Dongyuan Village, Ruian, Zhejiang Province, China - Close up of a master's hands carving small wooden characters to be used in a movable type press.

Chinese movable type has been used here for 800 years and continues today as families reprint their pedigree or family geneaologies using the same ancient Chinese printing technology created by Bi Sheng in the 11th century, hundreds of years before Johannes Gutenberg introduced movable type printing in Europe.
