Abstract

The development path of the looms is a key to study on the looms in ancient China. Based on the studies on historical materials and archeological findings of the looms in ancient China, we found that there were two paths in the development process of the looms in ancient China. Before the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220), plain weave and figure-weave fabrics were produced on similar looms. But after the Han Dynasty, the two kinds of looms evolved into all kinds of the treadle loom, the multi-heald and multi-treadle loom and the draw loom.
