Li (Jie (1065-1110)). Li Mingzhong Yingzao Fashi (Building Standards), 8 volumes, [Shanghai?, 1925], Chinese text lithographed on doubled leaves, frequent rubrication, numerous diagrams and figural illustrations in volumes 5-8, many of those in volumes 7-8 printed in colour, stab-stitched in original printed buff wrappers, stitching loose in places but bindings firm, small water-stains to wrappers of volumes 1, 7 and 8, original blue cloth portfolio, bone fasteners, printed label to front panel (with faint mark), pale mottling on rear panel, folio (34 x 23.5 cm) Literature: Jiren Feng, Chinese Architecture and Metaphor: Song Culture in the Yingzao Fashi Building Manual (Hong Kong, 2012); Li Shiqiao, 'Reconstituting Chinese Building Tradition: The Yingzao fashi in the Early Twentieth Century', in Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Vol. 62, No. 4 (December 2003), pages 470-489. 'The [Yingzao Fashi] was written by the imperial official in the Directorate of Construction Li Jie (1035?-1110, courtesy name Mingzhong) as a handbook for government standards for building methods, materials, and manpower. Not only the earliest but also the most comprehensive Chinese treatise on architectural technology to survive in its entirety, the YZFS is the most important primary text for the study of ancient Chinese architecture' (Feng, page 2). Li's text first appeared in 1103 and was rediscovered in 1919 by scholar Zhu Qiqian (1872-1962), who unearthed an imperfect, later transcription of a Song-dynasty reprint in Jiangnan library. He published a photolithographic edition in a reduced format the same year, but in his preface indicated several improvements required for a new edition, for which he had the illustrations entirely redrawn, commissioned a suite of new drawings from the master builder of the imperial palaces in Beijing, and had the painted decorations in chapters 33 and 34 printed in a lavish array of colours. 'The new edition of the Yingzao Fashi published in 1925 was exquisite. Bound into eight volumes with silk thread binding, it exemplifies the scholarly tradition of restoring classics, with its erudite preface and postscripts, demonstration of philological scholarship, completeness of chapters, sections, texts, and drawings, and imitation of the Song-dynasty calligraphy and printing style' (Li, page 477).
