It is believed that wax printing existed in China as early as during the late Qin (BC 221-207) or early Han (BC206 – CD 220) Dynasty, though widespread knowledge the existence of Chinese batik as a finished product first occurred during the Tang ( 618-907) Dynasty,when batik became yet another "Silk Road" commodity that was exported to Europe and elsewhere.   Wax printing,alternatively batik printing, is a mechanical dye-blocking method whereby hot(melted) wax is applied, often in the form of a geometric pattern or an artistic representation (anything from a flower to a human face), to a chosen part the fabric, then when the wax has dried sufficiently, the fabric is dyed in a cold-water vat of soluble dye. When the dyeing process is finished and the fabric has been allowed to dry completely, the fabric is then washed in hot water, which dissolves the wax, and the finished product is a piece of fabric with patterns, designs, images, etc., in a contrasting color to the dyed, or background, color.   Today there are only two communities, the Zhuang and the Miao ethnic groups, living in small enclaves in Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, have preserved the ancient tradition of batik, or wax printing.
