Jingpo Brocade Deduces Jingpo Culture On The Skirt

February 7, "Jingpo men learn the way of lightning to make long knives, Jingpo women learn the way of rainbow weaving the skirt."

For Jingpo women, brocade occupies a very important position in life.

Jingpo brocade is the handicraft of Jingpo women handed down from generation to generation.

Most of the tapestry is made of twisted cotton, linen and wool yarn after natural printing and dyeing. It is made of wood weaving machine, drawing thread and weft knitting.

In fabrics, warp threads are generally black. Weft threads are mostly black and red, and are decorated with yellow, blue, green, white and other color patterns.

Its color is not restricted by nature, and its tone is contrast and bright.

As the Chinese national folk dyeing and weaving handicraft, Jingpo brocade is used for its purpose.

It is understood that all Jingpo women have learned to spin and weave since ancient times.

In the Jingpo stockade there is such a saying: "a little girl can't knit a skirt and can't marry a man. A young man can't play a long sword and can't go far."

In general, Jingpo mother teaches her daughter knitting skills while imparting the name, meaning, history and creation story.

At the scene of the competition, dozens of Jingpo ethnic women competed with each other, taking advantage of all of them to showcase the exquisite skills of Jingpo brocade.

They use their dexterous hands to move back and forth on the looms, weaving various brocade works, including knitted skirts, cloth bags and leggings.

Yang Qinghua, vice chairman of the Dehong CPPCC Committee, said: "Jingpo's Brocade is an epic with great structure. It is the oracle bone inscription that records the historical changes of the Jingpo people.

Jingpo nationality was held this time.

However, the reporter noticed that there was no young face among Jingpo women.

"Brocade is an important part of Jingpo culture, but there are still some problems in inheritance."

The competition judge ranked Lu Xian.

Pai Xian, who is nearly 50 years old, has been praised as "the descendant of Jingpo dress".

She followed her mother from childhood to learn brocade, set up a Brocade Factory, set up Jingpo dress shop, and participated in exhibitions and performances of brocade production many times to expand the influence of Jingpo dress.

"These patterns are not only Jingpo, but also the oldest patterns in China," he told reporters.

Our Jingpo people have been using the original method to inherit.

"However, there is no money for weaving at this time, so no one wants to weave, but young people will be weaving less and less."

My daughter also taught me from childhood, forcing her to be woven like my mother taught me.
