Paper
Many inventions are created out of necessity and the motivation for Ancient China’s invention of paper was no different. In China, particularly in the royal court, texts were highly valued; however, before paper was created the Chinese were forced to record their texts on stone or bone. This situation meant that books and documents were heavy, bulky, and difficult to transport. The only way to avoid utilizing heavy material was to utilize silk which was a valued invention in its own right. The invention of the paper making process helped to solve these problems. Ancient China created the mixture of fibres that when dried created the first of what would become modern day paper. The Chinese invention of paper allowed the world to alter its system of recording and continues to be important today.
It was, thin, feted, formed, flat made in porous molds from macerated vegetable fiber. (Hunter 1943,4) Before the 3rd century AD, the first paper was made of disintegrating cloth- bark of trees and vegetation such as mulberry, hemp, china grass. Paper was used in China from AD 868, for engraving religious pictures and reached its height of in 1634 with the wooden block prints made popular by Sung Ying-hsing. The technology of making paper moved from China to Japan and then to Korea in AD 610 where it was commonly made from mulberry bark and Gampi. Later it was made from bamboo and rice straw.
