古时候，荀子看到染布的染匠把布从蓝草形成的染料里面取出来，颜色比原有的青色更为绚丽，这就是“青取之于蓝而胜于蓝”的由来，同时也说明了从那时开始就有了蓝染工艺了。从周朝开始官府就设置有专门染布的职位，蓝染在我国的历史源远流长，已被多地申请为国家级非遗保护项目。
In ancient times, Xuncius saw that the dyer of the cloth took the cloth out of the dye formed by the bluegrass, and the color was more gorgeous than the original cyan, which is the origin of "green takes from blue and is better than blue", and also shows that there has been a blue dyeing process since then. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the official government has set up a special position for dyeing cloth. Blue dyeing has a long history in China and has been applied for national intangible cultural heritage protection projects in many places.
