Ancient Chinese people used scrolls primarily for writing and preserving literature, history, and philosophical texts. These scrolls, made from materials like silk or bamboo, were easy to transport and could be unrolled for reading or display. They also served as a medium for art, allowing artists to create intricate paintings and calligraphy. Additionally, scrolls played a role in education and documentation, helping to record important events and knowledge for future generations.
Why did they use papyrus instead of PAPER? It's all they had.
In ancient times, scrolls were typically sealed using wax or clay seals that were impressed with a stamp or signet, often bearing the emblem or signature of the sender. This method ensured the scroll's contents remained private and protected from tampering. Additionally, some scrolls were tied with cords or ribbons, and the seal served as a confirmation of authenticity and origin. The use of seals was an important aspect of communication, especially in diplomatic and legal contexts.

The idea is Egyptian and grew out of the accounting business. It use to be that paper came in long scrolls (easy to make that way.) Then somebody discovered that he could roll more than one scroll up together. Then somebody else discovered that the shorter the scrolls were the easier it was to reference any 'page' directly.
