How is the engraving printed into words?

When printing a book, first dip the brush into the ink and brush it on the engraving. Then, cover the board with white paper and brush it gently on the back of the paper with a clean brush. Take off the paper and a page of the book will be printed. After page-by-page printing and binding, the book is a success. This printing method is lettering printing on wooden boards, so everyone calls it "block printing". The process of block printing is roughly as follows: after the manuscript is proofread, stick the printed side on the board and you can engrave. Sculptors use different types of carving knives to carve ink on wood blocks into raised orthography.

At the same time, remove the remaining blank part of the wood block to make it sag. The words engraved on the board protrude one or two millimeters from the layout. Rinse the carved board with hot water, wash off sawdust, etc. The shaping process is completed.

When printing, use a cylindrical flat-bottomed brush to dip ink evenly on the board surface, then carefully cover the paper on the board surface, and with a brush, you can print a positive image of words or pictures on the paper. Lift the paper from the printing board and dry it in the shade, and the printing process is completed.

The rigid process is a bit like the process of carving chapters, except that there are more words carved. The seal is printed on the top, and the paper is printed on the bottom, and the process of printing books is the opposite of the seal.

The printing process of block printing is a bit like rubbings, except that the words on the block are positive and negative, while the words on the general stone tablet are negative and positive. In addition, rubbing ink is coated on the paper and engraving ink is coated on the plate. It can be seen that block printing not only inherits the techniques of seal cutting, rubbing, printing and dyeing, but also innovates.
