近百年来,国内外的学术界均认为17世纪初的德国是报刊印刷的起源地。这个结论值得再商榷。南宋时候,杭州的印刷术在世界上也处于领先地位,其雕版印刷、活字印刷技术,从理论上讲对印刷报纸不存在问题。事实上,早在11世纪的北宋,中国已经有雕版印刷“小报”的纪录了。12世纪的南宋,印刷术更加成熟和先进,新闻活动更加活跃和复杂,无论“小报”还是“朝报”的印刷,都不成问题。 For nearly a century, academics both at home and abroad have considered that the early 17th century Germany was the birthplace of press printing. This conclusion is worth discussing. When the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou, printing in the world is also in a leading position, its version of the printing, type printing technology, in theory, there is no problem printing newspapers. In fact, as far back as the Northern Song Dynasty of the 11th century, there was already a record of engraving printing “tabloid” in China. In the 12th century, the Southern Song Dynasty was more mature and advanced in typography. The news activities were more active and complex. Both the “tabloids” and the “newspapers” did not pose a problem.
