Sichuan Bristle Development in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China

四川猪鬃产业发展始于19世纪末期。1891年,英商立德乐入川创办第一家猪鬃加工厂,开启了四川猪鬃开发的历史。外国洋行对四川猪鬃的最初开发先后经历了英商立德乐、英商隆茂、日商新利等时期。洋行对四川猪鬃业的开发,使四川猪鬃业从无到有;猪鬃外贸的迅速发展,使其成为四川对外贸易的重要商品。

Sichuan bristle development began in the late 19th century. In 1891, the British tradesman Leadery founded the first bris- tle processing plant in Sichuan, marking the beginning of the Sichuan bristle development. The initial Sichuan bristle industry was suc- cessively controlled by the British Leadery Firm, the British Longmao Firm, and the Japanese Xinli Finn. Foreign firms introduced the bristle industry in Sichuan and bristle became one important foreign trade commodity with its rapid development.
