Answer: I am talking about the time when movable type printing technology was introduced to China from the West, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. It's not about the time Gutenberg invented lead casting printing technology.
Movable type printing invented by Bi Sheng. The Northern Song Dynasty did not actually use it, but it was used in the Western Xia and produced a de facto movable type printed version.
Due to technical defects, such as the problem of layout homogeneity, the printing quality is much worse than that of engraving printing, and the handwriting is not clear. Therefore, there is no popular movable type printed version of the book in China.
Netizen: The inventor of movable type printing icon is Bi Sheng during the Song Dynasty on the mainland. Bi Sheng invented movable type printing in the eleventh century, but it was not widely used at first, at least in the Song Dynasty, the mainstream was engraving printing.
China's movable type printing technology was introduced to Europe from Xinjiang through Persian icon and Egypt. At the end of the fourteenth century, engravings began to be found in Europe. They initially printed portraits, and then they printed books in engraving, the same method of printing as in China.
Around 1450, Gutenberg in Germany was influenced by Chinese movable type printing and made movable type with pinyin characters made of alloys for printing books. Gutenberg used movable type printing, more than four hundred years after Bi Sheng used movable type printing
Teacher Maxima said that movable type printing was introduced to China from the West after the Qing Dynasty, which was a big mistake! Hope to correct.
