Features: The research progress in the field of art and design studies has been extremely rapid in recent years, inevitably leading to a mix of good and bad, with both the best and the worst elements present. The history of dyeing and weaving textiles is one of the earlier and more mature branches within art and design studies. The predecessors such as Shen Congwen, Xia Nai, and Wang Yuyu not only left us with abundant achievements but also set examples for us through their personal conduct and academic methods. This book is intended to help students who are interested in the field of dyeing and weaving textile history but are unfamiliar with the literature, especially master's and doctoral students in this major. It is a reference tool for researchers. In addition to students, any non-major scholars who develop an interest in this field or whose research topics involve it can also use it as a starting point. The book includes: Academic Research and Literature Application, Documentary Literature on the History of Chinese Dyeing and Weaving Textiles, Productive Literature on the History of Chinese Dyeing and Weaving Textiles, and Close Reading of Primary Sources.
