World Book Day: A marriage between books and bags

Among the ways to carry books in ancient China, there was a kind of bamboo box.

Xuan Zang, a noted Buddhist monk from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), carried such a box during his journey to India.

Similar box to carry books also appeared in the 1987 film, A Chinese Ghost Story, a remake of the 1960 original movie with the same title.
