Before the brief invention of papermaking, China used bamboo slices cut into long and narrow strips as writing materials. People call this kind of bamboo chip Jane. The bamboo pieces used to write letters are called bamboo slips.
The thin and small wood used for writing in ancient times was called bamboo slips. When writing bamboo slips in the Han Dynasty, the width of imperial edicts was less than 3 feet, while the width of ordinary letters was only 1 foot, so letters were called letters.
In ancient Cambodia, Cambodian bamboo slips were very common, including letters, business cards and posts, such as invitations, greetings and books.
In ancient times, white silk was called plain silk. Letters written in white silk (or silk) are called geometry, and later "geometry" became synonymous with letters.
Stationery was originally a beautiful piece of bamboo for people to write poems or draw pictures. General stationery is also called stationery, and later it is synonymous with letters.

Zaza refers to ancient letters and public and private documents.

The nicknames of the above letters are all related to the materials used in writing letters in ancient China. In addition to the above nicknames, there are some nicknames in ancient letters. In ancient times, there was a saying that Hongyan handed down books. This allusion comes from Wu Zhuan: "The son of heaven shoots at the forest and gets a goose, which is covered with silk books and speaks eloquently in a river." So, later, red rocks were used instead of letters.
Carp also refers to letters. This allusion comes from the poem "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Cave" written by Han Yuefu: "A guest came from afar, left me a pair of carp, called boiled carp, and there were letters in it." There are several ways for carp to call letters. One is called Pisces. For example, in the Song Dynasty's "Butterfly Loves Flowers", "There is nowhere to ask if the butterfly flies, and the tall buildings are separated by water, and the Pisces are broken." The other is called "double carp". Liu Yuxi's poem "Send Cui out" says: "Acacia looks at the Huaihe River, and double carp should not be rare." Han Yu's poem "Send Lutong" also includes the poem "Send Long Bearded Carp". In Li Shangyin's poem "To Secretary Hu Ling", "Song and Shu have been away from home for a long time, and the two carp are separated by a piece of paper." Some of them are directly called "fish books", and the poem "Recalling Yu Di" by Wei Gao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "There is no fish book in the Yangtze River, and it is like a piano to send acacia." Because carp is often used instead of letters, the ancients often made letters into carp shapes. In the poem "Han Yuefu", there is a saying that "the ruler is like a remnant of snow, forming a pair of carp. You should know well and read the books in the curtains. "
Letters also refer to letters. Letters originally refers to the mailbox of letters. After ancient letters are written, they are usually found in a bamboo tube or wooden tube and then sent out. There is a phrase in Li Bai's poem, "Peach and bamboo calligraphy, elegant writing". Later, the book tube also became synonymous with letters. For example, there is a saying in Zhao Fan's poem in the Song Dynasty: "I am afraid that there will be no geese in Hengyang, and the book container will not disturb people."
Eight-part essay is also another name for letters. In the past, letters had eight lines per page, so they were called eight-part essays. Li Xian quoted Ma Rong's "Zhang Dou Shu" in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Meng Ling's slave came and gave him a book. He saw the handwriting ... Although there are two books, eight lines of paper and seven words." Wen Tingyun wrote: "Eight lines, a thousand miles of dreams, flying in the south."
