How to make various bookmarks

Bookmark method is as follows:

The material we need to prepare is a square piece of paper (small)

2. Fold in half and open, and fold in half along the newly folded line.

3. Turn it over, fold the back part, make some changes, and then fold it again!

Use of bookmarks

Bookmarks can be used to inscribe the titles of ancient books, which are usually attached to the upper left corner of the cover of ancient books, and sometimes there are fascicles, the names of the authors and small sheets sandwiched in the books to record the reading progress.

Bookmark pictures are random and widely used. Even used train tickets and plane tickets can be used as bookmarks. In addition to graphic content, art bookmarks are often innovative in materials and shapes. Bookmarks are more convenient and less damaging to books than folding books, so they are a good way to remember page numbers.

The significance of counting money

Bookmarks originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when they were called "toothpicks". Made of bamboo, whenever you see a very important place in the book, you will insert a "toothpick" at one end of the book for easy reading.

Bookmarks are even more useful when scroll books become folded books. After the Song Dynasty, more and more attention was paid to bookmarks, and sometimes sentences such as aphorisms were handwritten on bookmarks. Today's bookmarks are printed with poetry aphorisms, celebrity aphorisms and decorative paintings, which is the reason.

Now, we not only use bookmarks to mark the progress of reading, but also use bookmarks to record our reading experience and write comments. Bookmarks with books echo the traditional aesthetic principle of China, just like wearing a suit and tie, a book with bookmarks is a complete book.
