SUMMARY:Movable-type Printing Activities in the Ming Dnasty and Publications Produced Using Movable Type
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhaohui He | 何朝晖\, Professor\, Institute for 
 Classical Philology\, Advanced Institute for Confucian Studies\, Shandong 
 University\n\nMovable-type printing flourished during the Ming dynasty. 
 This prosperity was reflected in its wide geographic distribution\, the 
 large number of institutions and groups engaged in movable-type printing\, 
 and the broad range of works produced\, covering the classics\, histories\, 
 philosophical writings\, and literary collections. A considerable number of 
 such editions survive today\, including both wood movable-type and metal 
 movable-type prints. Beginning with the social background of the Ming 
 dynasty\, this lecture analyzes the reasons behind the flourishing of 
 movable-type printing. It outlines the development of movable-type printing 
 during the Ming period and examines its position in the history of Chinese 
 printing. Drawing on specific examples and physical editions\, the lecture 
 further explores the distinctive features of Ming movable-type printing\, 
 its relationship with woodblock printing\, its role within the publishing 
 industry\, and its impact on the social and cultural life of the Ming 
 dynasty.\n\nThis program will be delivered in Chinese with live 
 simultaneous English interpretation  provided by Yu Xuan Tay\, Ph.D. 
 student of Buddhist Studies at UCLA.\n\nClick the More Details button to
