Thread-bound books refer to the types of books bound with thread, also known as ancient thread-bound, which is an important invention of working people in ancient China. The ancient paper books in China experienced two stages: scroll and album. The reel consists of coils, shafts, ribbons and belts. There were only books in this scroll form in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Today, we see scroll paintings hanging on the wall, or the legacy of scroll mounting.
The development of history
Zhang Bangji's "Mo Zhuang Man Lu" recorded in the Northern Song Dynasty: "Uncle Wang is a rare and long-term fortune, making books, sticking leaves to the top, taking off the rot for a long time, and finding a second place is enough to copy and get books. If the sewing is cut for a long time, it will be difficult to book. At the beginning, I got several copies of "Numerous Dews" by Dong Shi, but it was very confusing and upside down. It took me more than 20 years to finish reading it, and I searched it several times before I finished reading it. This is the shortcoming of sewing.
Try to talk to Song Xuanxian, and Song informed the screenwriter to stick to it. I tried to read the yellow book and white paper in the third hall. They were all glued pages, and the upper and lower columns were bound with paper pages. The same is true after borrowing Sun Xin's hometown book in Gaoyou. I also saw that the animals owned by Qianmu House are the same, and most of them just use white paper as labels and hard yellow paper as narrow labels. This method is often used by Brother Gai. If you like passing books, you will get wonderful books one day, and you will stop sewing.
In the article, "If the seam is broken for a long time, it is difficult to set it", which is undoubtedly a thread-bound book. Wang Zhu was a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, so it can be seen that thread-bound books appeared at least in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Robbie wrote in the Legacy of Roche: "It is hateful to say that there are few books and the world does not know how to read them. There are so many books that the world doesn't know how heavy they are, which is particularly hateful. By the end of the Tang dynasty, there was still no copy, and most of them were handed down from generation to generation. So the ancients didn't have many books and didn't know how to sew. They just fold up the paper, roll it up and stick it together with a piece of paper. " It can be seen that sewing books is a common form of book binding in Song Dynasty.
