Chinese type/Chinese type history sources

Wanted: Chinese/Taiwanese type and/or in-depth history about Chinese movable type.

I am a printmaker/book artist currently located in Cambridge, MA. I’ve very new to letterpress but am interested in incorporating it into my work - I’m particularly interested in sourcing Chinese/Taiwanese type, or at the very least, sourcing any in depth history about Chinese movable type ( online reveals only a few summaries about its inventor Bi Sheng). Grateful for any insight, offers, or direction!
