Why didn't the ancient Chinese invent punctuations?

Punctuation was not invented in ancient China because it originated from western characters and was widely used in medieval European literature. In the early stages of the development of ancient Chinese characters, there was no concept of punctuations. With the evolution of the written language, punctuations gradually appeared in different dynasties and literary works. Punctuation has become an essential part of our writing and reading in modern Chinese. However, in ancient China, the use of punctuations may not be widespread, so it may be seen in some literary works that the wrong punctuations are used.

Bloodlines of the Ancient Pantheons

This novel is currently on pause. It doesn't mean that is finished or that it will never see another chapter. Since it need a hard editing rework, I will now focus on my New Novel "My Demon Pet System", participating in WSA 2K21. I sincerely hope you loyal readers will show your support by voting it and helping it climb the rankings. I aspire to edit BoAP soon, letting you know more about Dag's adventures. _________________SYNOPSIS_________________ Millions of years in the future, the Sun collapsed, and the existence of the human race on Earth was about to end. Yet, the arrival of the Xis, an omnipotent alien race, saved the human from mass extinction and forced them to live under the surface of the airless, dying planet. Their act wasn't selfless though. The Xis forced the human race to atone for their sins against the Earth by sending them on a journey to explore their ancient bloodlines. They created an artificial solar system with a planet for each of the ancient pantheons, and divided the remains of the human race according to their ancestors. Dag, an earthling kid, is about to undergo the test of his bloodline through an alien machine called "Temporum". The Temporum would send him to the Viking planet, where he will discover an eerie connection with the ancient Gods and learn to wield part of their power. However, he will soon find out that his bloodline hides far more than that... 6 pantheons 6 destination planets A multitude of Gods and supernatural powers. One destiny to fulfill. P.S. This is my first novel. Comments and feedbacks are very welcome. I'm from Italy, so I'm constantly improving my writing skills.

She develops mountains of reasons why she doesn’t want to marry the prince, but no matter how hard she tried, the prince kept proposing to her, and disasters kept following her as if the author was forcing her to follow the plot. The novel that she thought was predictable and full of cliches cause her to wonder, will she ever be able to change her fate? ******************************* How did I become the villainess of this cliche romantic novel!! I reincarnated into the romance novel that I read last night, and I skip through the chapters and only read the crucial parts. The villainess will be beheaded at the age of 17 because she loves the prince too much. I felt relief because I hate the idea of marrying the prince. There is a mountain of reasons why I don't want to! It's just not practical! "Oh, no, his pheromone attack! It's is very strong this time, but I will endure it! " "She smells nice. I want to keep her by my side forever." ******************************* Note to readers Publishing Schedule 2 chapter - Every Sat & Sun Sometimes more if I feel like it XD What can you expect: This novel contains lots of romance and adventure combined. It's a slow burn novel. ************************************** Ps. I do not own this artwork, full credits to the owner. Double Ps. I also don't control the pricing. Triple Ps. There may be a little R-18 content after chapter 60. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have to postpone my work until my health is better. I have been pilling the stories and hope to publish it the end of the year. Thank you for your continuos support.
