Silly mistake spotted.

> which is actually when the "Song" (the Chinese dynasty after Ming)

Song is before Ming, which follows Yuan (Mongolian rule). During the Song
dynasty, the printing industry reached an apex, thanks to movable type. By
Ming, the Kai-script-like typeface for movable blocks used during Song have
evolved into a simpler form with straight strokes (like Modern Ming), which is
much easier to carve on wood blocks.

Jeff Bai and I have almost forgotten the issue... Fortunately the pending list
generally looks good for me by now, and I am hoping to publish it by next
Monday.
