中国印刷术的发明有两条线索。一条是佛教传播的需要,我们在专论之一已经述及。另一条始自民间坊刻,这是本篇论述的要点。在政府刻书、私人刻书和书坊刻书三大系统中,坊刻不仅兴起最早,分布最广,数量最多,而且影响最大。官刻和私刻就是在坊刻的基础上产生发展起来的。 The invention of Chinese printing has two clues. One is the need for the spread of Buddhism, as we have already covered in one of the monographs. The other is from the folk square carved, this is the point of this essay. Among the three systems engraved by the government, private engravings and book engravings by the government, Square Engraving is not only the earliest, the most widely distributed, the largest in number but the most influential. Official carving and private carving is developed on the basis of Square Engraved.
