According to Tuotuo and Arutu's History of Song Dynasty from the end of Yuan Dynasty to the third year of Zheng Zheng's book, Volume 493, "Nanning (now Huishui) produces famous horses, cinnabar, batik cloth ...", the batik cloth mentioned in this paper is also dyed with the fragrance of Yashui Buyi maple.

From the fifth year of Gande in Song Taizu (967) to the second year of Fuyuan in Song Zhezong (1099), Yongning (now Huishui) sent people to pay tribute to Beijing (now Kaifeng) for thirteen times, and the tribute was batik.

1083, Zhao Xiang, Song Shenzong personally inscribed the word "Tian Ran" on the imperial plaque of Buyi nationality at that time. However, the imperial tablet of Tian Ran in Xianfeng Gengshen was destroyed by fire, which also destroyed the highest honor of Buyi people.

Yao Fengxiang's printing and dyeing skills in Majiang County are mainly spread in 18 natural village, mainly in Heba Village, Longshan Township, Majiang County, and some neighboring villages such as Ganqiao Village and Tang Yang Village. Many local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty recorded this point.

The printing and dyeing technology of Liquidambar formosana in Huishui County has spread in the southeast of Huishui County, and the inheritors are mainly Buyi people, with a history of 150 years.

Legend of Fengxiang printing and dyeing:

Liquidambar formosana has been passed down for thousands of years and there is a beautiful legend. In a village called Buyi, there was a girl named Chawei Shaomiao, who translated into a fairy-like girl in Buyi language. Tea is delicious, beautiful in appearance and ingenious in mind, especially good at weaving. She is also good at thinking and often worries about the single dress of her own nation.

One day, Shaomiao at the end of tea put the knitting bed under the maple tree as usual, and the melted maple oil dripped from the old tree, just dripping on the woven homespun. The tea tastes less. Miao is in a hurry and goes to wash it. I didn't expect that no matter how hard she rubbed it, she couldn't wash it off, so she could only dye it. After soaking and rinsing in indigo vat, white flowers appeared on the dripping part of Liquidambar formosana oil.

Buyi people believe that this is a dye given by God to Buyi people. Liquidambar formosana is regarded as a sacred tree by them, and Chawei Shaomiao is regarded as the ancestor of Liquidambar formosana dyeing by them.
