四、阅读理解
Do you wear clothes with colourful patterns(图案)? People usually use machines(机器) to make these patterns. But how did ancient(古代的) people make them?
Ancient people used tie-dye(扎染). Tie-dye is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China—it's more than 1,000 years old! It is popular in Yunnan. People first put cloth into the blue dye(染料). Some parts of the cloth become blue, but other parts have a lighter colour. When you open out the cloth, you'll see beautiful patterns.
Now, the tie-dye skill is China's national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产). Anning in Yunnan is famous for tie-dye.
Yang Cheng learnt tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Yang got the old skills. At the same time, he studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. It once took Yang two years to make two tie-dyed dresses! He used many skills of Anning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dress are traditional, while some are modern. He used images of Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. "I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works," Yang said.
Now Yang is still dyeing and he taught his daughter tie-dye. "We have the duty to pass down the skill to younger generations(一代人)," Yang said. Yang now teaches tie-dye in schools, communities and companies. More than 100,000 people learnt from him.
