Jiangxi is known as the “Linchuan Talented Scholar Jinxi Book”, which reflects the ecological environment of Jiangxi Tiandi and Tianji. The international drama master Tang Xianzu is from Linchuan to the world. His "Linchuan Four Dreams" has become famous in the ages. It is this treasure land of Linchuan that gave birth to famous talents and led to the development of the printing industry.


Originated from a cultural town


Since the Ming Dynasty, Jinxi Liwan Town has become a distribution center for the printing of books, and a small street has been formed in this small town. Dozens of printed books have been full of joy and prosperity. Liwan Town is located in the west of Jinxi County, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, close to the north bank of Fuhe River. It is known as the important town of Jiangnan and was selected as the sixth batch of famous historical and cultural towns in China.


In the first year of Ming Chongzhen (1628), Shanggu Guxiang four opened the earliest bookstore in Liwan Town. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing, the printing and printing industry in Liwan Town entered its peak period. There are as many as 600 to 700 people, plus more than 1,000 people in printing and management. In this atmosphere, women are also vying to enter the ranks of lettering. At that time, the number of engravings was a symbol of wealth, and it became a dowry for the girl to marry. Many of the engraved editions were personally carved by the girls themselves, which was very meaningful and opposed the social and cultural phenomena of the time.


Developed in commercial operations


With the mature development of the book-printing book, the owner of the business-minded workshop went to Beijing, Nanjing, Jiangsu, and Changsha, Hunan to open a printing workshop. In the back-field of the Confucius Temple in Qinhuai River, Nanjing, Jiangsu, there is Jindong Book, Hunan. There are three book houses in Changsha, which have accelerated the development of the printing industry.


This printing culture was quickly spread to neighboring villages and towns. Jiangjia Village, Luohu Town, Linchuan County is a typical case. There are still more than 10 workshops that preserve the antique woodcut printing process. There are also more than 300 years of history of printing.

Master Jiang Zhixing is the director of a genealogy printing factory. He is the ninth generation of engraved prints. He has more than 30 years of experience in engraving and printing. From lettering to printing, he is well-versed. More than 40,000 woodcuts are made by him. The printing method has preserved the style of the ancestors. Like the Tsuen Wan Town, Jiangjia Village is a “living ancient printing culture museum” that cannot be copied and is rare.


Inheriting from all parties


In the face of these precious ancient printing cultural heritage, how to pass on and protect is an important issue in front of a new generation of Jiangxi printing people. If not well protected, these existing printed cultural heritages may become the "last supper" and should be taken seriously.

The government is a good person. In particular, the local government should introduce relevant protection policies and selectively protect printed cultural relics, sites, and entities. There is a problem here to make it clear. We advocate the protection of the printing culture and the representative industry. It is not to protect the backward production methods. Please do not misunderstand.

In this case, we must first clear the way of thinking, and then talk about the issue of protection and the issue of the application. After all, printing is one of the four major inventions in China. It has a history of more than 1,000 years and is a splendid cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. It should be well studied for this problem, and don't be an affirmation of staying verbally. But understand that without the invention of ancient printing, there is no modernization of printing today. It is the government's job to guide and help these workshops to survive and survive.


Ancient printing workshops must be self-disciplined. The ancient printing culture can be passed down to today, and the printing and descending people of the past generations have indeed contributed. As an entity, they must act in accordance with the rules of the game, obey the rules, operate legally, do something, do something, and do a good job of self-discipline. In order to promote the ancient printing culture, in addition to the government's attention and support, enterprises should also pragmatically face the market, find ways to survive and develop under the conditions of modern market economy, seek new living and development space, and make representative ancient printing cultural entities. The remains are completely preserved.


The application of the ancient printing culture entity is a good form of seeking protection. In the process of applying for the legacy, we must not only pay attention to the form, but also reshape the connotation and reflect the significance and value of the ancient printing culture. The purpose of our application is to affirm the contribution of ancient printing culture to humanity, and let our children and grandchildren learn the spirit of invention and creativity of our ancestors, and strive for the country to benefit and benefit the people. Through the application of the legacy, the ancient printing culture will be passed down from generation to generation.


To carry on the inheritance of ancient printing culture is a real undertaking, a process of learning history, and a pragmatic spirit.
