Guizhou Echo | 枫香氤氲一抹蓝，麻江瑶族藏诗意
瑶族枫脂染距今已有400多年的历史，是贵州省古老传统工艺之一，主要流传于贵州省黔东南州麻江县河坝村的18个自然村寨。
With a history of more than 400 years, the Yao’s maple-fragrance dyeing is one of the ancient traditional crafts in Guizhou Province, mainly spread in 18 natural villages in Heba Village, Majiang County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province.
枫脂染因以牛油和枫香油混合染而得名，是瑶族世代传承的一种蜡染手工艺品，具有独特的民族风格和极高的艺术价值。
Maple-fragrance dyeing is famous for the mixture of butter and maple oil, which is a batik handicraft passed down by the Yao people for generations, with a unique national style and high artistic value.
相传瑶族祖先，因枫树而定居于此。他们通常在每年六七月采集枫香树脂，将树皮凿出一个V字形并在其下端装上一个竹筒，待竹筒盛满树脂后取下备用。
According to legend, the ancestors of the Yao people settled here because of the maple tree. They usually collect maple resin in June and July every year, chisel the bark out of a V-shaped opening and attach a bamboo tube to the lower end, and remove it after the bamboo tube is filled with resin.
然后在自织的土布上绘上精美的图案，将枫脂和牛油按比例混合装在容器里，置于热草木灰上以保持恒温。
Then delicate patterns are painted on the self-woven earthen cloth, and maple resin and butter are mixed in proportion in containers and placed on hot grass and wood ash to maintain a constant temperature.
当两种油融合后，用竹刀或木签蘸油勾画图案，蜡干后再经浸染、漂洗、去蜡、阴干等工序，便可制成不同色彩的图案。
When the two oils are fused, use a bamboo knife or wooden skewer dipped in oil to outline the pattern, and after the wax is dried, it can be made into different colors of patterns after immersion, rinsing, wax removal, drying and other processes.
值得注意的是，染料是由四五种药材的树根浸泡而成，染布最初呈现黑色，经漂洗后就变成蓝色。
It is worth noting that the dye is made by soaking the roots of four or five medicinal herbs, and the dyed cloth is initially black and turns blue after rinsing.
独特而精美的枫脂染制品不仅承载着信仰与感情，更蕴含着瑶族对人与人、人与自然关系的独特理解。
The unique and exquisite maple-fragrance dyed products not only carry faith and feelings, but also contain the Yao people's unique understanding of the relationship between people and people, people and nature.
