Now the Daoist unconcern with sight would change, and so would their favorable attitude towards lack of intricate detail in painting (although those with good eyesight often favored intricate details in their painting). Refer to page 57 of Timothy Brook's book The Confusions of Pleasure: Culture and Commerce in Ming China. However, the historian Kaiming Chiu argues in his The Introduction of Spectacles Into China that spectacles were introduced into China as far back as the late 13th century.
