Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Chinese invention of paper and the advent of woodblock printing produced the world''s first print culture. As the print scholar A. Hyatt Mayor noted, it was the Chinese who really discovered the means of communication that was to dominate until our age.Woodblock printing was better suited to Chinese characters than movable type, which the Chinese also invented, but which did not replace woodblock printing. In China and Korea, the use of woodblock printing on paper and movable type preceded their use in Europe by several centuries. Both methods were replaced in the second half of the 19th century by Western-style printing. Traditionally, there have been two main printing techniques in Asia, those of woodblock printing and moveable type printing. In the woodblock technique, ink is applied to letters carved upon a wooden board, which is then pressed onto paper. "
