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， 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 （層） in the box. Kids put different things like books， brushes， ink stones （硯） 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 Peoples Republic of China， military rucksacks （軍用帆布包） 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 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.

Nobody knows who invented the pencil or when it was invented. A Swiss described a pencil in a book in 1565. He said it was a piece of wood with lead （鉛） inside it. In 1795， someone started making pencils from graphite （石墨） and they became very popular. Today， people make pencils in the same way. They put it inside a piece of wood. One pencil can make a line as long as 55 kilometers.

When people wrote with pens，they had to put the pen point into the ink after writing every few letters. Later someone invented a fountain pen （自來水筆） and this kind of pen could hold ink inside it. A fountain pen can write several pages before you have to fill it again.

Two brothers，Ladislao and Georg Biro，invented the ballpoint pen that we all use today. They left their country Hungary and started producing ballpoint pens in England in 1943 during the World War Ⅱ.
