插图：With the flourishing of academic culture came anincreasing demand for books in society. Private bookcollections also expanded. For example, in the WarringStates Period （475-221 BC）, the politician Su Qin andphilosopher Hui Shi both owned large private libraries.It was said that Hui Shi's books could fill five wagons;this inspired the Chinese idiom xuefu wuche, or readenough books to fill five wagons, to describe a learnedperson. After Confucianism was designated as the o~-cial philosophy in the Han Dynasty （206 BC-AD 220）, theChinese showed a stronger desire to learn than ever.When books appeared book distribution began imme-diately. Books were widely distributed as people copiedbooks, borrowed them from others and learned fromteachers. Book copying became a profession. Booktrading also emerged.Publishing began in China in the 21 st century BC. In thesecond century BC, our ancestors invented papermak-ing based on previous experimentation over a long pe-riod. But it should be noted even after papermaking hadbeen invented, it took a long time for the technology tobecome widespread and, for centuries, paper and silkremained in use. Paper did not become a popular writ-ing medium in society until the fifth century AD, whenthe emperor ordered that paper should replace silk.
