#*: The printed book appeared in a variety of forms during the course of its history in China. These included, among others, the �whirlwind� binding (xuanfeng zhuang), sometimes called the �dragon scales� binding (longlin zhuang), to describe the overlapping sheets of paper within the book; the �fold� binding (zhezhuang), also known as the �folding sūtra� binding (jingzhe zhuang) or �Sanskrit� binding (fanjia zhuang), given its common use in the presentation of Buddhist texts; the �butter�y� binding (hudie zhuang), whose appellation derives from the effect of �uttering papers that accompanies the opening of the book; and the �thread� binding (xianzhuang), a technical designation that refers to the silken or cotton �laments used to stitch together folded sheets of paper into fascicles.
