On the Communist Party of China Using Wood Moving-type Printing to Carry out Press and Publication
During the New Democratic Revolution,the Communist Party's bases were mainly rural areas with backward transportation,weak economy and technology,and often under enemy blockade.There was a severe shortage of mechanized printing equipment and consumables in these areas,which posed serious challenges to propaganda and education.Fortunately,wooden movable-type printing was active and widely applied,due to the traditional practices of genealogy compling in the South.Because of its low cost,simple operation mode,and convenient transfer,the Communist government and troops used it to print revolutionary reading materials and leaflets.This phenomenon mainly appeared in Jiangxi,Hunan,Hubei and Anhui provinces during the Agrarian Revolution,and the publications were mostly literacy books.In addition,the Communist Party of China also carved wooden types to supplement the broken lead types.Wooden movable-type printing,which has been around for thousands of years,promoted local literacy and mobilization efforts,spreading the sparks of revolution to remote areas.
