"I told the grass people that they were inspired by seals and stone carvings, and they found the method of rubbing paper on stone tablets, so they thought of this printing."
Xu Shen said, "Right-handers found that covering a slightly wet paper with a soft mallet on the stone tablet made the paper sink into the concave of the stone tablet. When the paper was dry, they wrapped cotton and dipped it in ink. When the paper was lightly slapped on the paper, it would leave black white characters exactly the same as the stone tablet. This method is simpler and more reliable than handwritten."
Ran Min nodded slightly.
In fact, Ge Hong had reached Taoism in his book "Embracing Piao" when he was four inches square (135×135) and had a big wooden seal of 12 words.
This is already a small sculpture.
In order to make Buddhist scriptures more vivid, Buddhists often print Buddha statues on the frontispiece of Buddhist scriptures, which is much more convenient than hand-drawing
Brush and ink hair enable readers not only to read but also to write, without needing an engraver to wait on them at any time as in the era of knife and pen, and it is more convenient to record their thoughts.
In Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian soaked wool with lime to remove the water repellent substance on the surface of wool, which prompted the writing brush technology to finalize the writing brush before it really became a writing tool.
In addition, the ancients found a way to write fluently, saving time and effort, so that writing is no longer a chore. People in leisure classes will also write a few strokes to kill time in their spare time and try to write beautifully and compete with each other, thus creating a precedent for legal art.
Reese is the first great legalist in history. He is saying that pen and ink technology is mature.
The structure of Chinese characters is complex, and everyone writes differently, which makes people pursue the art of law.
The important way to improve law skills is to imitate good laws, but good writers are generally officials, and most of them are government documents, which are difficult for ordinary people to see.
In ancient times, it was popular to carve inscriptions on stone tablets. It was the best way for people to practice writing by finding good people to write the bottom text and then carving it by masons. Stone tablets were too heavy to take home and continue to imitate.
And this era is the era with the most legalists!
I wrote the preface to Lanting. Wang Xi is still alive!
"So wonderful, I will definitely promote this printing, but Xu Shen, I think there are still some shortcomings in your printing."
"Please enlighten me!"
"Tell me about the engraving and printing process first!"
Xu Shen then talked with Kan Kan.
The engraving and printing process is roughly as follows: after writing the manuscript sample, one side of the manuscript can be pasted on the board, so that the lettering can be engraved. Different forms of engraving knives can engrave the ink of the wood-inverted character into raised positive text, and at the same time, the remaining white part of the wood is removed to make the depression.
The words carved on the board face are about 12 mm from the protruding surface, and the rigid process such as washing the carved board with hot water and removing sawdust is completed.
When printing, the cylindrical flat-bottomed brush is dipped in ink and evenly brushed on the board surface, and then the paper is carefully covered on the board surface, and the positive image of words or pictures is printed by brushing the paper lightly.
The paper is lifted from the printing plate and dried in the shade, and the printing process is completed.
A printer can print 15 ~ 2 sheets a day, and a printing plate can be printed ten thousand times in succession.
The rigid process is a bit like the seal engraving process, but there are more lettering.
The printing process is opposite to the seal.
The seal is printed on paper.
The printing process of engraving and printing is a bit like rubbing, but the engraving is a reverse word in Yang, while the general inscription is a orthographic word in Yin.
In addition, rubbing ink is applied to paper carving printing ink.
Ran Min listened carefully until Xu Shen finished his service road. "Xu Shen, you can print hundreds or even thousands of copies of this engraving and printing. This is a good thing, but the defects are not small. When it is rigid, it often takes several years to release the film, which takes up a lot of space and is often damaged by deformation, moth-eaten and corrosion."
"A small print run becomes a waste without reprinting the film. In addition, it is difficult to change the typo when carving, and it is often necessary to carve the whole piece again!"
"This … this is inevitable!"
"No, this can be avoided!"
