Christine Moll-Murata and Song Jianze, Univ. of Tuebingen, Germany
Union List of Handicraft Regulations (jiangzuo zeli) in Chinese and International Collections: Draft Version.
Self-description: "[... This] catalogue [in PDF format, 400 KB, currently123 titles - ed.] has been devised in the framework of the DFG Project on 'State and Handicrafts in Peking, 1700-1900' and in cooperation with the Qinghua University Institute for the History of Science and Technology and Ancient Documents. It is based on Wang Shixiang's list first published in Yanjing xuebao in 1995 which has been reprinted and expanded in the first two volumes of Qingdai jiangzuo zeli. [...] Since those lists were published, further bibliographical research has brought more texts to light, so that our knowledge about handicraft regulations is constantly increasing. [...] Our main criterion for classification is the text type as designated in the book titles. Below that level, the list is arranged topically and chronologically. An alphabetic pinyin title index is appended."
Site contents: (1) Regulations and precedents (zeli); (2) Measurement inventories (qingce); (3) Technical instructions (zuofa); (4) Handbooks of calculation for construction (fenfa); (5) Prices of materials and wages (wujia he gongjia); (6) Appendices (List of printed catalogues; list of online catalogues; Pinyin title index; statistics)
