Taipei: Caves Books, Date: 1989. For the first time in a publication outside of China, the raw material employed in textile creation, and the processing techniques applied to it, are documented in their context of historical evolution, geographical distribution and economic significance. Such raw materials varied from hemp, ramie, jute, cotton, etc., as well as the renowned Chinese harvesting of silk from the cocoons of domesticated silkworms. The time-span addressed runs from the Neolithic to the end of the 19th century. Archaeological and pictorial evidence, the bulk of it previously unpublished in the West, is combined with Chinese textual sources - translated and interpreted - to illustrate Chinese achievements in this field. Cambridge UP appointed Caves Books as the authorized publisher of this series in Taiwan. Light browning of endpapers; interior clean and unread. xxxiv, 520 pp., 258 b&w illust., 3 maps.. First Edition. Hardbound. Near fine/Near fine. 25 x 18 cm.. 1989. Caves Books ISBN 0521320216 9780521320214 [CA]

ISBN10: 0521320216, ISBN13: 9780521320214, [publisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom, Cambridge] Softcover This study, the first of two parts, gives a comprehensive account of Chinese textiles and textile technology and deals with the evolution of bast fibre spinning and silk-reeling in the history of China. These operations are the basic techniques in the production of yarn and thread, pre-requisite to weaving, and any study of Chinese textile technology must start with the raw material obtained from fibre plants such as hemp, ramie, jute, cotton, etc, and silk reeled off from cocoons of the domestic silkworm. The time-span covered runs from the neolithic to the nineteenth century. Archaeological and pictoral evidence, the bulk of it hitherto unpublished in the West, is brought together with Chinese textual sources (which are extensively translated and interpreted) to illustrate Chinese achievements in this field. Professor Kuhn's study reveals the way in which Chinese textile-technological inventiveness has influenced textile production in other regions of the world and in medieval Europe. It explains how textile technology reached its high point between the tenth and thirteenth centuries and attempts to indicate the reasons for its subsequent relative decline. The development of the textile industry in Europe was a key factor in the rise of capitalism. In the case of China after Sung times, textile technology and the organisation of textile labour ...
