When you say copper plate, you should mean copper movable type, right?

The largest copper movable type in Qing Dynasty is the ancient and modern book collection, which was printed in Yongzheng period, with 5020 copies per book 1040. The 200,000 copper movable type has never been printed since King James's Collection of Ancient and Modern Books was printed. They are hidden in the copper vault of Wuyingtang, and the person who keeps them is the mole. Later, they were afraid of being discovered and punished. It happened that Beijing was too expensive to circulate in the market at that time, so they suggested destroying copper and casting money and selling them all out.

Other Fujian forests have also seen bronze movable type, which seems to be called Futian Shu Hai. Later, these copper movable types were resold and changed to a library number to continue printing books. There may still be some copper movable type among the people, but it depends on chance.
