The novel on the writing board
Writing on a tablet was a traditional form of literature, usually using hand-colored or hand-drawn paper as a medium to express the story and characters through handwritten words or patterns. This type of novel is often called a "handwritten novel" or "pen and paper novel" because it requires the author to use hand-colored or hand-drawn paper to create it. The origin of handwritten novels can be traced back to ancient China and was widely developed in the medieval period of Europe. In the Middle Ages, people usually used handwritten paper to record stories and poems. This form of literature was called "handwritten poetry". As time passed, handwritten novels gradually developed into an independent literary form and received more and more attention and recognition around the world. Handwritten novels usually had a strong folk culture and traditional artistic atmosphere. It was a literary form with a unique charm. It required the author to have high handwriting and drawing skills, as well as meticulous description of the story and characters. Therefore, handwritten novels were often regarded as a highly artistic and literary form.
