Bookmarks actually have no special meaning, just a convenient reading tool. The main function of bookmarks is to facilitate reading. It is a small piece of paper sandwiched in a book, which is used to mark where you have read and record the reading progress. If it is a bookmark for a friend, it is understandable that Mu and Digg are both book friends.

Bookmark pictures are random and have a wide range of sources, and many things can be bookmarked. In addition to graphic content, art bookmarks are often innovative in materials and shapes. There are many kinds of bookmarks nowadays, including paper bookmarks, metal bookmarks and customized bookmarks of various shapes.

Bookmarks are more convenient than folding books, and the damage to books is lower. Compared with other ways, bookmarks are a very convenient way to remember page numbers.

Bookmarks originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when they were called Yali, that is, bookmarks made of ivory. In the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu's poem "Send Zhuge to Suizhou to study" said: Ye Hou has many letters and 30,000 axes. One is a toothpick, if a novice hasn't touched it. Toothpicks are mentioned in this poem. Later, the scroll book was folded, and the toothpicks became thinner, made of bone chips or cardboard, and some even stuck a layer of patterned silk on the thin sheet. The toothpicks originally inserted in the scroll became bookmarks sandwiched in the book.

A square bookmark, like a mirror, reveals thousands of years of culture and reflects the colorful life. Appreciating this exquisite art bookmark after reading a book not only adds a lot of emotion, but also is a great pleasure to read.
