{"product_id":"the-handmade-paper-industry-in-ruizhen-cai-9798901860045","title":"The Handmade Paper Industry in Western Fujian: A Social History Study","description":"This book offers a comprehensive social history of Yukou Paper, a renowned traditional handmade paper from western Fujian recognized as a provincial intangible cultural heritage. Drawing on a rich array of local archives, surveys, newspapers, genealogies, contracts, ritual observations, and oral interviews, it explores the craft's terminology, production sites, and techniques. The study traces the commodity chain from production and transport to sales in both domestic and international markets. It examines the natural environment of its core producing areas, ethnic relations between She and Hakka communities, village clans, ritual alliances, and the industry's evolution from pre-modern times to the present. By situating Yukou papermaking within local socio-cultural contexts, national economic systems, and the global paper market, this work vividly reconstructs the rise, transformation, and enduring legacy of the industry and its homeland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruizhen Cai,Yao Chen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798901860045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.98d","brand":"Ruizhen Cai","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997623300351,"sku":"9798901860045","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-handmade-paper-industry-in-ruizhen-cai-9798901860045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
