This book examines the rise of the iron industry during the Warring States and Western Han periods (ca. 400 BCE- 9 CE) in ancient China, which is characterized not only by various technological innovations but also as a remarkable phenomenon, which led to the widespread distribution of iron implements and the emergence of massive ironworks.
