Book tickets are small decorative paintings attached to books. When people open a book, the first thing they see is a beautiful book ticket, which can add decorative effect to their favorite books with exquisite binding design. This is the case in terms of formal beauty, and it is more profound in terms of the art of book tickets. Although the picture of the book ticket is not big, it is not only an independent art, but also contains all the requirements and manifestations of artistic creation. From the content, we can express the thoughts, feelings, cultivation and interests of bibliophiles. In terms of expression, it can be realistic, freehand, symbolic and lyrical. Technically, you can use the special effects of various printmaking varieties. The shape is not limited to square, circle and triangle, and you can also create freely in tone, as long as you have beautiful decorative effects in books. Book tickets are used by readers, book lovers and book collectors. They not only decorate their books, but also mark the ownership of book collectors, express readers' arms and wishes, and make books available to future generations as research materials in some aspects. From this point of view, although the book ticket is a small decorative painting, its artistic significance is various.

The history of the book ticket art in China is very short, but it has been more than 1000 years since the custom of printing books today. There are three differences between book tickets and philatelic stamps:

First, the collection tickets are mainly paintings, while the collection stamp is only the imprint of words. Therefore, the contents of book tickets are richer and the forms are more diverse.

Second, book coupons are attached to the back cover of books, which are organically combined with book binding design and become an integral part of book publishing industry, so they have wider practical significance than collecting stamps.

3. Book tickets are a small art like stamps, which can also arouse the interest of society in collecting book tickets and enrich people's spiritual world like stamp collecting.

From the above three points, the practical value of book tickets is higher than that of collecting stamps, and the art appreciation is wider and more modern, which is worth popularizing. Scholars touch books every day, and "never leaving the book" is the quirk of intellectuals. They love books and form a good habit of collecting books. Since there are many love books, I will think of how to protect and decorate my books.
