Batik of the Miao people, together with tie-dyeing and printing and dyeing, is known as the three major printing artistries in China. Printing and dyeing works in many traditional crafts have been modernized and mass-produced, while batik printing can only be printed by manual methods, making it a folk handicraft with unique charm.
