Description: One of the world's oldest printing techniques, wooden movable-type printing is maintained in Rui'an County, Zhejiang Province, where it is used in compiling and printing clan genealogies. Men are trained to draw and engrave Chinese characters, which are then set into a type-page and printed. This requires abundant historical knowledge and mastery of ancient Chinese grammar. Women then undertake the work of paper cutting and binding, until the printed genealogies are finished. The movable characters can be used time and again after the type-page is dismantled. Throughout the year, craftspeople carry sets of wooden characters and printing equipment to ancestral halls in local communities. There, they compile and print the clan genealogy by hand. A ceremony marks the completion of the genealogy, and the printers place it into a locked box to be preserved. The techniques of wooden movable-type printing are transmitted through families by rote and word of mouth. However, the intensive training required, the low income generated, popularization of computer printing technology and diminishing enthusiasm for compiling genealogies have all contributed to a rapid decrease in the number of craftspeople. At present, only eleven people over 50 years of age remain who have mastered the whole set of techniques. If not safeguarded, this traditional practice will soon disappear.

Movable Type Printing
Block Printing was a costly and time-consuming process, for each carved block could only be used for a specific page of a particular book, besides, a single mistake in carving could ruin the whole block. However movable type changed all of that.
In the Song Dynasty （960-1279）, a man named Bi Sheng carved individual characters on identical pieces of fine clay. Each piece of movable type had on it one Chinese character which was carved in relief on a small block of moistened clay. After the block had been hardened by fire, the type became hard and durable and could be used wherever required. The pieces of movable type could be glued to an iron plate and easily detached from the plate. Each piece of character could be assembled to print a page and then broken up and redistributed as needed. When the printing was finished, the pieces were put away for future use.
By the year1000, paged books in the modern style had replaced scrolls. Two color printing （black and red） was seen as early as 1340.
This technology then spread to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Europe. Later, German Johann Gutenberg invented movable type made of metal in the 1440s. Movable Type Printing developed very fast. Based on clay type, type made of wood, lead, tin and copper gradually appeared.

The Printing Press that Revolutionized the World: Gutenberg and His Movable Type
Though printing was in use long before goldsmith Johann Gutenberg's time—especially with the Chinese—Gutenberg made it available to the public through his movable type press. Although the press has no surviving blueprints, it is known that his machine was similar to the olive and wine presses—a wooden device based on a moving screw at the center, through which the operator could apply pressure to the object being manufactured. Gutenberg and his assistants would lay out the movable type, letter by letter, until it formed the page they desired to print. This type was housed in a wooden box, and was moistened with an oil-based ink. When the paper was laid on top of the type, and pressed with the wooden screw device, one page was printed. Although it still took a very long time to print each page, the process was faster than the hand-lettered books of the day, and still preserved the beautiful handwork of the scribes. Gutenberg's invention of the printing press also helped to spread the fires of the Protestant Reformation, as Bibles, books, and other written works were spread to the public and other printing firms began to be established. The Bible—the first item printed on his press—was the 42-line Latin Bible, a beautiful copy of the Scriptures and a monument to both printing and the Word of God.

Movable type is the system of printing and typography that uses movable components to reproduce the elements of a document (usually individual letters or punctuation).
The world's first known movable-type system for printing was created in China around 1040 A.D. by Pi Sheng (990–1051) during the Song Dynasty; following that, the first metal movable-type system for printing was made in Korea during the Goryeo Dynasty (around 1230). This led to the printing of the Jikji in 1377—today the oldest extant movable metal print book. The diffusion of both movable-type systems was, however, limited: They were expensive, and required an enormous amount of labour involved in manipulating the thousands of ceramic tablets, or in the case of Korea, metal tablets required for scripts based on the Chinese writing system, which have thousands of characters.
Around 1450, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and independently developed a movable type system in Europe, along with innovations in casting the type based on a matrix and hand mould. The more limited number of characters needed for European languages was an important factor. Gutenberg was the first to create his type pieces from an alloy of lead, tin, and antimony—the same components still used today.

Movable Type Printing
Block Printing was a costly and time-consuming process, for each carved block could only be used for a specific page of a particular book, besides, a single mistake in carving could ruin the whole block. However movable type changed all of that.
In the Song Dynasty （960-1279）, a man named Bi Sheng carved individual characters on identical pieces of fine clay. Each piece of movable type had on it one Chinese character which was carved in relief on a small block of moistened clay. After the block had been hardened by fire, the type became hard and durable and could be used wherever required. The pieces of movable type could be glued to an iron plate and easily detached from the plate. Each piece of character could be assembled to print a page and then broken up and redistributed as needed. When the printing was finished, the pieces were put away for future use.
By the year1000, paged books in the modern style had replaced scrolls. Two color printing （black and red） was seen as early as 1340.
This technology then spread to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Europe. Later, German Johann Gutenberg invented movable type made of metal in the 1440s. Movable Type Printing developed very fast. Based on clay type, type made of wood, lead, tin and copper gradually appeared.

The Printing Press that Revolutionized the World: Gutenberg and His Movable Type
Though printing was in use long before goldsmith Johann Gutenberg's time—especially with the Chinese—Gutenberg made it available to the public through his movable type press. Although the press has no surviving blueprints, it is known that his machine was similar to the olive and wine presses—a wooden device based on a moving screw at the center, through which the operator could apply pressure to the object being manufactured. Gutenberg and his assistants would lay out the movable type, letter by letter, until it formed the page they desired to print. This type was housed in a wooden box, and was moistened with an oil-based ink. When the paper was laid on top of the type, and pressed with the wooden screw device, one page was printed. Although it still took a very long time to print each page, the process was faster than the hand-lettered books of the day, and still preserved the beautiful handwork of the scribes. Gutenberg's invention of the printing press also helped to spread the fires of the Protestant Reformation, as Bibles, books, and other written works were spread to the public and other printing firms began to be established. The Bible—the first item printed on his press—was the 42-line Latin Bible, a beautiful copy of the Scriptures and a monument to both printing and the Word of God.

The Printing Press that Revolutionized the World: Gutenberg and His Movable Type
Though printing was in use long before goldsmith Johann Gutenberg's time—especially with the Chinese—Gutenberg made it available to the public through his movable type press. Although the press has no surviving blueprints, it is known that his machine was similar to the olive and wine presses—a wooden device based on a moving screw at the center, through which the operator could apply pressure to the object being manufactured. Gutenberg and his assistants would lay out the movable type, letter by letter, until it formed the page they desired to print. This type was housed in a wooden box, and was moistened with an oil-based ink. When the paper was laid on top of the type, and pressed with the wooden screw device, one page was printed. Although it still took a very long time to print each page, the process was faster than the hand-lettered books of the day, and still preserved the beautiful handwork of the scribes. Gutenberg's invention of the printing press also helped to spread the fires of the Protestant Reformation, as Bibles, books, and other written works were spread to the public and other printing firms began to be established. The Bible—the first item printed on his press—was the 42-line Latin Bible, a beautiful copy of the Scriptures and a monument to both printing and the Word of God.
