In the Han Dynasty, when old-style private schools were opened, students used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. 22.　　　　 There were usually two or three layers(层) in the box. Kids put different things, like books, brushes, ink stones(砚) and paper in the boxes. 23.　　　　 For example, in The Legend of White Snake, Xu Shilin carries a bamboo box to the capital to take an exam. And in the movie The Chinese Ghost Story(《倩女幽魂》), the scholar Ning Caichen also carries a bamboo box.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks(军用帆布包) became popular. 24.　　　　 Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
