Approaching Buyi People To Taste The Charm Of Intangible Cultural Heritage Bucket Brocade

"She thinks of her mother's knitted clothes and tears when she talks about it. I can understand her feeling of missing her mother and trying to pass on her craft." On the 25th, Taiwan's Dongsen TV reporter Huang Yuanyuan couldn't calm down for a long time after interviewing Wei Houzhen, the inheritor of Buyi's Douwen textile technology.

The day was the second day of the "colorful travel of media on both sides of the Taiwan Straits - striving to enter Liupanshui during the 14th five year plan". Media reporters from both sides of the Strait visited heyixing national handicrafts farmers' Professional Cooperative in Liuzhi special zone and enjoyed the intangible cultural heritage project of Liupanshui City, "Bouyei brocade weaving technology".

Yang Yiping, a reporter from Taiwan's Dongsen TV station, who is interested in the intangible cultural heritage of the mainland, told China news agency that he learned from Wei Houzhen that the skill requires high coordination of limbs. "If you step on a wrong line or put your hand through the wrong place, you can't weave it in the back. You have to tear it down and do it again.".

During the visit, two craftsmen were weaving cloth. They created the "Pepper pattern" with "rhythm" by symmetry and repetition, which impressed the media reporters from both sides of the Strait.

Yang Yiping believes that although the handicraft is not perfect, but these flaws have a unique charm, "it has temperature.".

"Young people should pass on this craft well", Yang Yiping further understood that Wei Houzhen had been teaching the local Buyi young women the weaving skills of Dou Wen cloth. "I hope that the Dou Wen cloth will become more and more popular, and the craftsmen can live a carefree life.".

On the same day, media reporters from both sides of the Taiwan Straits also visited the Bouyei Folk Museum in Luobie, enjoying various kinds of Buyi traditional costumes, watching Buyi traditional song and dance performances, and appreciating the long history and culture of Buyi people.
