Books are the treasure trove of human thoughts,green house of intelligence and source of tremendous power.From the ancient times,books of all kinds have been recording the inheritage of human culture,social development has been promoted steadily by books as well.Therefore,books are regarded as the fountainhead of knowledge and “the school of life” of our time.Writing,compiling and book-printing have become a high-quality way of living that propels civilization and cultural accumulation.Book purchasing,reading,admiration and collection have been a way for people to show their enthusiasm towards knowledge and books.Bookplate came into being in this connection.It is a symbol of book collection and represents the ownership of books by the collectors.Its practical and aesthetic value,communication and collection value are highlighted,which start to draw people's attention.Of course,this kind of "square inch" fun can not be developed without the creation and participation of the literati.The mainstream of traditional culture is the spirit of literati.The integration of Literati Spirit into bookplate collection can not only make the "imported" bookplate reflect Chinese cultural,but also give soul to the art form of bookplate.According to the development history of China's bookplate,it can be divided into four stages: the beginning period,the slow development period,the booming period and the development of bookplate in the new century.There are typical bookplates and representatives in each stage,and the Literati Spirit of the bookplate holders can reflect the style of an era.In the beginning period of 1920 s and 1930 s,during the war period,some literati still maintained their love of books and book collecting.They are fond of the art of bookplates.They express the pursuit of life fun and the spirit of loving books through the patterns of bookplate,which also created a prosperous scene of literature and art in that era.In the slow development period of 1937-1975,the Anti Japanese War brought the development bookplate into a stagnant period,but there are still manyexcellent works.In this period,literati expressed their patriotic passion through works These works also reflect the strong patriotic feelings of the literati in the war era;after1978,the development of the bookplate was ushered in to spring with more and more creative themes.The literati used patterns to express their aspirations.Literati were still indifferent to fame and wealth,pursuing tranquility and farsightedness in the period of economic and cultural recovery,which is also the precious Literati Spirit of this era;the bookplate of the new century began to be used in publications,and there are also new forms of electronic bookplates.The value of bookplate will be further discovered with the fast development of today's world,and the love of books from literati will never change.We should vigorously advocate,promote and use Tibetan book tickets,let them play their role,to highlight the history of Tibetan book tickets and the research value of literati spirit,full of historical significance of Tibetan book tickets and the characteristics of The Times,to inject new significance and vitality into the humanistic spirit of Tibetan book tickets.
