A book needs a lot of bamboo slips, which are connected in sequence with strong ropes and the like, and then a book is the last one, which is very convenient to read.
Usually, those woven with silk thread are called "silk weaving", those woven with hemp rope are called "rope weaving" and those woven with cooked cowhide rope are called "Wei weaving", among which the cooked cowhide rope is the strongest. A book as heavy as Zhouyi is of course made up of many bamboo slips woven together with cooked cowhide ropes.
Confucius spent a lot of energy reading the Book of Changes again and again, adding a lot of notes. I don't know how many times he opened it. It is generally believed that Confucius could read and write in this way, and the cowhide belt of serial bamboo slips was worn off several times and had to be replaced with new ones for repeated use.
