Printing Technology's External Communication

China is an invention of printing technology. Many countries' printing technologies have been introduced into China or developed because of China's influence. Japan was the first country to develop printing technology after China. In the 8th century, Japan could use the engraving and printing of Buddhist scriptures. North Korea's engraving and printing technology was also introduced by China. It began printing the scriptures in Muzong’s time (998~1009). China's lithographic printing technology was transmitted to Persia through Central Asia and was passed from Persia to Egypt in the 14th century. Persia has actually become a transit point for Chinese printing technology in the West. At the end of the 14th century, only European papers, icons, and Latin textbooks used by students were printed in wood. China's wooden type technology was introduced to North Korea and Japan in the 14th century. The Korean people created copper type on the basis of wooden type.

China's movable type printing technology was introduced into Europe by Xinjiang through Persia and Egypt. Around 1450, Germany's Gutenberg was affected by Chinese movable type printing. It used metal to produce phonetic characters and used to print books.

The spread of printing technology to Europe has accelerated the process of European social development. It has provided conditions for the emergence of the Renaissance. Marx called the inventions of printing, gunpowder, and compass “a prerequisite for the development of the bourgeoisie.” The printing technology invented by the Chinese provided the necessary prerequisite for the establishment of a modern society.
