In order to record more things on a roll of bamboo slips, it is necessary to delete unimportant words so as to carry the most information with the least words.

The early ancient prose was mostly used by the ruling class for divination, sacrifice and publication.

In the Western Han Dynasty, bamboo slips were replaced by paper. When "paper" is used on a large scale, the habit of using "official documents" among the ruling classes has been stereotyped, and the ability to use "classical Chinese" has evolved into a symbol of reading and literacy.
