Shen Qinglan, a doctor of dyeing and weaving from Huaqing University and a researcher at the Qian Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center - became the daughter of an attendant at the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Yong Dynasty. After his father died and the family was ruined, the whole family was exiled to Guizhou Province. Everyone felt that the life of this guilty minister's daughter was over.
But Shen Qinglan lowered her head and looked at her hands - the indigo on her fingertips was still there, and her wrist was still as steady as an iron vice. Twenty years of batik research in previous lives was not in vain.
From precise temperature control to ferment indigo, to quantifying the effect of ice patterns; from integrating Miao village embroiderers in the cooperative model, to branding operations to crush Jiangnan weaving - she uses the hard-core knowledge of modern intangible cultural heritage protection to reduce the dimensionality of the ancient dyeing and weaving industry.
It's just that she's not born cruel.
She is afraid of society and doesn't like to deal with people. She would rather squat next to the dye vat and watch the indigo ferment than go out to socialize. She rejects machinations and believes in "just do your craft well" until reality tells her time and time again that no matter how good your craftsmanship is, it is vulnerable to power.
Is my father's "dying of tribute case" really an accident?
Every business expansion involves the hidden hands of the weaving and dyeing interest groups in the court;
Every opponent has his own position and difficulties, and is not a stereotyped bad guy.
She was forced to change from a dyer to a chess player. This process was unpleasant and painful.
——One indigo dyes a thousand colors, and hands weave it into eternal blue.
