我国图书的历史尽管已经走过了几千年的发展路程,但因其内容、形态、载体的不断变化,学术界关于图书至今尚无公认的定义,因而导致了关于图书产生时代认识的不同。目前有一种较流行的看法,认为我国最早的图书载体是简策,早期的图书产生于春秋战国时期。从目前发现的文化遗物证实,我国早在4500年前已有文字,3500年前的殷商时代文字已很发达了。从文字的产生到图书的产生不可能经历2000年的历史时期。 Although the history of Chinese books has gone through thousands of years of development, its content, form and carrier are constantly changing. As a result, there is no universally accepted definition of books in academia so far, which leads to the different understanding of the age of books. At present, there is a more popular view that China’s earliest book carrier is a simple policy, and early books were produced in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. From the cultural relics discovered so far, it has been confirmed in our country as early as 4500 years ago that the writings of the Shang dynasty era of 3500 years ago have been well developed. From the production of the text to the production of books can not experience the 2000 historical period.
