The movable-type printing originated in China. It later paid back to the Orient after the technological innovation by Gutenberg. In the renovation of modern printing in China,the existing research has long focused on booksellers led by Commercial Press,while neglecting the contribution of Chinese modern commercial newspapers. In fact,due to the pursuit of economies of scale and the benign return cycle,the operators of commercial newspapers are more eager to mechanize the printing press than booksellers. By combing historical materials,this paper discusses the contribution by Shen Pao and Sinwen Pao to the application,dissemination and manufacture of western movable-type printing equipment. In this process,western business newspapers,as the new knowledge of technology,promoted the moveable-type printing revolution in China.
