‎O. O. u. J. (Chefoo, Women's Bible School, Self-help Dept., Presbyterian Mission, ca. 1930). Gewebter Original-Einband im Querformat 18,5 x 23,5 cm mit traditioneller chinesische Fadenbindung, der eine Wald- und Flußlandschaft mit chinesischen Häusern zeigt.

Sammlung von 8 chinesisch-traditionellen Scherenschnitt-Arbeiten der Women's Bible School der amerikanischen Presbyterian Mission in Chefoo, die jeweils eine lehrreiche Geschichte (Legende) aus traditioneller chinesischer Überlieferung abbilden. Die Motive wurden aus schwarzem Karton ausgeschnitten und auf handgeschöpftem Papier aufgebracht. Alle Bildtafeln gegenübergestellt ist jeweils ein bedrucktes Pergamentpapier (Seidenhemdchen), das den zugehörigen Text der Legende in englischer Sprache enthält. Eingebunden ist die Sammlung in einen gewebten Einband im Stile traditioneller chinesischer Wandteppiche. Es hat den Anschein, daß jedes Exemplar dieser Arbeit einen motivisch individuell gewebten Einband erhalten hat, so daß es sich bei jedem Exemplar um ein Unikat handelt. Collection of 8 Chinese-traditional paper cutting works by the Women's Bible School of the American Presbyterian Mission in Chefoo, each of which depicts an educational story (legend) of traditional Chinese lore. The motifs are cut out of black cardboard and applied to handmade paper. Each of the picture panels is juxtaposed with printed parchment paper, which contains the associated text of the legend in English. The collection is bound in a woven cover in the style of traditional Chinese tapestries. It appears that each copy of this work has been given a cover that is individually motif woven, so that each copy is unique.‎

‎Masterpieces of Chinese Silk Tapestry and Embroidery in the National Palace Museum.‎

‎1971. 101 S.; farb. Illustr.; 28 cm. Originalleinen mit transparentem Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Gutes Ex.; hinteres Vorsatz mit kl. Gekritzel (Besitzvermerk?) u. kl. Stempel. - Chinesisch und Englisch. - Vorwort von Chiang Fu-tsung. - The art of weaving was invented extremely early in China; its products may take many forms, for example pongee, fuille, raw silk, cotton, satin, chiffon, brocade, organza, gauze, and crepe de Chine. Although the weaving method is different for each material, a common factor is that the weft threads run across the entire width of the warp threads, criss-crossing from selvedge to selvedge. During the southern Sung dynasty (1127-1279) Uighur tribesmen on the north-west frontier of China introduced the art of tapestry, the method of weaving of which differed from previously known techniques. The mysteries of this art were explained by Chuang Ch'o of the Sung dynasty in the Chi-le-pien: "The silk tapestry woven in Ting-chou does not use a large frame. The warp of dyed silk is hung on a wooden frame; any required pattern of flowers, animals, of birds was then depicted with weft threads using a small shuttle. Finally the design would be completed with varicoloured thread upon the warp and weft. Since the weft threads are not connected, it is possible to see a small gap between different parts of the design. This gap gives a carved effect, and, as a result, tapestry is sometimes called "cut silk." It takes a year to make a set of women's clothes. However many times a similar design is attempted, it is impossible to produce an exact facsimile because the shuttle carrying the weft threads does not pass all the way across the tapestry's width.' It is at once apparent that this last sentence contains the key to the difference between tapestry technique and other traditional Chinese weaving techniques. The value of tapestry as an art form is high. For this reason, many tapestries of calligraphy or painting are of no less worth than an original calligraphy or painting. The textile collection of the National Palace Museum is devoted exclusively to silk tapestry, an indication of its high aesthetic value. Embroidery has long been a highly-prized art in China and has been practised by women since earliest times. Apart from its use for adorning clothes, from the Sung and Yuan dynasties onwards calligraphy and painting began to be embroidered. Many greatly pleasing pieces were produced and are now in the collection of the National Palace Museum. ?
