Study On The Skills Of Miao Brocade And Ba Pai In Western Hunan

Babai is a Miao language,also known as "daopai",which is a traditional folk brocade handicraft of the Miao ethnic group.In Miao language,"Babai" means "flower blanket",which is commonly known as "tripe quilt surface" in Chinese.It is famous for its color cutting and flower digging technology,gorgeous colors and vivid patterns.Therefore,it is regarded as one of the most representative folk crafts in Danqing town.With the wave after wave of "inheritance",the survival context of Xiangxi Miao Jinba Pai has changed from a relatively closed context to an open modern context.In the face of this change,how Xiangxi Miao Jinba Pai should base itself on it to achieve better inheritance and development is a problem worthy of our deep thinking.On the basis of consulting a large number of documents,this paper combs the relevant theories and practical achievements of handicraft,brocade and art anthropology at home and abroad,in order to lay a solid theoretical foundation for follow-up research.Then,the field investigation method is used to conduct a field investigation on Bapai in Danqing town.The first part introduces the specific situation of the field investigation points from the two aspects of geographical location and villagers’ living conditions,and introduces in detail the general situation of Yanzhu village in Danqing town and the historical origin of Bapai technology in Western Hunan,as well as the formation,development and change of flow cloth and weaving technology.Then it deconstructs the technology of Bapai Pai from the aspect of technology,compares the similarities and differences between Miao Jinba Pai technology in Western Hunan and its "close relative" traditional Miao Jin and Tujia "xilankap",then introduces its weaving technology in Western Hunan from three aspects: pattern,brocade technology and its development and change,and explains its expressive characteristics in shape and color.Then,from the perspective of interpreting the connotation of culture and art,this paper analyzes the historical and cultural implication of Bapai technology in Western Hunan and Miao ethnic group,and interprets the relationship between Miao Bapai technology in Western Hunan and Miao ethnic group’s ethnic character and emotion.Finally,based on the background of the new era,this paper interprets the modern value of Bapai from five aspects: aesthetics,culture and art,social history,ethnology and inheritance and utilization value;Then it introduces the inheritance and protection of Bapai technology in Western Hunan,and puts forward targeted inheritance and protection countermeasures,in order to add a modest force to the protection and inheritance of Bapai technology in Western Hunan.
