It is almost known that the founder of the paper industry is Cai Lun. Because Cai Lun's contribution is too great. Paper-making is one of the four great inventions in ancient China, and people all over the world admire it! Cai Lun, Zhong Jing, was born in Guiyang (now Liuzhou, Hunan) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although Cai Lun was born humble, he was smart and studious, so when he was young, he was called into the palace by Emperor Han and became a formal courtier. He can go in and out of the imperial court, serve the emperor, deliver imperial edicts, manage documents and become the emperor's confidant. Although Cai Lun was a eunuch, he was cautious and outspoken, and was highly praised by officials in the DPRK. Moreover, Cai Lun is unsociable and somewhat withdrawn. On weekdays, when he is at home, he always studies alone with the door closed, always thinking about various problems. One day, when Cai Lun came back from the imperial court, the emperor gave him a batch of "official documents" to take home for trial. Those official documents are all "bamboo slips" carved with bamboo slips, which are very heavy. Seven or eight people got on an ox cart and made it creak. Halfway there, the old cow really couldn't drag on, and its hoof slipped and was crushed under the shaft. As a result, the letter was scattered all over the floor. Cai Lun managed to put away the books and letters, and the cow collapsed. He had to find a new car to take these "official documents" home. Back home, Cai Lun was very tired, lying in bed, holding her breath and thinking. He thought, now this kind of "bamboo slips" is really stupid. I heard that there was a scholar named Hui Shi during the Warring States Period. Every time he goes out, he pulls the "bamboo slips" of five ox carts, which is called "learning five carts". At that time, Qin Shihuang read the "official documents" for a day, tied them together and weighed them, weighing 1000 kilograms; Let's take this dynasty as an example. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once flaunted talents, and a man named Dong Fangshuo wrote a long self-recommendation article. A * * * used more than 3000 pieces of bamboo slips, and several people carried them before entering the palace. How hard do you think it will take this screenwriter to wait for these bamboo chips to die? Alas, this is really exhausting! Can you think of another way to write without this bamboo slip? Yes, we should try to change something, change it into a lighter one, … what should we change it into? Cai Lun thought and thought, but he couldn't think of any good way, so he went out of the house for fun. Cai Lun came out of the house, but not out of the door, turned to the backyard. There is a pond in their backyard. There is a pockmark in the pond. Several family members are fishing for marijuana and making hemp mats there. They beat and smashed. Cai Lun walked with his head down and wandered, thus entering the pond. Suddenly, something flew in and hit Cai Lun on the head. Cai Lun was surprised and lowered his head. It turned out to be a hemp stalk, and the hemp stalk skin on it had fallen off. But there is a thin layer of linen on it. Cai Lun heart movement, picked up the hemp stalk, carefully Chou up. When these families saw the smashed hemp stalks, they hit their owners on the head. They quickly knelt on the ground and repented their sins with trepidation. And Cai Lun patronized the hemp pole and didn't notice it at all. Cai Lun carefully peeled off the film left on the hemp stalk, thinking, I wonder if this thing can still write when it is dry? I just think silk is too thick. In this way, he walked and thought, walking and thinking. Suddenly, my foot slipped, "Pa!" Cai Lun had a big fall. I haven't got up for a long time. Cai Lun grinned with pain and closed his eyes. However, when he woke up again, there was already a layer of glistening plush silk brocade on the ground. Cai Lun also thought his eyes were broken. He rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully. It really is true. This time, he didn't feel any pain, so he quickly knelt up, gently opened a silk brocade with his hand and studied it carefully. Cai Lun looks happier and happier. Isn't that what he is looking for? This kind of silk has fine grain, fine mesh and light weight, but what is it? Just then, two maids ran out from the opposite weaving room. See adults fall, hurry to help. Cai Lun also forgot so much, and quickly asked two servants, "Look, what is this?" "Oh, adults ask this, this is the broken wool left by cocoon. The two servants immediately replied that it was very good, very good ... very good! " Cai Lun repeatedly applauded. From then on, Cai Lun seemed to be possessed. In one hand, he held the web on the hemp stalk, and in the other hand, he was thinking and thinking repeatedly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he let out a cry and rushed to the door. It turned out that Cai Lun had a good idea in his heart and quickly asked someone to help him with the experiment. He asked people to collect bark, hemp heads, old silk forgings, broken fishing nets, rags and other things, chop them up, then put them in a big pot and cook them in water. After boiling, it is taken out and beaten to make synthetic fiber silk pulp of various materials. Dissolve them in water, put some sticky juice such as batter, and finally take them out of the water with a thin curtain. As a result, take out a piece of film, put it on the ground, stick it on the wall and dry it, and it becomes a light and soft paper. Finally, between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the first year of Xing Dynasty, Cai Lun made paper for the first time and presented it to the emperor. The emperor was very happy and immediately issued an imperial edict, ordering everyone in the world to adopt it. At that time, all the literati were ecstatic, and everyone praised the paper made by Cai Lun. Because Cai Lun was once named "Longtinghou", everyone called this kind of paper "Cai Hou Paper". Since then, there has been a paper industry. People who make paper will be handed down from generation to generation, and Cai Lun is his granddaddy.

Papyrus ancient civilization used various materials to write characters. The cuneiform characters of ancient Babylonians were carved on clay tablets, the ancient Egyptians wrote on papyrus, the ancient Indians wrote Buddhist scriptures with scallops, and the ancient Near East wrote with animal skins. In ancient China, Oracle Bone Inscriptions was carved on the bones of tortoise shells, the inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty were carved on bronzes, and Wen Tao of Qin and Han Dynasties was carved on pottery. Later, stone carvings, bamboo slips, wood chips and silks were used as writing carriers, but they all had their own shortcomings: they were too heavy.

Cai Lun invented paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty, also known as Cai Hou paper. Many people think that paper only appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was no paper in the Western Han Dynasty. In fact, the world's earliest paper "Fangmatan Paper" appeared in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, as evidenced by documents and unearthed objects. Papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty was put forward by the ancients as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. For example, Shu Duan, an appraiser of calligraphy and painting in the Tang Dynasty, and Lu, an appraiser of calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty, all thought that papermaking had existed in the Western Han Dynasty, but no physical objects were unearthed at that time. 1933, the earliest unearthed ancient paper of the Western Han Dynasty in the world was finally unearthed at the beacon tower pavilion site of the Han Dynasty in Luonaoer, Xinjiang, which is Luonaoer paper. Although this paper is not the earliest paper in the world, it is the first time that an ancient paper was unearthed in China. More importantly, its excavation proves that paper was made in the Western Han Dynasty. According to the research of archaeologist Huang Wenbi, the wooden slips unearthed at the same time are the first year of Huanglong, and Huanglong is the year number of Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, so it is inferred that it is hemp paper in the Western Han Dynasty. Since then, many papers from the Western Han Dynasty have been unearthed in China. The earliest ancient paper was the Wendi and Jingdi periods, which proved that paper appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. 203.71.9.5/chinascience/e/e index
