Woodblock prints first appeared in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and reached their peak in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), where they represented traditional Chinese aesthetics. Wei's studio borrowed the name Shizhuzhai from a renowned printing house in the Ming Dynasty.

The technique was inscribed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2014.
