Abstract

Chinese woodblock printing art, as an ancient art form, carries the long history and profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. From the emergence of woodblock printing technology in the Tang Dynasty, to the prosperity of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and then to the diversified development of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, woodblock printing not only witnessed the changes in Chinese society, but also reflected the aesthetic tastes and spiritual pursuits of people in different historical periods. Since modern times, woodblock prints have continuously integrated new artistic concepts and techniques while inheriting tradition, showcasing a unique style of the times. However, in the era of globalization and modernization, this traditional art form faces challenges in inheritance and innovation.
