They included books of Confucius' thoughts, dictionaries, and books on maths. In 1340, books could be printed u-sing two c　 60 , black and red.

A 61 the Chinese learnt about printing so early, printing was not introduced in other parts of the world for hundreds of years.

But printed books did not come to Europe u 64 1450 when a German called Johann Gutenberg i 65 a printing machine.
