How did the history of Songxi printmaking come about? The origin of Chinese printmaking can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Six Dynasties, and even Sui Dynasty. The earliest existing printmaking in China, with one engraved with the year and month, is the world-renowned "Xiantong" edition of the "Diamond Prajnaparamita Sutra" volume header image, according to the inscription, made in 868 AD. The "Zhide" print unearthed from the Tang tomb in Chengdu, Sichuan is estimated to be about a hundred years earlier than the "Xiantong" print. Prints from the Tang and Five Dynasties periods have been discovered in northwest China, as well as in Wu and Yue provinces. Most of the works are quaint and handsome, and the playing of swords is divine. These are the origins of printmaking.
