Abstract It is generally believed that editing emerged after written literature. Editing in the modern sense did not exist before the arrival of written literature, but the primitive “editing” activities and thinking did exist. In the Knot Age, ropes were a kind of media and different ways of “editing” ropes (e.g. different lengths and numbers of knot) could convey different messages. This kind of real thing editing brought with it a kind of primitive idea of editing and communication, viz. information could be recorded and spread by means of certain media (ropes) and media production (knotting). Such a primitive idea was litter different from the later idea of editing written literature. Therefore, “knotting to set down events” can be called the most primitive and simplest “editing activity”. The activities and ideas of editing came before the written language, and it is the primitive knotting activities and ideas that gave birth to the editing idea and practice of written literature.
