Invention of Printing Pages



After ancient china became unified with their characters many people began to write stories and old myths that they wanted to be passed down from generation to generation and wanted it written to be read over and over again.  These stories and writings took a very long time to write up and when they were to be copied it took even longer because you had to make sure all the words and things are correct or the story would no longer make since. 

Also any records that needed to be copied were long and needed to be extremely accurate.  The way that they made all the characters correct were with what the Chinese called printing and what we would callusing stamps to write.  This process was also long but it was a lot faster than rewriting all the characters.
