Beetle Made Dye
There is a method of insect dye in the world, and its origin is very long. The ancient dyers often found all kinds of things as color, and insects were also one of them.
Considering the past, the dye made by a certain insect is quite famous. This insect nature likes to live in a certain tree, and people observe its differences, and take it and make it dye. At the beginning, it is difficult to obtain, but its color is bright and strong, and it is the top grade of all dyes.
The method is to catch insects first, gather and set various utensils, and steam, boil, and wet several ways. Steaming to kill its life, cooking to take its color, wet to remove the dross, leaving its clear liquid, this is the dye liquid. Soak it in cloth and silk, take it out over time, and expose it to the sun, with a fixed and brilliant color.
However, this method also has difficulties. The life of insects depends on the time and place, and is not available all year round. And if too much is caught, it may harm its species and cause ecological changes. Therefore, the dyeing workers of ancient times also often think about changes, and seek other methods to make up for it.
Today, dyeing methods are new with each passing day, and chemical dyeing is convenient and colorful. However, the dyeing made by insects is still good for everyone because of its natural and unique nature. Remembering the dyeing workers of ancient times, they made dyes from insects, exhausted their wisdom and labor, and passed on this method to future generations, which is sincerely honorable.
