But as the times have changed, this ancient craft has begun to show great economic value in modern life.
What the Murray Group is doing is promoting this craft and the excellent culture behind it.
The factory they came to today is not a dyeing factory, but a garment factory that designs tie-dyed fabrics into garments or sorts and packs them.
All the fabrics come in here, and there are top designers who will make them into a beautiful piece of clothing, giving these garments a unique life before they are launched into the market.
What we see is not just a piece of tie-dyed fabric, but a piece of fabric that has undergone a series of transformations that bring us beauty!
That is the beauty of tie-dye.
The beauty of folk culture.
There are other craft threads here too, besides the costumes.
These include curtains, tablecloths, scarves …… there are countless.
“Vice President Nian, please come inside!”
The factory manager of the garment factory knew that Nian Xiaomu was coming and had already waited at the door in advance, and as soon as he saw her, he immediately welcomed her.
He led them into the factory’s office.
Inside, tea and water had been prepared, as well as snacks and fruits.
The office had been carefully tidied up and there was no rubbish in the bin.
The people around, too, reacted nervously as if their superiors were coming to inspect.
Qi Shuai stood up straight, then stared at Nian Xiaomu, all waiting for her admonition.
“You guys don’t need to be nervous, I’m new here and there are many things I don’t understand that I want to ask you guys, if you guys are too nervous, I’ll be too embarra*sed to ask instead.” A sweet smile lifted up on Nian Xiaomu’s face as she swept her gaze over everyone in front of her.
Her delicate face was stunning.
Her gentle and equal gaze, in turn, made people feel close to her.
In the garment factory, apart from the manager who was still a little put out, the way the others looked at Nian Xiaomu became much warmer.
They opened their mouths one after another.
“Vice President Nian you have questions, just ask, we know, we will tell you.”
“I’ve been in the factory for decades, almost as old as this factory, Vice President Nian can ask me anything he wants to know?”
“I’ve been around for ten years too ……”
“……”
You and I suddenly went askew, discussing the time spent at the factory.
Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu’s eyes really swept a touch of surprise, did not expect the workers here, the length of service are so long, twisted his head to look at the director of the clothing factory.
The factory manager of the garment factory was surnamed Hong, called Hong Shi.
He had been in this factory for decades, and was himself a lover and inheritor of the tie-dye craft, and was well respected by the people in the factory.
Everyone usually calls him Factory Manager Hong.
Seeing the surprise in Nian Xiaomu’s eyes, he opened his mouth to explain to her.
“The people in our factory, many of them are ethnic minorities, tie-dye is like a skill left behind by their ancestors for them, it is sentimental and must be pa*sed on, Old Mo always really values this craft and wants to give it a boost, the factory treats everyone well, everyone doesn’t want to leave, many people are here for life! ”
“……”
Nian Xiaomu’s eyes shuddered slightly, and a warmth and pride flooded his heart.
Looking at the pairs of sincere and expectant eyes in front of her, she suddenly understood somewhat the meaning of her grandfather’s insistence on doing cultural promotion all his life.
In the age of mechanised production, many things, with the changes of the times, slowly disappear.
But human emotions do not!
The best national cultures can also be preserved and continue to shine brightly in the midst of the waves.
