In 3500 BC, the Sumerians inscribed a simple character on granite, which was called cuneiform by later generations, and the engraving tool was called “stone” by later generations, which can be called the earliest stationery.
What has stationery developed to today? In the ancient school season, we walked into the past and present of stationery together.
The stationery of the ancients, absolutely. “If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.”
For the ancient literati, writing poetry and painting was the most daily pastime, so the utensils in the study were indispensable. Traveling through time and space to explore some stationery at that time, it can be said to be extremely rich, such as colored ink, arm rests, carved ink, and treasured stationery boxes. Even if you look at it with today’s eyes, it is still exquisite, and people can’t help but admire the craftsmanship and aesthetics at that time, absolutely!

In addition to the sense of design, the functions of the current stationery are simply too comprehensive and creative.
