In the slave society, although simple characters appeared, business cards did not appear. The earliest business card was called "Ye", and the current "Ye Jian" was not until modern times that business cards began to become popular.
Polyethylene business cards were mainly produced for communication. In the past, due to the underdeveloped economy and transportation, people's communication was not very wide, and the demand for business cards was not large. With the reform and opening up of the mainland, the population flow has accelerated, the communication between people has increased, and the use of business cards has begun to increase. Especially in recent years, with the development of the economy and the development of information, business cards used for commercial activities have become the mainstream of the market.
There were no business cards in primitive society. At that time, the population was sparse, the environment was harsh, people had a hard time surviving, and there were few communications; characters had not yet been formally formed, and the early knotted rope records only existed within the same tribe, and the tribe had no exchanges with other tribes. In the slave society, although simple characters appeared, business cards did not appear. The economy of slave society was not yet developed, and most people were fixed on the land. Slaves had no right to education; a small number of hereditary slave owners formed a small ruling group. Because the ruling circle had not changed much for a long time, and literacy was not common, there were no conditions for forming business cards. Business cards first appeared in feudal society. In the Warring States Period, China began to form a centralized country. With the use of advanced production tools such as iron, the economy also developed, which led to cultural development. Confucianism represented by Confucius and other schools formed a scene of a hundred schools of thought. All countries are committed to expanding their territory, supporting and spreading their own culture, and a large number of emerging nobles emerged during the war. In particular, Qin Shihuang unified China and began a great reform, unified the national writing, and enfeoffed princes. Xianyang became the center of China. The princes of various places had to report to the capital at regular intervals. In order to get closer to the court officials, it was inevitable that the princes would frequently contact each other, so the early name of the business card "Ye" began to appear. The so-called "Ye" means that the visitor writes his name and other introduction text on a bamboo or wooden piece (paper had not been invented at that time) as a meeting introduction document for the person being visited, which is now a business card. In ancient China, business cards were not called "business cards" but name cards. The earliest business card was called "Ye", and the current term "Yejian" may have originated from this. It originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties, when paper had not yet been invented, so name cards were cut from bamboo. One's name was written on it, and it mainly served the purpose of visiting and communicating with others. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it began to be called "ci". After Cai Lun invented papermaking, paper became more and more used, so people began to use paper to make things, called "name", "name paper", etc. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was called "men zhuang", which was used by the bureaucracy to present petitions. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was another name card called "shuoben", which was used by subordinates to see their superiors and students to see their teachers. Therefore, in the early days, business cards were only used for the communication of a few privileged classes. Only in modern times did business cards begin to become popular among the general public.
