Chapter 38 German Book Fair and our award-winning books

German Book Fair and our award-winning books German book art has always been famous in Europe, and has a glorious tradition, and It has a deep relationship with my country, because the printing technique invented by our country was gradually introduced to Europe from the Middle East. After Europe, Germany was the first to be accepted.The source of typography in Europe is Germany, the first to adopt Gothenburg, a German who used letterpress printing technology, was born in the fifteenth century, and was more advanced than our letterpress printing technology. Bi Sheng, a man of the Ming Dynasty, was not only nearly five hundred years late, but also had various reasons to prove that he was influenced by China

Influenced by the ancestors. The German book printing art with such a glorious tradition has always been the leader in Europe, so The International Book Fair held last year in Leipzig, the center of their publishing business, known as the City of Books Naturally, it is a big event in world cultural activities, and some of the new publications we sent to participate in, It is expected that the results of the selection can be so honored, but it also made us hear a lot. feel happy. Please pay attention to the statement I made above: the ones sent to the exhibition this time are our new publications in recent years.

of some books.I think if we send our Song Blackboard Script, the world's earliest surviving image prints of scriptures and mantras, to Exhibition, to participate as inventors of engraving and printing, allowing them to meet many countries in Europe In the era of nomadic grassroots creation, how high our culture has reached, I am afraid that those selected The committee members all had to avoid their seats to pay their respects, and did not dare to say anything indiscriminately. Therefore, these award-winning books in terms of binding, printing, typesetting and illustrations this time are nothing more than our artistic works.

It's just a small test of the artist's knife.In terms of the current speed of the development of the domestic publishing industry and the rapid development of industrial construction, The achievements of the past ten years have been like this. In another ten years, we, adhering to the glorious tradition of the inventor of printing, It is not difficult for another famous printing city and book city in the world to appear in China, which is more worthy of my attention. They are happy! These award-winning books, judging from the ones displayed at the exhibition this time, I think the rest

Some of the books that were not sent to participate in the book art achievement, some are not lower than them.by the most popular As far as the binding of the Chinese Currency History praised by others is concerned, although the material on the cover is Chinese, the decoration The decoration method is still foreign, using embossed plates and roughly the same patterns to form squares or circles to decorate. The method of decorating writing is actually a very common method of writing decoration.Again, I am concerned about the spine of this book I also have some opinions on the decoration. Instead of using the pattern of flower branches, why not still use the image of ancient Chinese currency, such as

Wouldn't it be more harmonious to use spring knives, spring fans, etc. to form the spine decoration. My joy with this group of award-winning books in Germany is not so much for their immediate Achievements, rather, for the greater and more glorious achievements I foresee in the future.
