Kayden · Answer 1

Answer: Movable type was invented in the 1040s by a commoner named Pi Sheng. Instead of carving a unique wood-block plate for each page in a book, he used movable Chinese characters that could be fastened on a plate, used for printing, removed, and fastened again in new spots on the plate to create a new text.
