Batik printing is a sort of age-old traditional folk handicraft for fabric printing and dyeing in China. Stripes on wax printed cloth result from natural chapping of wax, which is of uncertainty and hence contributes to the uniqueness of every wax printed work. Batik printing is thus known as a sort of cloth painting with "Fingerprints". Featuring rich patterns, elegant color and peculiar style, wax printed cloth is used to make costumes, trappings and various living utensils with primitive, novel, eye-catching and ethnic characteristics.
Having been handed down from generation to generation in minority regions in Southwest China, the art of batik printing has been endowed with peculiar artistic style and enjoys the fame of "ethnic artistic flower of distinctive Chinese features". Currently, the primarily self-sufficient wax printed products made by handicraftsmen and women have, together with the "Wax Printed Painting" (a sort of purely appreciative artwork made by people, mainly artists), extended to global market and displayed the unique enchantment of Chinese art.
