Features: The technique of jiaxie involves printing and dyeing on fabric, which flourished during the Tang Dynasty but has long been lost to mystery in modern times. In 1990, the editor of Han Sheng first saw a jiaxie-printed "Hundred Children Quilt" in Shanghai. In 1997, he persistently traced it to the jiaxie workshop in Bada Village, Cangnan County, Zhejiang, interviewing the elderly craftsmen and meticulously uncovering the hidden secrets of the carved wooden blocks. Gradually, he reconstructed the entire process of jiaxie printing over a thousand years ago. Ancient craftsmanship is the forerunner of modern technology and the foundation of today's technological development: it is hoped that the rustic charm of jiaxie can also shine brightly in modern society.
