Length: 15 cmBetween the

Kangxi (1662-1722) and Jiaqing (1795-1820) eras, two great engineers from Suzhou, a region renowned for its stonework, developed optical lens technology in China

.

The first one, Sun Yunqiu (1626-1661), favored the industry and the development of lenses made of semi-precious stones generating a very prosperous production and sale in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Tianjin, Guangzhou...
In 1735, a workshop dedicated to the manufacturing of these corrective lenses appeared in Suzhou
.
From the reign of Qianlong (1736-1795) and under Jiaqing, the engineer Chu Sanchan took over. He was responsible for the development of the technology of making spectacles, especially with temples. Originally, glasses were a symbol of high social status in China because the lenses were made of rock crystal, topaz or amethyst. These rare and expensive materials were not accessible to ordinary people who could not afford to wear glasses. However, they eventually became a common product and spread throughout China.
