 An advertisement from Yuzhou Feng Magazine. The beginning of libraries and book-collecting in China means the beginning of China's culture and civilization. About four thousand years ago, China already possessed a written language in the form of inscriptions on oracle bones, stone, and metal, which, being done by the scholars of the time as a form of writing, became the earliest kind of written literature known.
