"Today, you and I went to visit my old sister in the neighboring village, their family works in the drying field in Guangdong all the year round, and it is rare to come back once!" Xiangye said to the blue eucalyptus while sorting out the silk.

Blue Eucalyptus was a little puzzled, "What is the ranunculus field?" ”

Xiangye replied, "It is the place where the fragrant cloud yarn is produced." ”

Xiangyun yarn's real name is 莨yarn. Silk is the combined name of the yarn and the silk, and because of the rustling sound when wearing, it is also called "Xiangyun yarn", and later, the homonym is called "Xiangyun yarn", and Beijing is called the yarn. It is an ancient hand-woven and dyed and finished plant dyed fabric in the Lingnan area, and the modern industrial dyeing and finishing method can not make the real Xiangyun yarn, mainly because the minerals of the river mud cannot be replaced.

During the conversation, the blue eucalyptus and fragrant leaves had already walked to the entrance of the neighboring village, and they saw Lin Yan dressed in a gauze dress, among the green mountains and green waters, so it was frozen into a beautiful and moving painting, and it became a fresh and natural poem.

From the conversation between her aunt and Lin Yan, Lan Yu learned that Lin Yan is now engaged in the clothing design of Xiangyun yarn. She wants to make a truly unprinted but popular product, tailored for everyone, just to achieve the ultimate, so that the most suitable Xiangyun yarn can set off the most suitable person.

In Lin Yan's view, every piece of Xiangyun yarn deserves to be treated as a precious work of art, and at the same time, she also believes that "less is more, more is confused", she hopes that through simple, atmospheric and fashionable lines, the condensed time beauty on Xiangyun yarn becomes a fashion.

Lin Yan's design inspiration also comes from the Xiangyun yarn itself, she understands the soul of each Xiangyun yarn according to its fabric, pattern, texture and texture, does not do complicated design, and strives to make each Xiangyun yarn grow into what it wants.

After nearly three years of development, Xiangyun yarn has been loved by more and more people, and Lin Yan also has her own Xiangyun yarn community.

Lin Yan said: "Looking at the Xiangyun yarn designed by herself, being worn on her body and going to all over the world, I feel that this is a particularly beautiful thing, because only a Chinese woman in this world can interpret it so gently and moving." ”

It is no accident that Lin Yan was able to get in touch with Xiangyunsha thanks to her father, an experienced ranunculus worker.

The drying industry is heavy physical labor, and requires proficiency and patience, and there are less than 200 workers engaged in the processing of dried rice in Guangdong. Among them, experienced teachers are rare.

The drying industry is a traditional handicraft industry, and it is not a production process that has a standardized process to be completed by the production line, so its difficulty is the difficulty of heavy physical labor of hard dyeing and finishing, and it is also the difficulty of handicraft skills inheritance can only be understood and indescribable to deal with some links.

Due to special reasons, the production of sagebrush has ceased to exist, or even disappeared from public view altogether. More than 20 years later, when they returned to the drying field, even the youngest of them reached the age of 50 years old to know the destiny of heaven.

Today's Guangdong has a highly developed economy, and the return of the tanning industry is not high, so it cannot attract locals at all. Except for the old masters who were engaged in drying in their youth, there are almost no young people who inherit this craft.

Lin Yan remembered that her father had told her that in addition to grey cloth, the raw materials of the drying industry were also dioscis and river mud. Dioscorea is a perennial winding vine that grows in the ground, resembling taro, with a purple-black exterior and a brownish-red interior.
