There were fewer and fewer people reading, but why were books more and more expensive?

It was a relative concept that fewer and fewer people read books. It had nothing to do with the sales and purchase of books in modern times. In ancient times, it was indeed expensive to buy books, but with the advancement of technology and economic development, the price of books gradually decreased and became easier to obtain. In ancient times, books were regarded as precious resources. Many books were rare and even considered treasures. Therefore, the price of books was relatively high. In addition, the publishing and distribution of ancient books were not as convenient as modern books. Many books had to go through the process of manual printing, publishing, and distribution, which also led to the rise in the price of books. But even in ancient times, people still loved reading. Many good books would be treasured and passed down as cultural heritage. Therefore, despite the high price of books, people were still willing to buy and read these classic works.

There are many reasons why fewer and fewer people read books now. The following are some possible factors: The rise of social media: social media such as WeChat, Weibo, and TikTok provide a convenient way to share and obtain information, making people more inclined to use these platforms than books. 2. A fast-paced life: Modern people have a fast-paced life and work pressure. Many people find it difficult to find time to read a good book or do not have enough time to finish reading. 3. Diverse forms of entertainment: Now there are many other forms of entertainment such as movies, TV series, games, etc. These forms of entertainment are more diverse and attractive, and it is easier for people to read as a leisure way. 4. The popularity of e-books: The price of e-books is more affordable, and many people can easily buy and use them. This makes more people tend to choose e-books as their reading method. 5. Changes in reading habits: With the development of the Internet, more and more people began to obtain information through the Internet rather than through books as in the past. In addition, many people may no longer think of reading as a necessary activity, so their reading habits are also changing. Reading is a very beneficial activity, but due to various factors, there are fewer and fewer people reading books now.

There are many factors involved in this problem. The following are some of the possible reasons: The rise of social media and Short videos: With the popularity of social media and Short videos, people are more inclined to use these platforms to obtain information and entertainment. Books were seen as a time-consuming and tedious form of entertainment, so they might no longer be the preferred form of entertainment. 2. A busy lifestyle: modern people have a fast pace of life and a lot of work pressure. Many people are busy with work, study and socializing and do not have enough time and energy to read books. 3. The rise of e-books: The emergence of e-books has changed the way people read. People can buy and read e-books anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient for those who need to travel frequently, go on business trips or do not have paper books. Difficulty and cost of reading: Some people may think that reading books is difficult or that they need to spend a lot of money to buy physical books, so they choose to give up reading. 5. The variety of entertainment methods: As the variety of entertainment methods increases, people may be more inclined to choose more relaxed entertainment methods such as Short videos, games, and social media. These factors may lead to fewer and fewer people reading books now, but this does not mean that reading will disappear. On the contrary, reading as a traditional form of entertainment still had great value and could be obtained through various means such as e-books, online reading platforms, social media, etc.

This is a complicated problem for many different reasons. The following are some possible reasons: The rapid development of the entertainment industry: With the continuous development of the entertainment industry, movies, television, games and other forms of entertainment have gradually become an important part of people's daily lives. These forms of entertainment were more relaxing and immediate than reading books, allowing people to obtain a pleasant experience in a short period of time. Therefore, the importance of reading gradually declined. 2. The popularity of electronic devices: With the popularity of electronic devices, people can read all kinds of content through electronic devices anytime and anywhere, which makes reading a relatively more convenient way of entertainment. 3. The increase in the cost of reading: As the price of books continues to rise, more and more people are beginning to realize that the cost of reading is relatively high.

Wuxia dramas used to be very popular, but they have gradually decreased in recent years.

This question involved the background and audience of modern fantasy novels, as well as the author's understanding of the right and evil path. The following are some possible reasons: 1. Commercial: Modern fantasy novels were usually created for commercial purposes. The authors needed to pursue higher traffic and returns.

The increase in the number of remakes and adapted works of domestic dramas did not mean that the number of works that could surpass the classics would increase correspondingly. This was because: Classic works already have a wide audience base and historical accumulation. These foundations make it difficult for classic works to surpass their original appearance and classic status when they are adapted and remade. 2. Classic works have already formed a fixed mode of thinking and aesthetic standards, which are difficult to be surpassed by later works. 3. The creation of classic works has accumulated a wealth of experience and skills, which can be used as a reference for later works. The classic works had already received high praise and recognition in the process of creation, which made the later works need to work harder when adapting and remaking to surpass the status of the classic works. Therefore, although the number of remakes and adapted works of domestic dramas increased, the number of works that could surpass the classics did not necessarily increase. This required the creators to pay more attention to the understanding and respect of the classics in the creative process. At the same time, the audience should be more rational and objective when appreciating the works, not blindly pursuing freshness and fashion.
