The commodity attribute of tie-dyeing is obvious.
It has been favored by consumers at home and abroad, and its exchange value is rising slowly and steadily. The use value is also well known, not only in public places in Dali, Yunnan, such as conference rooms of people's congresses at all levels, conference rooms, airport terminal halls, waiting rooms, large-scale exhibition (broadcasting) rooms, etc. You can see the beautiful and elegant image of Bai people tied and dyed, and you can also see it in many important places in the capital, such as the Great Hall of the People and Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Not only in Dali, almost every family has tie-dyed fabrics or paintings, and various daily necessities sewn with Bai tie-dyed clothes have long been popular abroad. A Bai tie-dyed dress is a fashion for foreign people, and people who wear Bai tie-dyed clothes become a beautiful scenery.
Secondly, since white tie-dyeing is a handicraft that has been passed down for thousands of years, it can be said that tie-dyeing is a work of art, and its producer is the author of this work of art.
Any artist should always pour his ideals and mentality into his works.
Generally speaking, tie-dyeing is a work handed down by the Bai people for thousands of years, which carries the ideals and love of the Bai people for thousands of years, and carries the psychological state and development track of the Bai people, especially the Bai women.
From the case of tie-dyeing, due to the different people who tie-dye, their ideals, mentality, and the nature of choice, the design and treatment of the selected pattern cannot be exactly the same, so each tie-dyed horse (piece) cannot be exactly the same.
Therefore, every kind of tie-dyeing is an outstanding work of art, the object of studying the psychological ideal of Bai people for thousands of years, and the treasure of studying the artistic thought and mentality of this kind of tie-dyeing author.
Third, Bai tie-dyed fabrics have always used homespun woven by rural women (although it is rarely woven and used now). Its flower binding is unique to the Bai nationality and has been passed down for thousands of years. Its dip dyeing process is unique to Bai people in dye collection, production, dip dyeing and bleaching.
Then, we can say that tie-dyeing of Bai nationality is a carrier of Bai nationality, which entrusts the national ideals and interests of Bai nationality and is a beautiful and bright window to understand Bai nationality.
In this sense, Bai tie-dyeing is not a general commodity, but a special commodity with cultural and national value. Its cultural and national value lies in its tradition. Without tradition, it will lose its valuable value.
Fourthly, cultural analysis of tie-dyed patterns.
Let's talk about the bottom plate of tie-dyeing pattern first, which is the keynote of tie-dyeing.
The original version of Bai traditional tie-dyeing is all indigo, which is related to the fact that tie-dyeing is taken from Cangshan Mountain. However, there are many other natural dyes with rich colors on Cangshan Mountain, but it is no accident that Bai ancestors chose indigo.
Blue sky, blue sea and green hills are quiet and peaceful, which has created the quiet and peaceful psychological quality of the Bai people who have lived in Cangshan Erhai Lake for generations, and also created the Bai people's special love for blue.
It can be said that blue is the keynote of Bai traditional aesthetic image.
Blue background and white flowers (fancy, pattern, pattern, pattern) are the characteristics of tie-dyeing.
Although this white color is determined by the tie-dyeing process, it is by no means an accidental choice.
Erhai Lake is rippling and the waves are in full bloom; The sky is vast and the white clouds are long; Sha Ou seabirds play with the waves, Cangshan Xuefeng dances with the sky, and white clouds, snow and waves cultivate the sentiment of the Bai people, which has become another traditional aesthetic image of the Bai people.
On the one hand, soil and water nourish a person, on the one hand, the world cultivates a person's sentiment, on the other hand, the landscape cultivates a person's character.
