2. Basic concepts

Books are the main tools used by human beings to record all their achievements, and also the important media for human beings to blend their feelings, acquire knowledge and inherit their experiences, which has made great contributions to the development of human civilization.

Tools for recording, analyzing, summarizing, organizing, discussing and explaining information, whether there are illustrations, hard copies or paperbacks, and whether there are envelopes, including preface, introduction, catalogue and index, are devices for increasing knowledge, deepening understanding, promoting and educating the human brain.

3. The history of the book

Many great creations of mankind have gone through a long process of development, condensed the painstaking efforts of countless people, and are developing and growing all the time, and books are no exception. Take China as an example, it has a history of at least 3,500 years, during which people have invested more wisdom and labor. Books have been created and improved repeatedly, and they have the appearance at this time.

Generally speaking, in history, except some books made for special purposes, the development of books can be found in a little context. In the earliest communication, people may only use gestures or volume as a medium when gesturing to each other. Later, from the accumulation of experience, some fixed syllables were determined to represent a certain meaning, so human beings walked out of the silent era and entered a society with words and no words.

With language, human beings often remember what they hear by memory and then repeat it to others; Or spread your ideals and personal experiences through language. This purpose and method are similar to the functions of future books, so it can be called oral living books.

People's memory is limited in the end, and sometimes it will go out of shape. Spoken movable type books must have many defects. As a result, intelligent human beings have invented many ways to help memory, among which knotting is the most representative. We can call it a rope book, which expresses different meanings through the size, tightness, quantity and different colors of knots.
