Guizhou Buyi Carpet

Guizhou Buyi Carpet

　　The Buyi ethnic group is widely distributed across Guizhou Province and is one of the minority groups that has retained many of its traditional customs to this day. They are hardworking, courageous, and skilled in singing and dancing. In particular, the techniques of batik-making, embroidery, weaving, and cross-stitching by Buyi women have been preserved and continuously developed over time, forming a unique and exquisite folk artistry with a strong ethnic artistic style. The Buyi carpets produced by the Anshun Carpet Factory are new blossoms nurtured in this fertile soil of folk art. They incorporate outstanding traditional ethnic patterns while innovating upon them, building on inheritance to achieve development. These carpets are loved by both Chinese and international visitors and feature distinctive regional and ethnic characteristics. The designs include motifs such as “pomegranates and peaches,” symbolizing freedom, happiness, and longevity, as well as “butterflies, fish, and flowers,” representing joy and harmony. The carpets are meticulously woven from high-quality wool, offering elasticity and featuring clear, lively, and three-dimensional patterns that are novel and unique. The color schemes typically consist of white and blue, giving off an impression of elegance, brightness, simplicity, and a rustic charm. Current Buyi carpet offerings include varieties such as ninety-thread-count and one hundred twenty-thread-count options.
