China's writing is different from that of the West, but why are punctuation marks mostly common?

Punctuation marks in classical Chinese are naturally added by later generations.

In fact, there were no punctuation marks in ancient times. When people write an article, there is no gap between the first word and the last word.

Later, when people learned classical Chinese, they broke the sentences of ancient Chinese. In short, they added punctuation marks. For example:

I once read such a story: in ancient times, a man wanted to ask a tutor for his children, and a man came to apply for it (of course, applying for it is now said). He made a condition to the recruiter: "chicken, duck, fish and meat can be left out", and the recruiter felt that it was good to meet his requirements. But in fact, what men want to say is: "no chicken, no duck, no fish and no meat." So it was really troublesome to communicate in words in ancient times.

Later, international laws and regulations stipulated common punctuation marks, which people used in this way.
