture is used to paint patterns on handwoven white fabric. The fabric is then dyed with indigo, and after dyeing, the oil is removed by boiling the fabric in hot water, followed by rinsing in clean water, drying, and pressing. In 2008, Fengxiang Dyeing was included in the national list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
