Introduction of print technology was seen in China, Japan, and Korea. By the 17thCentury, as modern culture emerged in China, the uses of print diversified. Shanghai, in fact, became the hub of the new print culture.
This was about China, similarly, the same culture was adopted by the people of Japan. Through China, Japan got enlightened with this technology. Buddhist missionaries from China introduced hand-printing technology into Japan.
In the 11th century, Chinese paper reached Europe via silk route. In 1295, Marco Polo, a great explorer returned to Italy with complete knowledge of printing. Italians started printing books with woodblocks and soon technology reached to every part of Europe.
With this exports of books started and Europe begun to send books to many different countries. But due to fragile nature of manuscripts, it got very messy and awkward to handle. So in the 1430s, Johann Gutenberg invented new printing technology, creating the first known printing press at Strasbourg, Germany. The first book which Gutenberg printed was Bible in 1448.
The Print Revolution and its Impact
With time, a new culture emerged and access to books made people adopt the reading culture. But with this several debates were put forward related to the fear of the spread of rebellious and irreligious thoughts. In 1517, the religious reformer Martin Luther wrote ‘Ninety-Five Theses’ which criticized various practices of the Roman Catholic Church. This lead to Protestant Reformation.
Because of the reading culture, the literacy rate of the countries increased to 60-80%. Newspapers and Journals got fame and information were carried about wars and trade as well as news of developments in other places. This included French revolution too.
