520 "The exquisite ceramic ware produced at the Imperial
Porcelain Manufactory at Jingdezhen in southern China
functioned as a kind of visual propaganda for the Qing
dynasty (1644-1911) court. Porcelain for the Emperor
charts the career of bannerman Tang Ying, a technocrat in
the porcelain industry, through the first half of the
eighteenth century to uncover the wider role of specialist
officials in producing the technological knowledge and
distinctive artistic forms that were essential to cultural
policies of the Chinese state. Through fiscal management,
technical experimentation, and design, these imperial
technocrats facilitated rationalized manufacturing in
precapitalist and preindustrial society. Drawing on museum
collections and firsthand archaeological evidence, as well
as the voluminous Archive of the Imperial Workshops, this
book contributes new insights to scholarship on global
empires and the history of science and technology in
China. Readers will learn how the imperial state's
intervention in industry left a lingering imprint on
modern China through its modes of labor-intensive
production, the division of domestic and foreign markets,
and, above all, a technocratic culture of centralization."
