Kaogongji
The Kaogongji, Kaogong Ji, or Kao Gong Ji, variously translated as The Record of Trades, Records of Examination of Craftsman, Book of Diverse Crafts, and The Artificers' Record, is an ancient Chinese work on science and technology in China. It was compiled sometime during the 5th, 4th, or 3rd century BCE and then included as a section of the Rites of Zhou under the Han as a replacement for the lost text concerning the Offices of Winter concerning public works.
