Abstract  In 1996, the Institute for the History of Natural Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences began work on the Zhongguo chuantong gongyi quanji (Complete Collection of Traditional Chinese Handicrafts). In 2016, Elephant Press published this twenty-volume magnum opus under the chief editorship of Lu Yongxiang (路甬祥). This rich and informative book series systematically details traditional handicrafts in over ten main categories that demonstrate Chinese scholars' mastery of fields such as lacquerware, ceramics, metal crafts, machinery, spinning and weaving, dyeing, brewing, processing of traditional Chinese materia medica, papermaking and printing, sculpting, and armor restoration. The authors are well versed in traditional Chinese handicrafts and have the pertinent academic credentials, elevating research on the subject to a new level and breadth. However, the Zhongguo chuantong gongyi quanji has not yet covered all significant handicrafts, and the cultural implications have still to be explored.
