Synopsis

The book "Good Craftsmanship: Colored Illustrations of Traditional Chinese Craftsmanship" is a collection of many export albums painted by painters from Guangzhou during the Qing Dynasty, combined with a large number of handed down documents, to truly collect and introduce the detailed production processes of farming, papermaking, tea making and trade, textiles, lacquer making, porcelain manufacturing and trade, glass making, etc., Which are closely related to life and full of Chinese characteristics. Through words and pictures, this book re-collects, edits, and recreates these precious ancient production process materials that have been scattered overseas. It shows the Chinese social life and craftsman spirit at that time. This book also explores from the side how this surging "China Wave" affects the Western world in terms of cultural life and philosophical thought.

Reader comments

The pictures in the book are exquisite and show the production process of various crafts in detail. It seemed that I could travel back to the Qing Dynasty and witness the exquisite skills of the craftsmen with my own eyes. This reminds me of the book "Tiangong Kaiwu", both of which have detailed records of ancient Chinese technology and culture. These books are like windows into history, giving us a glimpse into the wisdom and creativity of the ancients. I hope more people can read such good books and feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture.

I beg the protagonist to be a craftsman, preferably someone with spiritual energy recovery and martial arts skills. The protagonist can build his own equipment, which is more sci-fi. Two-dimensional equipment is also acceptable, and he can assemble and strengthen himself! ! ! ! ! ! !
