This book charts the vicissitudes of a rural community of papermakers in Sichuan. The process of transforming bamboo into paper involves production-related and social skills, as well as the everyday skills that allowed these papermakers to survive in an era of tumultuous change. The Chinese revolution - understood as a series of interconnected political, social, and technological transformations - was, Jacob Eyferth argues, as much about the redistribution of skill, knowledge, and technical control as it was about the redistribution of land and political power. The larger context for this study is the 'rural-urban divide': the institutional, social, and economic cleavages that separate rural people from urbanites. This book traces the changes in the distribution of knowledge that led to a massive transfer of technical control from villages to cities, from primary producers to managerial elites, and from women to men. It asks how a vision of rural people as unskilled has affected their place in the body politic and contributed to their disenfranchisement. By viewing skill as a contested resource, subject to distribution struggles, it addresses the issue of how revolution, state-making, and marketization have changed rural China.

The author's interests:
1.Production-related skills. (technical, social)
2. the skills of everyday life. Quotidian strategies.
The argument of the book: the Chinese revolution was as much about the redistribution of skill, knowledge, and technical control as it was about the redistribution of land and political power.
Context: rural-urban divide:Argument: this gap is caused in the distribution of knowledge bt rural and urban China date to the beginning of the 20th c.
Chinese craft industries survived relatively intact into the mid of 20c. (2)
Focus: rural industries.
(my question: when looking at rural industries, how our understandings of the 20th china's economic dynamics change?)
"The countryside, by contrast, was the realm of farmers who produced food for the nation but could not or should not produce industrial goods to any significant degree. This view of an economy which distinct rural and urban sectors was inaccurate as a description of Chinese realities, but it was a powerful prescription for change. " 3
James Scott, "state simplification".-> in China, sector-making.
A model of rural people (5) "a culturally distinct and alien 'other', passive, helpless, unenlightened.."
The illusional link between a farmer and the land. (6)
?? "land in itself has value only insofar as it can be made to yield products, a process that requires skill."
“social life in the countryside is centrally concerned with the production and reproduction of economically useful skill, because economic activity is impossible without skill. ”
Skill and Organization:
Francois Sigaut: all social organization is at least partially about the production of skill.
How seeing skill reproduction as a central function alter our understanding of social organization?
Kinship: "Kinship and technical competence overlap so much."7
looking at skills "helps us to see patterns of social organization that remain hidden as long as we think of ritual people as land-based peasants."
Paper: Production of symbol of China's literary and bureaucratic culture.
Peasant as self-sufficient cells in China:
Rural people were differently integrated into the body politic (10): self-sufficient cells, removed from the web of mutual dependency and exchange of which they had been part.
"each individual peasant stood in the same unspecific relationship to the whole: unconnected to people outside the village community, he or she faced only in two directions, down to the soil and up to the state. (11)
Deskilling:
Harry Braverman: the inexorable "degradation of work" under capitalism.
critiques: 1. skill is constructed by powerful groups to exclude competitiors.
2. skill is constantly reproduced in the labor process.
Scottian: the dispossession of subaltern groups is the result of the pursuit of a modern vision of a world liberated from material want. 12
Focus of the book: a process of state-led skill expropriation began in 1920s.
*The nature of skill:
real or discursively constructed?
physically embodied or socially embedded? (14)
Two bodies of literature:
1) phenomenological philosophy (skill is central to the human condition)
2) cognitive science research. Scaffolding. 15
Skill is located at the interface between the person and his/her surroundings. 16
It is distributed across a field of relations.-> explain why the state never succeeded in transplanting Jiajiang papermaking skills to places outside. 16
Skill as a historical category:
"skill constitute a sort of meeting ground between big historical processes…and the concrete experience of everyday life." 17
Organization of the book:
Chapter1: papermaking technology, division of labor, the developmental cycle of household workshops, the transmission of the skills.
2: markets and intermediate organizations.
3: the position of papermaking in the late Qing and Republican China.
4,5: Shiyan village during land revolution and collectivization. ( a gradual deskilling of papermakers with the increasing state control)
6: Great LF and the subsequent famine.(black market trades)
7,8: post-Mao. Revival of the industry and technological revolution, struggles of the small household workshops.
9: reconnect the social tissue and to repair the structures.
The author's interests: 1.Production-related skills. (technical, social) 2. the skills of everyday life. Quotidian strategies.

这本书不应该归结为技术史，而是技艺史，或者更确切的说，是技艺的社会史。里面描写了近代乡土中国的另一面，那些没有成为农民的乡村人。我觉得用任何sts的概念或理论来分析这本书都是有些不恰当的。在这本书里，能见到历史研究里少见的小人物的故事和叙事的温情。我希望有生之年自己也可以写出这样一本书。
