Letters baked to order
However, Chinese printing was a slow process. Because each written word
in Chinese consists of an individual character or symbol, rather than a series of
letters corresponding to sound, printers needed thousands of letters. An early form
of movable type, invented in
c.AD 1040 by Bi Sheng, solved the problem. Baked
clay was used to create a bank of the most common characters, and additional
characters were fashioned and baked when they were needed. The characters were
assembled in wooden frame for printing. It was, none the less, a cumbersome
process, and the crude print failed to reach the standards of traditional calligraphy.
