  3. What • The printer was a major success in Chinese history • It reinvented making books forever • The first kind could only be used once, and one mistake in carving could ruin a whole block • Then it was revised into many different blocks, all carved with one character each.

  6. Why • Because the Chinese had paper, they needed something faster than copying by hand to get the job done. • The revised version was to make it easier to print letters and books

  7. How • The Chinese used it to issue royal proclamations, books, and letters • The printer has evolved from using many different blocks to being able to print from a computer. Although, the printer was used in Revolutionary times to circulate papers that were against the British. • The printer was made because these things happened: • The Chinese needed a more efficient way to make letters and books • They started out using whole blocks of wood, but that was a waste of wood • They made hand stamps out of clay to stop wasting so much wood.
