Abstract

This column is about China, although the nearest I have been to mainland China is Hong Kong. However, 1 have recently had some correspondence with Professor Tai-Huo Dong of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, and with his Ph.D. student Wen-Ying Jin, and I think we have much to learn from them. I should explain that many years ago Professor Dong was one of my students at Imperial College, London, where he obtained his M.S. degree in Applied Optics in 1939. Then after a long interlude we renewed our friendship and our correspondence when we met, two or three years ago, at a Color Vision Deficiencies Conference in Avignon. Quite recently Prafessor Dong was kind enough to send me a copy of a paper that he and Jin prepared for presentation at the AIC Congress in Buenos Aires in March. He has also sent me a revised version of the paper for publication in Die Farbe. Nothing remarkable about that, you may say. Yet the paper tells us about “The Discoveries of Elementary Color Science in Ancient Chinese Literature” and some of these discoveries go back to the 21st century B.C.
