摘要
《钦定武英殿聚珍版程式》是我国古代官方颁布的木活字印刷标准,涉及木活字的材料、加工、质量、管理、制版,以及字体、版式、印刷流程、活字流转使用等内容。该标准是清朝《武英殿聚珍版丛书》大型出版实践的总结,其木活字排版技术与现代印刷排版技术一致,极大地推动了木活字印刷技术在地方和民间的推广以及宋体字的普及。该标准基于水溶性印墨的汉字文化传统和技术条件,由于缺乏金属活字制模、印墨、印刷机械等领域的技术创新,导致了我国古代活字印刷术的衰亡。
The printing standards of movable wood type in Qing Dynasty, published in 1777, was the first official standard of printing, played an important role for the wide application of movable wood type printing and the widespread of Song Style Chinese character which is still adopted at present-day. The selection and treatment of wooden material, the development and quality control of wood blocks, casting procedure as well as character style, printing plate had been systematically standardized. The printing procedure from individual movable type characters arranged in sequence is exact the same as the way of present-day printing. The standards was based on water-soluble ink technology, was suitable to the Chinese cultural characteristics. Lacking of the innovation on metal module type, oil-based ink and printing machinery was the main reason for the abandon of movable type printing in the Chinese history.
