Wuhu's starch dyeing industry.

Exhibited at Wuhu Museum, 50 Renhe Road, Jiujiang District, Wuhu City, Anhui Province. Wuhu has a long history of textile industry. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Huizhou merchants set up cotton textile factories in Wuhu, which promoted the rise of Wuhu cotton textile workshops. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Wuhu's starch dyeing industry was well-known, and the colored paper "He Ti" produced was sold overseas. The starch-dyed cloth was bright in color and of high quality, which made Wuhu's starch dyeing industry a leading position in the country for 300 years. Ming. Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu. Naifu" said "weaving is still Songjiang, starch dyeing is still Wuhu".
