Humans are visual animals, and different colors and lines have different emotions and expressions. The pictures refer to a large number of ancient books from the East and the West, such as Chinese bamboo slips, thread-bound books, Western parchment scrolls, hardcover books, etc. It is so re-organized into easy-to-understand visual symbols. Viewers can easily feel the historical emotions from the graphics and explore the story behind the graphics.
