15 pts! What’s the Chinese invention used for printing a ‘moveable type’? Like the textbook I’m using explains it super weirdly. Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)

Block printing- it was developed and used frequently.

Bi Sheng invented the first known movable type technology. It allowed the assembly of a page of text to be faster than whole-block printing. However, it was more expensive than whole-block printing, so it wasn’t very common.
