| Summary, etc | "Mechanisms in Ancient Chinese Books with Illustrations" explores the world of machines and mechanisms described in historical Chinese texts, focusing on how their designs can be understood and reconstructed using modern engineering principles. The book utilizes drawings from ancient books, which are often unclear, to explain the historical, cultural, and technical context of these mechanisms. It introduces various mechanisms, including crossbows, textile tools, and other artisan tools, offering a systematic approach to synthesizing feasible designs based on the technology of the time. This approach aids in the reconstruction of ancient mechanisms with uncertain structures and provides a framework for further research into ancient machinery. |
