The Invention of Paper

Many people who live in modern times think that paper is a matter of course. This is a common object almost anywhere, it's cheap and light, and it is easy to learn. However, paper has been on a long way from creation to the form we know today. People may not know about it, but paper invention completely changed many things such as human civilization, culture, education and so on.

According to recent research and excavations, the earliest forms of paper can be traced back to the Western Han era, but this type of paper was made into hemp, crushed and disintegrated. It is very rough, textured, and very thick. This type of paper was excavated in the Han Tombs at certain places in Gansu Province, and it is the earliest type paper ever found.

However, in the East Han Dynasty around the AD 104, the un-official named Kai Lun invented a new type of paper. It is said that he used bamboo fiber and mulberry endothelium. Then he added water to them and hit them with wooden tools. When they were completely crushed, he poured the whole mixture onto a flat woven fabric and drained the water. It dry and leave only the fiber, Cai Lun understands that the material he made has a good writing surface and is lightweight. The way to make it is also very simple. Cai Lun manufactures paper using other materials such as residues, marijuana, bark, fishing nets and hemp. In 105 AD, he submitted the invention to Emperor He Di of that time and invented the paper based on the history of China.

Before Cai Lun invented paper, the writing surface was made of various materials such as bones, slippers of bamboo, wooden boards, even turtle shells. These things are not only heavy, they take up much space and are difficult to carry around. Then people need not only intelligence to learn but they also need to be strong enough to carry their books. Therefore, many people think this writing aspect is not appropriate. This is probably because Cai Lun invented a new lightweight writing surface that is neither too thick nor too big.

This new papermaking technique was later spread to Eastern Korea around 384 BC. After that, around 610 AD, Korean priests brought papermaking technology to Japan. During the war in the Tang Dynasty, the Arab Empire occupied soldiers and some paper workers, so skills were brought to Arab countries. Chinese monks are also looking for Indian Buddhist scriptures. Through the Arab people, Africans and Europeans have learned and acquired papermaking techniques. Paper technology and paper are widespread on a global scale

It is a cheap and easy writing aspect invention, which means now that doctrine and philosophy can be easily conveyed to others. Education is easier and communication with people from far away has become easier. The use of paper changes the way people teach and learn. It also promotes and promotes advances in civilized cultures and literature.

Paper technology has undergone various refined and refined processes ranging from modesty of the East Han era to today's factory manufacturing and mass production products. It is certainly one of the best inventions made by mankind

By the invention of paper and the invention of porcelain, art prospered and the literature thrived. Through expansion of the empire, the results of the Western Han era have had a great influence on North Korea and North Korea, and have had a great impact on Japan through close trade relations. Since the era of Wu Emperor, Confucianism has become the mainstream idea of ​​the government. The phenomenon of a centennial thinking school formed between spring and autumn has disappeared. Since then, Confucianism has become the philosophy of many Dynasties to manage national affairs.

There are few inventions that make a big impact on the world like cars. This invention not only changed people's livelihood but also influenced business and economic ways When Henry Ford started large scale production work for his model T, no one expected it I could not do it. Some people say that American culture does not have cars. Ford refined its gradual assembly line by using standardized, replaceable parts. Then he trains the staff in just one or two steps so everyone can work as fast and efficient as possible. But then Ford used the first mobile assembly line for mass production. This is a production model adopted in many other industries, enabling large-scale production and reducing costs. Without T type, the manufacturing industry may not be like today.
