Tie-dyeing(扎染法) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. It has a history 2 of about 1,500 years. People in the past made it by hand.
Yang Cheng, 52, learned tie-dyeing from his mother in the 1980s. Now he is doing the job all 3 the time. He has taught his daughter this technique(技艺). Yang continued(继续) the old skill of tie-dyeing. At the same time, he studied new tie-dyeing skills in other 4 countries such as Japan, India and France.
Yang once made two sets of specially tie-dyed 5 dresses. It took him about two years. He used many skills. Some patterns on the dresses are 6 traditional, while some are modern. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dyed 7 works,” he said.
Yang now 8 teaches tie-dyeing in many places. More than 100,000 people learn from 9 him. Some people worry that tie-dyeing as an art form may vanish(消失) 10 because using machines is fast and cheap. But Yang said, “Machines can’t take the place of our creative hands.”
