The Invention of Papermaking
Papermaking is one of the most important inventions in human history. It was invented by Cai Lun during the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. Before paper was invented, people used many different materials for writing, such as animal bones, bronze wares, stones, wood, bamboo, and silk. However, these materials were either heavy, expensive, or difficult to use.
Cai Lun was an officer in the palace workshop. He wanted to find a better and cheaper way to make writing materials. He experimented with different materials like bark, old clothes, and plants. He mixed these materials with water, boiled them, and then pressed them into sheets. The result was a soft, light, and inexpensive paper.
In 105 CE, Cai Lun presented his invention to the emperor. The emperor was very satisfied and praised him. Soon, paper became widely used in China. Later, the technique spread to other parts of Asia and eventually to Europe. The invention of paper greatly influenced the spread of knowledge and culture around the world.

Bi Sheng was born in the Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD (公元). He was the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany.
The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past?
First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully onto the types. After that the words were chosen and put in right order in a box according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types. Finally the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books.
The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place.
The movable type printing, the compass (指南针), gunpowder and the papermaking are called four great inventions of China. They make China own an important and even top position in the history of human civilization (文明).
1. When was the movable type printing invented?
A. About 600 years ago. B. Around 600 AD.
C. Before the Song Dynasty. D. About 400 years ago.

③ Before paper was invented, bamboo slips (竹简) and silk were widely used. They greatly influenced later book styles and writing rules. Even today, many rules of writing and book design still follow old traditions from that time.

The Invention of Papermaking
Papermaking is one of the most important inventions in human history. It was invented by Cai Lun during the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. Before paper was invented, people used many different materials for writing, such as animal bones, bronze wares, stones, wood, bamboo, and silk. However, these materials were either heavy, expensive, or difficult to use.
Cai Lun was an officer in the palace workshop. He wanted to find a better and cheaper way to make writing materials. He experimented with different materials like bark, old clothes, and plants. He mixed these materials with water, boiled them, and then pressed them into sheets. The result was a soft, light, and inexpensive paper.
In 105 CE, Cai Lun presented his invention to the emperor. The emperor was very satisfied and praised him. Soon, paper became widely used in China. Later, the technique spread to other parts of Asia and eventually to Europe. The invention of paper greatly influenced the spread of knowledge and culture around the world.
