There is a very obvious difference between modern people and ancient people, that is, the difference in writing. When we were very young, we often saw that many ancient poems were written from top to bottom, and from right to left. Now we write from left to right, and from top to bottom. One of the important reasons why ancient people did this was because they were writing on bamboo slips, and bamboo slips, we.
The reason why people did that in ancient times was because papermaking had not yet appeared, and the ancient records were also a volume, which is enough to show that their bamboo slips were all rolled up at that time, so in order to facilitate reading, they naturally unfolded from right to left, and people first saw the words on the right, so they could quickly read the whole article from top to bottom.
and in ancient times, most people wrote with a brush, so after writing one of them, when writing the next one, the previous one will be dry, so it won't be said that there will be ink in their hands. Now, because of the invention of papermaking, people write with more paper. If you write from right to left, it will inevitably cause an inconvenience, that is, when you write the second column, the ink in the previous column will be in your hands. Another important reason why the ancients did this is that they thought of being superior and inferior, because in ancient times, they were the monarch as their parents, the minister as their children, and the right was big and the left was small.
So now many notebooks are customized line by line, so they are written from right to left, and then from top to bottom. In this way, it seems beautiful and simple to us, and now the writing brush has gradually become one of the calligraphy, and the common tool for people to write is the water-based pen. This pen has a very bad disadvantage, that is, its pen and ink dry slowly, so people change to write from left to right. ?
