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.
