The utility model relates to the technical field of cultural goods, in particular to a novel ruler, which comprises a ruler body; a plurality of convex points are arranged on the lower surface of the ruler, and concave points or a concave surface is arranged on the upper surface of the ruler. After the utility model adopts the structure, the convex points which are in a shape of an arc surface are arranged on the lower surface of the ruler, through the contact between the convex points and paper, the friction is reduced when being pushed, and simultaneously, the paper surface is prevented from being polluted by handwriting of the ruler edges. On the other hand, the convex points or the convex surface is arranged on the upper surface of the ruler, the novel ruler is favorable for finger positioning, finger slip when being pushed is avoided, and users can easily control the ruler.
