Important Song prints are kept in libraries and museums.
According to statistics, at present, there are no more than 1200 engravings of the Song Dynasty that can be found in China, and most of them have been designated as national first-class cultural relics. Chinese mainland's collection of Song Dynasty woodcuts belonging to the national first-class cultural relics is very rare, only concentrated in a few large libraries. Among them, the National Library of China has more than 500 books, the Peking University Library has more than 50 books, and the Shanghai Library has more than 200 books.

At present, in the mainland, important Song Dynasty prints are basically collected in public institutions such as libraries and museums, and few people are lost.
