π From ancient woodblock printing to modern digital printing, the evolution of printing technology has witnessed the progress of human civilization. The woodblock printing invented in ancient China opened a new era of information dissemination, and Bi Sheng's movable type printing provided the possibility for the widespread spread of knowledge.
π The spread of printing technology to the West injected vitality into the European Renaissance and promoted tremendous social change. Marx once pointed out that the three great inventions, including printing, were the necessary prerequisites for the development of the bourgeoisie.
π In the 20th century, printing technology underwent revolutionary development. In 1974, Professor Wang Xuan's team from Peking University developed the "Huaguang Laser Phototypesetting System," which bid farewell to lead typesetting for Chinese characters. This was an important milestone in the modernization of China's publishing and printing industry.
π The emergence of color desktop publishing systems in the 1990s marked the comprehensive application of computer technology in the printing field, bringing new opportunities for development to the printing industry.
π The invention of printing is not only a source of pride for the Chinese nation but also a brilliant chapter in the history of human civilization. Let's celebrate this great invention together; it provided the necessary prerequisites for the establishment of modern society. #Printing #CivilizationProgress #TechnologicalInnovation
