* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Printing has played an unparalleled key role in the transmission of culture and the advancement of human civilization. The woodblock printing technology of China during the Sui and Tang periods ignited an innovation in book replication and dissemination, facilitating an enhancement in cultural production capacity and the transmission of culture. During the Song dynasty, advancements in printing technology, whether directly or indirectly, influenced global culture dissemination and the progress of civilization during its overseas transmission, marking a brilliant period in the history of ancient Chinese book publishing and distribution.
