nd south Jiangsu ; 5th chap. Development of cotton textile handicraft in Zhejiang ; Supplemental sect. 2. Decline of cotton textile handicraft and the rise of new handicrafts.
This research leads to the following conclusion. Regional differences in ecological damage and responses to improved breeds in the 1930s reflected the differences in the structure of each region's rural economy. Ecological damage was more serious in the rural distincts that had developed commercial farming. Peasant opposition to improved breeds was great in the case of the silk and cotton industries which, unlike rice and wheat production, were characterized by distinct divisions in the process of production. On the other hand, the advanced pattern of production present in the case of cotton textile handicraft in eastern-central China during the first half of the 20th century was not born of the rural economies of the most developed districts. Rather, this pattern of production arose from the formation of a multitude of production patterns following from development in each economically-variegated region and the consequent regional division of production.
In this manner, shedding light upon the rural economic structure is very important to understanding the changing condition of the rural economy in modern China. Less
