The role of fish books

1. Fish books, as a form of letters, are even more precious because of their special production method and meaning. People place their thoughts, blessings, greetings and other emotions in fish books and pass them to relatives and friends far away by mail. Every fish letter carries a heavy emotion, expressing people's thoughts and concerns.

2. In modern society, although communication methods are increasingly developed and people can contact each other at any time through phone calls, text messages, social media, etc., fish books still have their irreplaceable value. In the fast-paced life, people tend to ignore the power of words, but fish books can make people calm down and feel the warmth of words with their hearts.

3. Receiving a handwritten fish letter is like receiving a gift, which can make people feel the sincerity and intention of the other party. At the same time, fish books are also a good way of cultural inheritance. By writing fish books, people can pass on the excellent traditional Chinese culture and let more people understand and inherit traditional culture.

4. Fish books also have high artistic value. Writing fish letters requires certain calligraphy skills. Good calligraphy works are not only pleasing to the eye, but also convey the emotions and mood of the writer. There are also very high requirements for the paper, ink color, and seal of fish books, which make fish books a kind of art.
