Every
school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a
big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the
schoolbag?
In
the Han Dynasty(汉朝) , students in old-style
private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the
bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three
layers(层) in the box. Kids put different things like
books, brushes, ink stones(砚) and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds
of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or
the "hip-pocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the
founding(成立) of the People's Republic
of China, military rucksacks(军用帆布包) became popular.
Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or
parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of
carrying them when they were in school.
A new
style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful
and fashionable designs(时尚的设计) on
them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable
to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others
carry backpacks.
Schoolbags
are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like?
