Renowned for their sophisticated patterns, simple colors and unique style, the national-level intangible cultural heritage of Miao batik took center stage at a fashion show in Danzhai County, southwest China's Guizhou Province. Highlighting Miao batik elements, designers perfectly combined modern design with traditional batik techniques to present a stunning show to the audience. An ancient technique, batik has been preserved and passed down from generation to generation among the Miao ethnic group in Guizhou since the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BC-220 AD).
