It involves wax drawing (with traditional wax knife using beeswax), repetitive dyeing and wax melting. This technique could be dated back to Han Dynasty (220 AD). It was lost among mainstream Chinese but kept very well by ethnic Miao, where United Nation (UN) has named Miao batik costume as one of the world cultural relics. Miao batiks are plain, naive, rough and powerful.
