1. Four Treasures of the Study-paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Whether it is a senior official or a poor child, paper, ink, pens and inkstones are all essential for learning. It's just that other matching objects and grades are different. Just like we have to prepare pens, notebooks and textbooks for school now. 2. Bundle, that is, tuition. Tuition is the first thing that ancient students should prepare. Also called "admission fee", "apprenticeship fee" or "thank you for the teacher's reward" Although ancient public "official schools" did not charge tuition fees, private "private schools" such as academies and private schools did. In ancient times, tuition fees were not only paid with silver. In the past, most of the tuition fees were in kind, such as a specified amount of dried meat, rice, food and so on. It was only later that people gradually received things like silver coins, but some received physical objects. If students have no money at home, they can distribute food instead of coins. 3. Luggage was called a bag in ancient times. Unlike primary schools, middle schools in ancient times can be divided into day schools and residential schools. Generally speaking, in ancient times, especially children from poor families, generally went to other places to study. But unlike us, we need suitcases for clothes to go to school now. They need to bring a suitcase to hold their own books. Moreover, precious books are generally collected in boxes and are not taken out to see people. Wealthy classmates will arrange special bookboys to move suitcases and take care of their daily lives.
The above are the things that ancient students must bring to school. Students with rich families may prepare more.
