It is impossible to verify who specifically invented it, and there is no relevant record.
Early writing was engraved on oracle bones and bells and tripods. Due to the limitations of its materials, it was difficult to spread widely. Therefore, until the Yin and Shang Dynasties, only a few hundred people from the upper class mastered writing. This greatly Restricting the spread of culture and ideas, all this did not change until the emergence of bamboo slips. Ancient bamboo slips can also be embodied with modern craftsmanship. Bamboo slips originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty and were more widely used during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Around the 4th century AD, as paper became widely used, bamboo slips were replaced by paper manuscripts.

This is the earliest form of book in ancient my country. The wood pieces used for writing are called wooden tablets, and they are mostly used for writing short articles.
Slips are the main material used by ancient Chinese ancestors to write classics, documents and other text carriers before the invention of paper. They are one of the oldest books in my country. Bamboo slips, together with oracle bone inscriptions, Dunhuang posthumous writings, and Ming and Qing archives, are listed as the four major discoveries of Eastern civilization in the twentieth century. At present, the study of slips has also formed a world-wide discipline at an astonishing speed. It includes history, archaeology, paleography, and literature. Learning, calligraphy, etc., from multiple angles and fields, it has opened up a new field for the academic research on Chinese history and culture. Bamboo slips appeared almost at the same time as oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, bamboo slips were most popular. After the invention of paper, bamboo slips and wooden slips went hand in hand with paper for hundreds of years. It was not until the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that Hengxuan issued an order, and the bamboo slips system came into being. Finish.
