Woodblock Printing

Printing was invented in China around AD 700, creating the longest history of printing in the world. Prints were used in China in different cultural contexts and played an important role in Chinese civilisation. Recognised by China and UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, a single traditional wood block printing, such as a landscape or a religious scene, can take years to develop. Mr Jiangmin Li, a third-generation print maker and a nationally-recognised master artist, has been practicing his Woodblock Printing art for more than forty years.

雕版印刷是最早在中国出现的印刷形式，对文化传承作出了难以估量的贡献。

雕版印刷大师李江民家族四代从事雕版印刷事业，李江民由当初的学徒，到今天作为联合国教科文组织非物遗项目雕版印刷技艺的省级代表性传承人，四十余年潜心雕版印刷技艺的创造和传承。他以印代绘，在机械复制时代坚持手工刷印灵韵的文字和图案，一切只为了传承和弘扬这门中国四大发明之一的国粹，让它的光芒持久绽放。
