Abstract

The study on the origin of Nantong blue calico can start from two aspects, i.e. the origin of dye and the origin of dyeing technique. From the dye aspect, Nantong began to plant indigo plant (polygonum tinctorium) in late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, which provided the raw materials for the development of blue calico. From the dyeing technique aspect, Nantong blue calico was developed on the basis of "Yaoban cloth". The appearance and development of dyeing technique of Nantong blue calico is closely linked with the development of dyeing technique in Song Dynasty, the death of Jiaxie technique and clothing color system.
