A short illustrated overview from China Pictorial's History of Chinese Science and Technology series on the development of Chinese weaving, from Shang and Chou silk culture through Han, Tang, Sung, Ming and Ching dynasties to modern mechanized mills. It covers silk reeling, jacquard gauze, brocade, early looms and shuttles, the pedal loom, and cotton innovations by the weaver Huang Tao-po. Photographs show Han tomb textiles, a Han stone-rubbing of looms, Astana brocade, and modern jacquard looms and mills. The closing section reflects the 1976 political perspective on the post-Liberation textile industry.
