The invention of printing is a glorious chapter in the history of human civilization, and the great glory to establish this great achievement belongs to the Chinese nation.

The large-scale production of printed books has increased the chances of the retention of books, and has reduced the possibility of extinction of handwritten books due to limited collections. Due to the widespread dissemination of printed copies and the increase in the number of readers, the monopoly of the church in the past has been challenged by secular people. The priority of religious writings has gradually replaced human readers’ works with the production readers’ understanding of the historical differences and contradictions in ancient books, thus weakening the confidence in traditional expressions and establishing the development of new knowledge. basis.

Printing makes the version uniform. This is indistinguishable from the unavoidable fallacies of manuscripts. Printing itself cannot guarantee the correctness of the text, but the proofreading before printing and the corrigenda after printing make the printed copy more perfect. Pre-editing by printers has made the forms of books more and more uniform, instead of being like the former copywriters. All these make the reader develop a systematic method of thinking and promote the formation of a variety of organizational structures in different disciplines.

The successors of the printing press have spread the idea of ​​European religious reform. Martin Luther called print as "the supreme gift of God, which made the gospel more prosaic." Before Martin Luther presented his protest in 1517, people had used some national languages ​​to print the Bible, and the conditions for religious reforms had matured. The truth of the gospel is no longer exclusive to a few people, but can be learned and understood by ordinary people. At the same time, religious beliefs have been modified due to different countries. The Roman Church can no longer maintain an internationally uniform form. The original motive of the Protestant movement was to correct the church's malpractices, especially the sale of the redemption voucher. Since the printing application was applied to a large number of printed foreclosure voucher, the sale of the redemption voucher became a means of profit-seeking. At the same time, Protestants also used printed pamphlets, leaflets, and placards to widely disseminate their ideas and ideas. Without printing, Protestant claims may be confined to certain regions and not to an international one. The important movement will always end the priest’s monopoly on academics, overcome ignorance and superstition, and thus prompt the Western European society to leave the “dark age” as soon as possible.

Before the advent of printing, although ethnic literature existed, printing had a profound impact on the development of ethnic literature. The spoken English of various ethnic groups in Western Europe had developed into writing before the sixteenth century, and the century had gradually evolved into a modern form, and at the same time some medieval writings had disappeared in the process. The Latin language, which once became an international language, is also declining and finally becomes a dead language. Emerging nation-states strongly support the unity of ethnic languages. At the same time, the authors are looking for the best form to express their ideas; publishers are also encouraging them to use ethnic languages ​​to expand the reader market. As publishing books in national languages ​​is becoming easier, printing has made the vocabulary, grammar, structure, spelling, and punctuation of various language publications increasingly uniform. After the publication of fiction was widely distributed, the status of popular language was consolidated, and these universal languages ​​promoted the development of literature and culture of various nationalities, and ultimately led to the establishment of a clear national consciousness and the emergence of nationalism.

Printing promotes the popularization of education and the promotion of knowledge. The cheap prices of books make more people obtain knowledge, thus affecting their outlook on life and world outlook. Popularization of books will increase people’s literacy rates, which in turn will increase the demand for books. In addition, handicraftspeople have found that prints of this type can be used for fame and fortune in the early printing of manuals and advertisements. This has improved their reading and writing skills. The illustration shows that printing has helped some people of low birth to improve their social status. As in the early German church reforms, there were priests and priests from the shoemaker and blacksmith’s family. This fully shows that printing can provide opportunities for poor people to improve their social situation.
