Abstract: The development process of the textual vectors of ancient Chinese thoughts is from carving text on woods and knotting ropes for recording to printing. With the historical evolution of textual vectors, there is a development of the motivation and aim of text writing as well. The internal connection and alienation exit between the expression of the authors and the understanding of the readers. These two factors are key factors of knowledge transmission and cultural inheritance. In ancient China, the coercive interference of authoritarian regimes to thoughts creation and cultural transmission becomes crucial element for these two factors.
