  • In southwestern China, the Bai people have been tie-dyeing their clothes with woad for generations.
    We went to Dali, the ancestral home of the Bai people, to learn about their unique form of tie-dye and how to be groovy-the Bai way.

    Another wonderful cultural story. I was fortunate to be in Dali and bought several tie-dye placemats. Its like walking thru history in this town where the women still wear their native folk costumes.

    I don’t know how People in China are so creative just like when at war they created a semi automatic bow or the automatic pounder that uses water to work it.

    it sounds like she's speaking with the same tones as 普通话, so shouldn't she be comparing the blue at 1:33 to 海, not 黑? It doesn't sound like she's saying 黑.

      @@Goldthread The plant shown at 1:45 is definitely not woad, nor any close relative. My bet would be a strobilanthes of some sort. (It's also not indigo or persicaria tinctoria, which are used for a similar pigment elsewhere.)

      Like what your government has done to the Tibetan culture? You call jailing monks/nuns, destroying their places of worship, repressing Tibetan culture, and appointing their Lama preserving their culture? Fu*k off. #FreeTibet #DownWithChiCom
