The author of movable type printing: The author of movable type printing is Bi Sheng. <\/strong><br \/>\nBi Sheng&#8217;s job is printing. He is a worker in a printing shop. While working, he summarized his previous printing experience. Movable type printing was finally invented during the Qingli period of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was later considered to be the world&#8217;s earliest movable type printing.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25141\" title=\"Who Invented Movable Type Printing?-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/d833c895d143ad4bfa250d873cfcdfa6a50f0671.png@f_auto.jpg\" alt=\"Who Invented Movable Type Printing?-1\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/d833c895d143ad4bfa250d873cfcdfa6a50f0671.png@f_auto.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/d833c895d143ad4bfa250d873cfcdfa6a50f0671.png@f_auto-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>2. The development of movable type printing<\/strong><br \/>\nIn ancient China, paper has replaced tortoise shells and bamboo slips, but the spread of culture requires a large number of books. From this, the earliest printing technology in China, engraving printing, appeared. With the advancement of the times, woodblock printing could no longer meet the needs of those students, so movable type printing was invented. Movable type printing is more convenient and faster than block printing.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25143\" title=\"Who Invented Movable Type Printing?-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/730e0cf3d7ca7bcb5ad66bf56af7ee6af424a847.png@f_auto.jpg\" alt=\"Who Invented Movable Type Printing?-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/730e0cf3d7ca7bcb5ad66bf56af7ee6af424a847.png@f_auto.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/730e0cf3d7ca7bcb5ad66bf56af7ee6af424a847.png@f_auto-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>3. The role of movable type printing<\/strong><br \/>\nThe main role of movable type printing is actually the spread of culture. In ancient China, the spread of culture relied on books on the one hand, and teaching on the other. However, books could not be popularized due to printing defects, so cultural communication promoted the invention of movable type printing. The invention of movable type printing accelerated the spread of culture and increased the popularization of cultural knowledge.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25142\" title=\"Who Invented Movable Type Printing?-3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/8b13632762d0f70344acb61ab504d4342497c5e6.png@f_auto.jpg\" alt=\"Who Invented Movable Type Printing?-3\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/8b13632762d0f70344acb61ab504d4342497c5e6.png@f_auto.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/8b13632762d0f70344acb61ab504d4342497c5e6.png@f_auto-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"37c28470d9d6d3cb9ff74e663adb766a\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3594734025006597\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movable type printing was invented by Bi Sheng in my country. 1.
