Published February, 1919. J. S. Gushing Co. — Berwick & Smith Co. Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Rank Badges for Civil Officials
    Section 2. Cranes and Peacocks: Rank Badges for Civil Officials Introduction Scholar-officials (called mandarins by Westerners) held the most prestigious positions in the Chinese imperial bureaucracy. As early as the Zhou dynasty (1027–256 BCE), court officials were selected based on ability. In the Tang dynasty (618–907) candidates for office were tested on their literary knowledge. It was the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), however, that refined the multi-tiered examination system; until their abolition in 1905, passing these examinations was the most certain path to social and material advancement for the successful candidate and his family. Candidates aspired to posts on the emperor’s advisory council (for first-rank officials) or to a provincial post. With further study a mandarin might gain promotion to the higher ranks—some ranks could also be purchased. There were nine civil ranks, each represented by a bird, with minor variations between the Ming and Qing dynasties. Birds were selected because they featured frequently in literary works and literati paintings. It could take years to obtain an appointment and once achieved, there were rules of appropriate behavior for civil officials. For example, they were not permitted to walk, but were required to travel in a sedan chair with the number of attendants and outriders appropriate to their rank—these could number more than fifty men. For mandarins above the fourth rank, all street traffic had to stop when they passed, gongs were beaten, and cannon fired when they entered or left a building. From a very early age boys were prepared for success in the examinations.

She is a cultural historian whose research focuses on gender and the body in early modern China. Her recent monograph, Cinderella’s Sisters: A Revisionist History of Footbinding (California, 2005), seeks to locate the practice of binding feet in the history of fashion and textile production. She is writing a book on the female inkstone carver Gu Erniang (fl. 1700-1724), a case study in the making and circulation of things and knowledge in the high-Qing empire. Contact: [email protected]] * * * The seminal research of Francesca Bray (1997) and Susan Mann (1992, 1997) on women and domestic work, especially textiles, have inspired a generation of new research in cultural history and art history, and the articles presented in this special issue attest to the productivity of this emergent field of inquiry. But curiously, historians of science and techno- logy—Bray’s intended audience—have been slow in embracing gender in their research agendas (with the notable exception of historians of medi- cine.) The reasons for this lacuna are complex, but the three articles gathered here suggest at least one answer: that one cannot take gender and women seriously without questioning existing paradigms about innovation, knowledge-making, and skills, and thus the very meanings of “science” and “technology.”1 Women and Innovations in Textile Technologies The three authors bring a range of disciplinary concerns and interdiscipli- nary methods to bear on their inquiries, revealing in the process the com- plexities that belied the simple rubric of “textile technology.” One salient 1 For enabling definitions of “science,” technique” and “technology,” see Bray 2008.

  • Embroidering Guanyin: Constructions of the Divine Through Hair*
    EASTM 36 (2012): 131-166 Embroidering Guanyin: Constructions of the Divine through Hair Yuhang Li [Yuhang Li is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Grinnell College, and will start to teach as an assistant professor of Chinese Art History at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in the fall of 2013. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2011, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University from 2011 to 2012. She is the author of “Oneself as a Female Deity: Representa- tions of Empress Dowager Cixi as Guanyin,” Nan Nü 14 (2012). She is currently completing her book manuscript entitled Gendered Materialization: An Inves- tigation of Women’s Artistic and Literary Reproduction of Guanyin in Late Imperial China. Contact: [email protected]] * * * Abstract: Hair embroidery was a particular technique practiced by lay Buddhist women to create devotional images. The embroiderers used their own hair as threads and applied them on silk to stitch figures. This paper will analyze the religious connotation of hair embroidery, the ritual process and the techniques for making hair embroidery in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. By tracing its appearance in both literary texts and actual surviving objects, this essay will ask how and in what circumstances human hair was applied to embroidery? What was the significance of transferring one’s own hair onto an icon? How did hair embroidery combine women’s bodies (their hair) with a womanly skill (embroidery) to make a unique gendered practice in late imperial China? During various stages of writing this paper, Paul Copp, Jacob Eyferth, Anup Grewal, Marsha Haufler, Dorothy Ko, Viren Murthy, Angela Sheng, Susan Strauber, Wu Hung, Chun-fang Yu, and Judith Zeitlin have offered their insightful comments and suggestions.
