Bibliography and Publishing are two important topics in the history of Modern Chinese Buddhism. New material and social technologies allowed Buddhists to produce texts in much greater numbers than before. The content of the texts was also geared to the modern age, with introductory textbooks, commentaries, and treaties on Buddhism produced on a massive scale.
Consult the Print bibliography for research resources on Modern Chinese Buddhism.

Publishing Technologies
Those used in printing Buddhist publications are included here
Xylography 調版印刷
Also known as woodblock 木板 or woodcut printing. Flat wooden blocks are carved with the text or images in reverse relief, the block is inked, paper pressed to its surface and the back of the page rubbed to make the imprint. About 15,000 copies could be printed from one set of blocks before it needed to be repaired, after which another 10,000 copies were possible. Up to 30,000 copies could be possible off of one block if the printing was a low quality.[5] Use of woodblock printing dates back to the 8th century, with the earliest dated printed book being the Diamond Sutra scroll from Dunhuang in the British Library, which dates to 868 CE.
Lithography 平版印刷
- Stone-based 石印
- Stone-based or zinc-plate 照相石印
- Chromolithography 彩色石印
- Offset lithography 橡皮版; 膠版
Uses a plate, ink and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) medium. Can reproduce calligraphy and painted images.
Letterpress 凸版印刷
- Lead-type 鉛印
- Movable type 字模; 活字
- Typeset in lead type 鉛字排印
Individual characters are cast as pieces of type and arranged into a forme. The type is inked and paper is pressed against it to print. Produces a very even and standard layout, but there are restrictions regarding the variety of fonts, rare or alternate characters, and textual layout.
