Where is the woodblock printing exhibition hall in Bao Si, China?
China Bao Si woodblock printing exhibition hall is located behind the government compound of Bao Si Town, Liancheng County, east-west. Originally known as the ancestral temple of Zou family in the village, it was named Dingfu Gongci, covering an area of about 800 square meters. Built in Qingganlong 2 1 (1757), it has a history of more than 240 years. The whole building consists of a gatehouse, an upper hall, a lower hall, left and right wings and a patio.

The upper hall of the exhibition hall is the printing tool exhibition hall. There are huge graphite cans, mortar grinders, book cutters, bookshelves, carving racks, brown brushes and a printing demonstration table that can hold more than 200 kilograms of ink. There are three computer-made "woodcuts" on the main wall of the hall. The words on the "woodcut" are Biography of Zou Yinglong, the History of Song Dynasty. On the walls on both sides are the portraits and text introductions of representative booksellers in Bao Si, as well as the portraits and text introductions of Zou Taofen and the introduction materials of four great inventions of ancient china. There are cover plates of Liang Zhu, Guan Yin and Guan Gong on the printing demonstration platform, which are about 1 m long and 0.5 m wide for tourists to do antique printing exercises.

The north wing of the upper hall is the printmaking exhibition room. In the glass cabinet against the wall, more than 300 pieces of dark wood carvings are displayed. These woodcarvings are all left over from the Qing Dynasty, and some of the covers of Hundred Family Names, Holy Amethyst and People's Daily Use are particularly large and conspicuous. It is said that these wood carvings are made of hardwood such as pear wood, jujube wood and paper wood. They have a history of 200 to 300 years, some of them have been destroyed by insects, and some of them are still intact.
