The word or phrase that describes the relationship between the ideas in the sentences is "cause and effect." The sentences explain that a Buddhist book called The Diamond Sutra, printed in 868 C.E., is the oldest known printed book. It then goes on to explain that the book was printed using page-sized panels of wood blocks which were carved by hand with Chinese characters shown in reverse. The first part of the sentence sets up the cause (printing of the book), while the second part describes the effect (the technique used to print the book).
