摘要

本文通过对考古发现的雕版印刷品实物及其他相关文物的梳理，希望能够勾勒出中国早期印刷术发生、发展的轮廓。考古发掘所获得的第一手材料为我们提供了至少自唐代起雕版印刷在中国的产生、发展的确凿证据，丰富了我们对早期雕版印刷所采用的材料、工具以及技术的认识。这些实物证据还可以和文献材料互为补充，帮助我们更全面地研究中国印刷史。迄今为止最早的造纸作坊的系统发掘、纸质印刷品和其他文物在墓葬中的出土，都为将来这方面更多的考古研究奠定了基础。将工业考古学和民族考古学的研究方法引入到古代印刷的研究中，也会对我们深入探讨古代雕版印刷这一课题产生积极作用。

The study of early woodblock printing in China followed the path of relying on the historical literature solely in the past. The discovery of Dunhuang Library cave provides physical evidence of Chinese woodblock printing. One typical sample of printed material Diamond sutra (Or 8210) can be dated to the ninth year of Xiantong reign of Tang Dynasty (868 AD). The archaeological excavations in the last several decades in Shanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi and other places unearthed a group of new artifacts related to woodblock printing. Some of the artifacts can also be dated to as early as Tang Dynasty. T h e current article will re - examine these artifacts and put them in a framework along with text information and other evidences to allow us better understand the origin and early development of Chinese woodblock printing.
