SHANGHAI, March 8, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Tubu dyeing and weaving craft is a local intangible cultural heritage in Shanghai. The handmade fabric with rich geometric patterns is popular in the countryside of Shanghai.
In Dongmao Village, Tubu dyeing and weaving techniques are passed on and developed from generation to generation. In 2021, a training center was set up in the village to better promote the craft. Shen Jiahui, who is in charge of the training center, keeps on designing new products such as hand-bags, toys, and bookmarks, with the trainees.
At present, the industry of the homespun cloth has not only increased the incomes for the locals of Dongmao Village, but also brought fame to the village.
