Five processes of printing development: the development order of printing.

Five processes of printing development: 1, bronze seal in the Warring States period. 2. In Jin Dynasty, woodcut was used to record deeds on a large scale. 3. In order to make Buddhist scriptures more vivid, Buddhists print Buddha statues on the front of Buddhist scriptures. 4.

Printing is one of the four great inventions in ancient China. It began with engraving printing in the Sui Dynasty, developed and perfected by Bi Sheng in Song Renzong, resulting in movable type printing, which was spread to Europe by Mongols. Bi Sheng was also called the ancestor of printing by later generations. China's printing is the pioneer of modern human civilization, which has created conditions for the wide spread and exchange of knowledge. Printing first spread to Korea, Japan, Central Asia, West Asia and Europe.

Seal cutting, rubbing, printing and dyeing technologies are mutually inspired and blended, and with the experience and wisdom of our people, block printing technology came into being. Before the invention of printing, the spread of culture mainly depended on handwritten books. Handwriting is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to make mistakes and omissions. It not only hinders the development of culture, but also brings undue losses to the spread of culture. Seals and stone carvings provide direct experience enlightenment for printing, and the method of inking stone tablets with paper directly points out the direction for block printing.

The development of printing in China has gone through two stages: block printing and movable type printing, which has presented a generous gift for the development of mankind. Printing is characterized by convenience and flexibility, saving time and effort. This is a major breakthrough in ancient printing.
