Blair created it in 1824, so Braille is called Blair Braille internationally. Blair Braille 1874 was introduced into China. 1On June 4th, 809, Blair was born in the home of a poor harness manufacturer in France. At the age of 3, he accidentally slipped with a knife and stabbed one eye, and soon the other eye became infected, leading to blindness. The parents didn't give up training the blind child. Father used nails to form letters on the board, taught him to read, and later sent him to school. 18 19, Blair was sent to the Royal School for the Blind in Paris. At that time, the textbooks of blind students were printed with enlarged letterpress letters, which were heavy and stupid, slow to touch and more difficult to write. The number of textbooks was very small, and most courses depended on dictation. 182 1 year, the headmaster of the school invited Charles Barbier, a retired naval officer, to teach and demonstrate a method of "pronunciation" to the students. This is a kind of "writing at night" symbol, which uses two rows of six bump symbols to represent phonetic symbols, specially created for transmitting commands and strengthening communication during night combat. Blair, who was only 12 years old, was inspired. He excitedly said to Barbier, "Using bumps instead of lines will definitely create new Braille ..." Now, after nearly 50 years of development, China Braille Publishing House has formed a fairly mature publishing system for Braille books and periodicals and audio books for the blind, and its production capacity has been greatly improved. All kinds of braille printing equipment have reached the international advanced level, and the technological process has basically been modernized.
