蜡染 Batik，菊花图纹 Chrysanthemum pattern

（简）蜡染衣低调大方，连绵不断的蜡染纹样随性简朴，细看则察其做工精巧。蜡染图案蓝白分间，分布平均，一丝不苟。此背带运用了蜡染的制作技艺。蜡染即蜡画和染色，是延续千年的民间传统工艺。用蜡液在自织的白布上精心绘上图案，然后在蓝靛缸里浸染几次后捞出，放在锅里用开水煮去蜡质，再用水清洗浮色，即呈现出各种白色图案。蜡染的工艺十分费工费时，精致图案凸显制作者十分用心，把代代相传的传统工艺发扬光大。

(ENG) Batik clothing: this cloth is decorated with a randomized, simple and continuous batik pattern that is graceful and subtle. Closer inspection reveals the intricate craftsmanship that has gone into making this clothing. Batik patterns are meticulously and evenly distributed with blue separating from white. Batik involves wax drawing and dyeing and is a traditional art that has been used by the Miao people for thousands of years. Creating a batik piece of clothing is time consuming, labour intensive and takes great skill. Firstly, wax is used to draw intricate patterns on self-weaved white cloth. The cloth is then immersed several times into a barrel of indigo blue dye and taken out, boiled to remove excess wax, and washed with water to reveal diverse white patterns. The art of batik has been passed down through many generations.
