People who like to read have a special affection for words and paper. The text is composed of unequal strokes, regular arcs, and dots of different shapes and sizes, although there is no life, but in the reader's mind, the text has breath, they lie in the arms of the paper, or a solitary place, or a group of threes and twos, or a row, or a paragraph. The characters are lifelike under the description of the text, and the scenery is vividly displayed on the page in the description of the text.
When I was working in Xi'an, there was a road called the word making platform road nearby, and I deliberately looked for the ancestor of the creation of words many times in **, but I didn't find it, and I was very disappointed.
It is said in the history books that ancient human beings tied joints in ropes to remember daily events, and began to adapt to simple life, but later found that the same rope, the same knots, there was no difference, for more and more, more and more complex things, it was impossible to record in detail. Therefore, our great ancestors invented writing, using unused strokes to record life, and creating words according to the forms and movements of people and objects, I think it was written on the ground at the beginning. With the change of time and weather, the words written on the ground will slowly disappear, and the great predecessors carved the words on the back of the turtle, called the oracle bone ......
Later, people recorded the text on the bamboo pieces and threaded the bamboo pieces with ropes to form bamboo slips.
Wealthy people wrote words on silk, giving them a graceful and luxurious temperament, which only the upper class could afford, which was not conducive to the spread and continuation of culture.
So what's the most practical and suitable for the general public?Paper, of course.
Cai Lun of the Han Dynasty improved papermaking and used the most common raw materials to make paper that people could afford, which played a very big role in promoting the spread of culture.
More than 10 years ago, when I went to the library, it was still a bit crowded, except for people who bought books, most of them were people who rubbed books. Whenever you enter the library, you will be greeted by the aroma of the fresh air of paper and the mixed smell of ink. There is no sweet, bitter and salty in books, if a person really enters the world of words and books, he can feel the ups and downs of the spirit.
No one can stop the development of the times, today's library, there are very few people, people have a more advanced text-carrying tool - mobile phones.
It seems to be a small tool, but there are countless books hidden, which can be enjoyed as much as you like**, which is suitable for modern people's pursuit of freedom.
