The origin of bookmarks

Bookmarks originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, it was called Yali, which was a bookmark made of ivory. Tang Hanyu's "Send Zhuge to Suizhou to study" said:' Ye Houshu has many books, and Cha Jia has 30,000 axes. Toothpicks are mentioned one after another in this poem. Later, the scroll book was folded, and the toothpicks became thinner, made of bone chips or cardboard, and some were covered with patterned silk.

After the song dynasty, the bookmark style was basically finalized, and it became like this. Due to the lack of material life in the past, the number of bookmarks in the market is extremely limited. Bookmarks even appeared in the market in large numbers in recent years. Even so, the number of bookmarks is much less than that of postal currency cards. Bookmarks can record and reflect life more vividly from a certain angle.

A square-inch bookmark, like a mirror, reveals a thousand-year-old culture and reflects all kinds of life. Appreciating this exquisite art bookmark after reading a book not only adds a lot of emotion, but also becomes a great pleasure of reading.
