When did the traditional handicraft industry in China decline?

The decline of traditional handicrafts in China occurred in the late Qing Dynasty, especially after the Opium War. Some handicraft departments directly faced imported foreign goods and declined under the impact of foreign goods. In addition, some handicrafts with local characteristics, which emerged by using unique natural conditions, gradually declined due to changes in natural conditions. At the same time, the official handicraft industry also declined, which was embodied in the official silk weaving institutions, the arms handicraft industry and the traditional money-making industry in the south of the Yangtze River, all of which were destroyed by the peasant war in the 1950s and 1960s.
