Question: How were books in China printed in its earlier days?
Answer: The earliest kind of print was done in China in 594 AD. The printing was done by pressing the inked woodblock on the paper, and as the paper of that time could not be printed on both sides so, the craftsmen did a peculiar thing; they folded the paper on one side and then printed on both the sides, these were the Accordion books. The printing was sponsored by the imperial state.
