民間花布印染曆史悠久，早在一千七百多年前的東漢時代，印花技術便已問世。唐宋時代，印染布品愈加精美。藍印花布的印染工藝簡便易行：匠師以油紙制成花版蒙在白布上，然後用石灰、豆粉和水調成的防染粉漿刮印，曬幹後用藍靛染色，晾幹，刮去粉漿，花布便印染完成。以往南北各地村鎮均有大小染坊。民間匠師置幾口大缸，幾根棒槌，一塊大的碾布石，便染出疋疋絢麗的印花布。印花布分藍、白二色，質樸典雅，紋樣多為花鳥、蟲魚、方勝、古錢以及回紋、三角、八角等。

Blue Calicos

With a long history of printing and dyeing, the printing technology came out more than 1,700 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During Tang and Song Dynasties, dyeing cloth became more and more exquisite. Actually, blue calico printing and dyeing technology was simple and easy to perform: at first, the craftsman covered white cloth with an oil-paper print, and then scraped and printed with dye-resistant slurry made from lime, bean flour and water; then dyed with indigo when it was dry and finally scraped off the slurry after airing, and the printing was done. In the past, there were dye-houses of different size in every village and town in the north and south. As long as the folk craftsmen could afford a few vats, a couple of wooden sticks and a big roll stone, rolls of flowery cloth could be printed and dyed. The printed cloth is blue or/and white and elegant with patterns of flowers and birds, insects and fishes, ancient coins, fancies and frets, triangles and octagonals, etc.
