Development of printmaking technology

China's long history and civilization have given birth to many excellent artistic types, providing rich technical experience for printmaking. For example, rock paintings in prehistoric times were carved with knives and axes to represent large-scale scenes, which was the earliest carving activity on the plane media with hard tools. At the same time, there are various artistic activities on other materials, such as carving on animal bones and printing texture effects on pottery. These artistic treatments are similar to printmaking. Oracle Bone Inscriptions art in the pre-Qin period, bronze art and portrait brick art in the Han Dynasty are all artistic activities of recording characters and images with tortoise shell and beast bones, bronze wares and stone bricks as the media, which really played an important role in engraving technology. The long-term development of seal cutting technology has laid the foundation of printmaking in rubbing technology and solved the problems of reverse engraving and reverse printing, thus promoting the improvement of the overall process of printmaking and making the initial formation of printmaking art possible. These kinds of art not only laid a technical accumulation for the formation of printmaking, but also had a far-reaching impact on art forms.

By the Tang Dynasty, the high maturity of papermaking technology and ink making technology laid a material foundation for the production of printmaking, and the carving technology and rubbing technology had also developed to a certain height. In addition, the speed of cultural communication in the Tang Dynasty is increasing day by day, and the Buddhist thought is unprecedentedly prosperous, which makes the engraving printing technology come into being, and the engraving printing of Buddhist scriptures comes into being with engraving printing. Woodblock prints in the Tang Dynasty basically appeared in the form of scroll illustrations, which reached a high level in both the characterization of characters, the performance of scene composition and the application of line techniques. Among the existing prints, the earliest published work in the world is the title page illustration of King Kong Prajna Paramita Multi-warp Axis published by Tang Xiantong in nine years. From the perspective of painting techniques, this work has rich but smooth lines, even and appropriate pen and ink, and expressive characters. From the artistic aesthetic point of view, the composition is full, dense, vivid characters, beautiful shapes and vivid expressions. From this, we can see the artistic style containing local elements of the Central Plains and the aesthetic characteristics of China culture.

The woodcut prints in the Five Dynasties period were still dominated by Buddhist themes, which basically inherited the style characteristics of Buddhist scripture prints in the Tang Dynasty and got further development. For example, the unique woodcut Buddhist painting "A Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes" in the Five Dynasties has a delicate and complicated composition without losing its rules. A large part of the content in the picture has been missing and unrecognizable because of its age, but we can appreciate its uniqueness in screen design from other parts. From the smooth and exquisite lines to the decorative effect of composition and layout, the whole painting creates a dignified and ethereal auspicious atmosphere, and the black background sets off the main bodhisattva statue and radiant visual effects, giving people a bright and transparent sense of the glass world, as if they could hear the majestic Buddhist sound, from which they can see their exquisite artistic attainments.
