Test core:
Block printing: printing is one of the four great inventions in ancient China. The earliest printing technique was block printing, which was to reverse engrave pictures or characters on a flat board, and then print with ink. The earliest existing print is the fragmented volume of Vajra Sutra printed in 868, the ninth year of Emperor Yizong's reign in Xiantong, Tang Dynasty. It has a picture on the front of the volume and is beautifully engraved. It is now in the London Museum. The printing technique invented in the Tang Dynasty gradually spread all over the world and made great contributions to world culture.
