He also has a close connection with ‘The Method’ of wooden movable-type. The model and arrangement of the wooden movable-type are only used in two wooden boxes. With the wooden movable-type, workers can only arrange a limited number of characters. The characters can be arranged in different forms. After a few years, wooden movable-type was used for printing. Later, wood movable-type was replaced by metal movable-type. But, from the beginning, wooden movable-type is the most suitable for printing, being more durable and more convenient to use.
