Ancient Chinese Encyclopedia of Technology by Jun Wenren Pdf

This book presents the first translation into English of the full text of the Kaogong ji. This classic work, described by the great scholar of the history of Chinese science and technology Joseph Needham as "the most important document for the study of ancient Chinese technology", dates from the fifth century BC and forms part of the Zhouli (The Rites of the Zhou Dynasty), one of the great Confucian classics. The text itself describes the techniques of working and the technologies used by over twenty different kinds of craftsmen and artificers, such as metal workers, chariot makers, weapon makers, music instrument makers, potters and master builders. This edition, besides providing the full text in English, also provides a substantial introduction and other supporting explanatory material, over one hundred illustrations of ancient Chinese artefacts, and the original Chinese text itself.

A History and Description of Chinese Porcelain by William Cosmo Monkhouse Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... Part IK DESCRIPTIVE. CLASS I.--PORCELAIN NOT PAINTED. Section A.--Plain White. THERE are some collectors who make a specialty of white porcelain, and a very interesting study it is. In the first place, it is the foundation of all porcelain. The first ware which, according to European notions, could properly be called porcelain, that is, highly vitrified and translucid, must have been white, or something approaching to it. There may be, as has been seen, some doubt as to certain old, unbroken coloured pieces, whether they are true porcelain or not, but the doubt cannot occur with uncoloured pieces. The green ware like glass made by Ho-chou, and the ware like jade produced by T'ao Yu, under the Sui Dynasty, may or may not have been porcelain, and the same doubt exists with regard to many of the so-called porcelains of the T'ang Dynasty, but if the description of the T'ang ware called Shu-yao is correct, viz. snow-white in colour with a clear ring, there is very little doubt that it was true porcelain. Porcelain can be artificially coloured throughout its substance (like the pieces made by Messrs. Minton for Solon's decoration in pdte-mvr-pdte), but there is no record of any interference in China with the colour of the body. For practical purposes it may therefore be assumed that all Chinese porcelain is "white" of more or less purity, and it would naturally be the desire of the potter that all the undecorated ware should be as purely white as possible. E White porcelain not meant to be decorated in colours is of two classes, glazed and unglazed. The unglazed, called biscuit, is comparatively rare, and is often carved and perforated in a very elaborate manner. In the Franks collection is a pair of cups (No. 26a) on the outside of which are...

Science and Civilisation in China, Part 2, Mechanical Engineering by Joseph Needham Pdf

As Dr Needham's immense undertaking gathers momentum it has been found necessary to subdivide volumes into parts, each to be bound and published separately. The first part of Volume 4, already published, deals with the physical sciences; the second with the diverse applications of physics in the many branches of mechanical engineering; and the third will deal with civil and hydraulic engineering and nautical technology. With this part of Volume 4, then, we come to the application by the Chinese of physical principles in the control of forces and in the use of power; we cross the frontier separating tools from the machine. We have already noticed that the ancient Chinese concept of chhi (somewhat similar to the pneuma of the Greeks) asserted itself prominently in acoustics; but we discover here that the Chinese tendency to think pneumatically was also responsible for a whole range of brilliant technological achievements, for example, the double-acting piston-bellows, the rotary winnowing-fan, and the water-powered metallurgical blowing-machine (ancestor of the steam-engine); as well as for some extraordinary insights and predictions in aeronautics.
