Need Help w/Identifying Chinese woodblock printing

Hello,
I found this wooden stamp with Chinese characters, from what I've learned it refers to a collection of works by "Mr. Turtle Nest".
Could someone help me get more information about the artefact?
Or does anyone know any experts in the field I could turn to?

Thank you so much.

 

Welcome, @ale.and

Here is a brief description of the history of printing in China -

I would note that rather than pressing the block onto the paper, as they describe, the sheet of thin paper would be laid onto the inked block and rubbed on the back with a padded tool called a "baren".

The technique is essentially the same as used for creating woodblock art prints, which you can read about here -

Google Lens provides the following translation of the text:

"The order of reading in the government theory is based on the university, and in the university work, the investigation of things is the first. Let’s discuss and try it out. As for the investigation of things, we use Chengzi’s so-called today’s investigation of things.
It is said that the thing is the object and the lack of rationality may have the disadvantage of not having enough time. Moreover, it is afraid that the unrestrained pursuit of objects is contrary to the teachings of three tranquilities and respects, and it is not easy to be grateful. However, Cheng Qian also called the object. Those who don’t want to cover the world will naturally understand things after accumulation.
It is also said that there is no knowledge and no respect for those who have learned it. The most important thing is knowledge and practice.
If you do not predict the two, you will not be able to do it. Therefore, the way of the university must be based on the grid. "Things are the first of the eight principles, and the reason for the grid must be between one's own mind, temperament, and even the principles of righteousness, ethics, and daily use. There is no one among the many things in the world. No

In the current grid, there is also a sequence of priorities. You cannot only grid one thing, but if you want to understand all principles, you don't have to exhaust all the things in the world. You can grid things later, but grid one thing today and grid one thing tomorrow. It accumulates habits.
Naturally, there is a connection between many things. However, respect must be the main focus to make this heart single-minded and never wander. If you are long-lasting and do not stop, if you look at one thing, your heart will be one and this will be exhausted. One principle will make your heart master this difficult day. Day by day, check the museum day by day. Things are imprinted on things but the heart is
It’s not out of our control. Why should the Chinese language be unrestrained in chasing things and go against it? It’s fortunate that Cheng Zi’s examination of things and Zhu Xi’s discussion of respect have been carefully studied without asking anyone. You will definitely have something to say by yourself.
"Now that I have it, I hope that I will be more encouraged to read carefully and thoughtfully. The feeling of thinking will also be needed."

On the contrary, if the physical and mental control is lost to the God of Hechuan, there is no benefit to Wu Wu. I feel that I want to recite the words of not building, but I want to deny it. Answer Huifu Xinxi
Weiwei is the extraordinary thing that arises from the will. Most people can't figure it out, change their mind, change their old mind, and work hard in a day. Those who have ambitions also know the emptiness of this body, live and die in this world, and this learning cannot be done in a day, because of the explanation. Chuandong is afraid, but this ambition can be established. If he can establish his ambition, he will be a scholar, and it will be rare for him to be a fool.
Not only will it make others laugh, but it will also be of no use to yourself. If you can work with a sincere heart, then being kissed by the lips of an unknown person will not be enough to move you.

"I also feel that there are no enlightened teachers and good friends in the world who can value their lecturers. If you want to use sight and hearing to listen to the sound treasure, you should have a Tathagata. This is also the case.

The above tutorial is not consistent with the Analects of Confucius, but it should be interpreted as a stick. Therefore, this paragraph seems to be different from the Analects of Confucius."

 

This is actually a Korean woodblock with a text by the 18th century Korean Confucian scholar Kim Koeng. For most of Korea's history, scholarly texts were written in Chinese characters. The two pages that you show are from the continuation of this particular work. Here, from a Chinese website, is a photo of a woodblock with pages from the original book. I can't tell you the age of your item.
