Shen Qingwan, a dyeing girl who grew up in Nanxi Township, has the unique skill of dyeing plants and trees passed down from generation to generation.
The fabrics dyed with flowers and leaves in the mountains are warm and elegant, but once they enter the bustling capital, they are squeezed everywhere and have almost no place to stand.
In order to preserve her native craftsmanship and find a way out for her neighbors who were struggling to make a living, she resolutely went to the capital and opened a small dyeing workshop. Collecting herbs as dyes, developing unique soft-color patterns, taking in low-class women who have nowhere to make a living, and teaching them the techniques of plant and wood dyeing.
But as soon as the business started to pick up, external crises were approaching, and the life of the ancient skills was hanging by a thread.
With her passion and enthusiasm, Shen Qingwan led a group of women to master solid color techniques and innovate over-dyeing patterns. They broke through the business wars step by step and gradually gained a foothold.
When the unique color of vegetation passes through the long streets of the capital, Nanxi Township finally ushered in real prosperity, the ancient method of dyeing vegetation was finally continued, and the way for ordinary women to make a living finally became more spacious.
The idea: women stand together in groups and inherit the ancient techniques of plant dyeing.
