The traditional book-repairing paste is made of flour, pyrethrum, alum and other moth-proof and antiseptic materials. At present, the paste for repairing books is made by diluting the chemical paste bought in the market with water. Muddle the pulp on the torn book and finally put it together to dry.
The history of books is closely related to the development of writing, language, literature, art, technology and science. It can be traced back to the inscriptions on stones, wood, pottery, bronzes, palm leaves, bones, birch bark and so on. The use of papyrus greatly promoted the development of books. Around the 30th century BC, Egyptian papyrus scrolls appeared, which was the earliest embryonic form of Egyptian books. The papyrus scroll is closer to the concept of modern books than the clay tablets of Sumer, Babylon, Assyria and Hittite.
Books are one of the important symbols of human progress and civilization. In the 20th century, books have become one of the main tools for spreading knowledge, science and technology and preserving culture.
With the rapid development of science and technology, besides books, newspapers and periodicals, other tools have gradually emerged and developed. But the role of books is irreplaceable by other communication tools or means. At present, whether in China or other countries, books are still an indispensable and important communication tool to promote social, political, economic and cultural development, so we should cherish and restore books.
