Features: "Regardless of the past or the future, humans will always create new terms that meet the needs of the era. Terms are like leaves—some wither each year, while new ones are born. Many fibers and handmade textiles once used in Guangdong have lost their commercial value in the contemporary era, at least for the original fibers and textiles. The dictionary does not abandon these related entries because their existence helps people understand history and culture. From another perspective, they can provide contemporary designers with necessary historical knowledge and design inspiration. Re-examining history with a modern perspective sometimes sparks new design ideas and opens up new markets. "If it's just browsing, I have always thought this dictionary is a fun book." This dictionary is a copyrighted book from the U.S. publisher Fairchild Publishing Company, Fairchild’s Dictionary of Textiles. It has been revised and reprinted seven times in the U.S. and holds strong authority in the global textile and related industries. The dictionary includes entries on textile products and other textile-related terms, with a significant portion of the entries not appearing in any previously published professional dictionaries. Each entry is accompanied by a detailed English definition, along with a simple Chinese annotation. Despite its high level of specialization, it is highly engaging and serves as an important reference tool for professionals in the textile industry.
