They used boiled leather thongs threaded through little holes made on those strips to bind them together into a book according to a certain order. According to the Records of the Historian, Confucius avidly read The Book of Changes in his old age. He used the book so often that the leather thongs binding the wooden strips broke three times. Later on, this term is used to describe a person who reads diligently. 引例 Citations： ◎孔子晚而喜易……韦编三绝。（《史记·孔子世家》） （孔子晚年喜欢《周易》……编联《周易》简册的皮条多次断裂。） In his old age Confucius loved to study The Book of Changes... He used this book so much that the leather thongs binding the wooden strips wore out three times. (Sima Qian: Records of the Historian) |
