Description

This scholarly work from Cambridge University Press provides a detailed account of Chinese textile technology. As the first of two parts, this volume focuses on the evolution of bast fibre spinning and silk-reeling throughout Chinese history. It examines the fundamental processes used to produce yarn and thread, which serve as the necessary precursors to weaving. The study covers a vast historical range, spanning from the Neolithic period through to the nineteenth century. Readers gain insight into how raw materials were processed, including silk reeled from domestic silkworm cocoons and fibres obtained from plants such as hemp, ramie, jute, and cotton. This text is a foundational resource for understanding the historical development of textile production techniques in China.
