Bamboo slips are early and haven't appeared yet. Oracle bones and Zhong Ding unearthed in China are engraved with objects. However, the writing at that time had basically laid the foundation for the emergence of bamboo slips. Because of this inconvenience, there is no way to spread book culture and exchange ideas well. After the appearance of bamboo slips, these conditions have improved.
Bamboo slips are made up of many bamboo pieces, each with a line written on it, and then these bamboo pieces are woven into an article. This form of bamboo slips is called bamboo slips. This is one of the oldest books in China.
Extended data:
When bamboo slips appeared, they were similar to bronze inscriptions. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, bamboo slips on bamboo slips were also in their heyday. Even with the appearance of paper, bamboo and wood documents still go hand in hand with paper in the long river of history. Finally, bamboo slips let go of the hand of paper, on the one hand, because of the laws of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, on the other hand, because the cost of bamboo slips is too high.
Bamboo slips are the longest-used book form in the history of the Chinese nation. Before the invention of papermaking and the popularization of paper, they were one of the main writing tools. They are also the media of cultural preservation and dissemination determined by ancestors after repeated comparisons and difficult choices. Bamboo slips are an important revolution in the history of media.
