Advantages and disadvantages of van Gogh clip type

The advantage of Van Gogh's clip is that each page exists independently and is easy to check. The disadvantage is that the rope is worn or the page hole is broken, which is easy to cause page loss or inconvenient reading.

The main binding forms of Tibetan ancient books in Tubo period. The original Van Gogh folder was used to bind Bedolo leaves with scriptures written on them. Its technology is to stack scallop warp in turn, sandwich a bamboo board or wooden board with the same size as scallop warp from top to bottom, punch two round holes in the middle of the splint, thread the rope into the holes at both ends respectively, and tie the rope tightly.

In Tibet, the scriptures written or engraved on paper are generally copied from the Bayeux Sutra, with wooden boards in the middle and tied with ropes and cloth belts. This binding method is mainly used for Tibetan scriptures.

Van Gogh's Works in China;

China's early books were made of different materials. Bamboo, wooden slips, printed bamboo slips, silk and finally paper were used. Books made of this material cannot be bound by van Gogh; It doesn't matter if Sanskrit is translated into Chinese.

So, strictly speaking, China's books are not bound by Van Gogh. However, after Sanskrit Buddhist Scriptures were translated into Chinese, especially into China's minority languages, such as Tibetan and Mongolian Tibetan Scriptures, Buddhist Scriptures written or engraved on paper were also imitated by Baye Scriptures. After the leaves are gathered into a pile, there are also cases where the upper and lower leaves are clamped with boards and tied with ropes and cloth belts. Although it is not Van Gogh's clip in Bayeux, it is obviously an imitation of Van Gogh's clip, so it can also be called Van Gogh's clip.
