把字写在哪里,才可能对一个社会的风貌产生重要的影响?早在4000多年前,最早的人类文明就出现了文字。生活在西亚两河流域的古代苏美尔人用削成三角形尖头的芦苇秆将楔形文字刻在黏土制作的泥版上;古埃及人先是把圣书字刻在石碑上、墙壁上和金字塔上,后来又写在莎草纸上;中世纪的基督教徒把经典著作抄在羊皮纸上;古代中国在青铜器上铸上文字,后来还曾把字写在竹简上、丝帛上和纸上。
Where can the words be written before they can have a major impact on the social outlook? As early as 4000 years ago, the earliest human civilization appeared in writing. The ancient Sumerians, who lived in the two rivers of West Asia, carved cuneiform script on clay-made clay plates with triangular pointed reed stalks; the ancient Egyptians inscribed the sacred scripture on stone tablets, walls and pyramids And later on papyrus; medieval Christians copied the classic writings on parchment; ancient China cast the words on bronze, and later on the bamboo slips, silk and paper.
