Ever since humans began to write literature, make images, record and share their lived experiences, we have needed a way to collect and store these precious ideas. From clay, stone, and papyrus scrolls, to what we now call "notebooks," the way records are recorded has undergone a remarkable transformation. The history of notebooks is the development of human memory preservation and transmission.

As early as around 2000 BC, the ancient Egyptians used parchment to record information. With simple processing and preparation, these parchments became early "notebooks."

However, the flipbook form of notebook we use today dates back to medieval Europe, when writing materials were more like thin wooden pages. Although these early notebooks varied in size and shape, they all provided a space for writing and storing thoughts and memories, leaving valuable historical memories for the development of human civilization.

In the 19th century, with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, large-scale paper production became possible, making it easier to manufacture and distribute notebooks. This marked the beginning of the modern notebook era.

In the 21st century, with the continuous progress of science and technology, although electronic devices are still taking over the way people record information, the traditional notebook has not been eliminated. On the contrary, it has returned to people's lives in a new way, such as spiritual hand ledger, travel hand drawing and so on.

After all, whether clay tablets, papyrus scrolls or modern notebooks, they are responsible for collecting and preserving the memories of our lives. Every page is filled with humanity, wisdom and history. No matter how the technology evolves, this basic form of notebook is here to stay. This is the history of notebooks and a way of recording human history.
