从植物中提取的染料在中国高原的侗族社区和其他土著地区用于食品和服装着色的历史悠久。除了用作着色剂外，侗族社区历史上还利用染料植物来提高食品的营养、药用和防腐性能。然而，在中国，植物衍生染料以及相关的文化习俗和传统知识的持续存在受到了快速的社会经济变化的威胁。需要进行研究，以记录土著社区染料植物的民族植物学，以便将其保护和潜在的商业化作为支持地方发展倡议的可持续手段。2011年至2012年，对中国中南部湖南省铜道县的15个侗族村寨的着色剂植物及其相关传统知识进行了半结构化调查。对从半结构化调查中确定的关键信息者进行横断面走访，以收集每个已记录的植物物种的样本和凭证样本，以进行分类鉴定。研究地点的侗族家庭使用9科13种植物的花、树皮、茎、块茎和根作为染料，为他们日常的衣着和食物着色。在记录在案的植物中，共有7种用于给食品着色，3种用于给衣服着色，3种用于食品和服装。已记载的植物包括3种产生黑色色素的植物，3种棕红/黄褐色色素，3种红色色素，2种深蓝色色素和2种黄色色素。除了染料，这些植物还具有多种用途，包括药用、观赏、祭祀、食用和用作木材。从植物中提取的染料的使用在研究地点持续存在，因为它们在通过习惯服装和食物表达侗族文化身份方面发挥了重要作用。需要进一步的研究来评估染料厂的安全性、它们在提高食品质量方面的有效性以及它们的商业潜力。需要制定保护政策和管理计划，以可持续的方式保护这些民族植物学资源，支持当地生计，同时保持文化习俗。
Dyes derived from plants have an extensive history of use for coloring food and clothing in Dong communities and other indigenous areas in the uplands of China. In addition to use as coloring agents, Dong communities have historically utilized dye plants for their value for enhancing the nutritive, medicinal and preservative properties of foods. However, the persistence of plant-derived dyes and associated cultural practices and traditional knowledge is threatened with rapid socio-economic change in China. Research is needed to document the ethnobotany of dye plants in indigenous communities towards their conservation and potential commercialization as a sustainable means of supporting local development initiatives. Semi-structured surveys on plants used for coloring agents and associated traditional knowledge were conducted in fifteen Dong villages of Tongdao County in Hunan Province of South Central China during 2011–2012. Transect walks were carried out with key informants identified from semi-structured surveys to collect samples and voucher specimens for each documented plant species for taxonomic identification. Dong households at the study sites utilize the flowers, bark, stems, tubers and roots of 13 plant species from 9 families as dyes to color their customary clothing and food. Out of the documented plants, a total of 7 are used for coloring food, 3 for coloring clothing and 3 for both food and clothing. Documented plants consist of 3 species that yield black pigments, 3 for brownish red/russet pigments, 3 for red pigments, 2 for dark blue pigments and 2 for yellow pigments. In addition to dyes, the plants have multiple uses including medicinal, ornamental, sacrificial, edible, and for timber. The use of dyes derived from plants persists at the study sites for their important role in expressing Dong cultural identity through customary clothing and food. Further research is needed to evaluate the safety of dye plants, their efficacy in enhancing food items and their commercial potential. Conservation policies and management plans are called for to preserve these ethnobotanical resources in a sustainable manner that supports local livelihoods while maintaining cultural practices.
