The Amazing History of Paper!

Did you know!!!




  •  2,000 years ago a Chinese government official and scholar named Ts'ai Lun  is grinding up plants - mulberry bark, linen and hemp. He makes a big wet mush of separate fibers, then spreads it all out in a mat made of coarse cloth and a bamboo frame.
  • After the sun has dried the matted material, he's made something really remarkable, paper.
  • Even though archaeological evidence shows that paper may have been made even a little earlier, Ts'ai Lun was the first to have his efforts recorded.
