Paper is a thing that people use but i have come to realize that this invention is not really thought about it is just used.So if you have not already heard of me I invented the object that you modern humans call paper.During my time paper was being made but to the poorest quality and i got tired of having to always write on clay tablets that were really heavy.Since i lived in china bamboo was concidered native to my country so the books that were made the pages and covers were made of bamboo,now if you were important you got the books made of expensive silk.In the west they had to use they're resources and wax,& animal skin was they're version of paper to write on.Now back in this time in mesopotamia Cuneiform was developed which was a tpe of writing.The Cuneiform writing was just shapes to represent actions and basic things like that.Around the world what mesopotamia called Cuneiform we called Heiroglphics that was another type of writing used by the egyptians that was shapes and pictures to represent actions and things that people have done.Well since the writing was out the way i just wanted a better thing to write on so my process of paper making began. I wanted better for books so i took the technology we had at the time to begin making paper that would be alot better than the silk and things that we wrote on.Since writing was already invented all we needed was a better writing surface which i worked hard to fix.I made paper that was light,thinner,& made it mass produced.By the time the 3rd century came paper had came my paper making process was being used in all of china,japan, vietnam,& korea.In the year 751 some paper makers from china were captured by some arabians and the first arabia paper was created in samakran.In 1150 spain had heard of my paper mking process and hd started to make their own type of paper and hides were stopped being used to write on.With my paper making process rapidly spreading it took the place of hides in europe.With my paper being made it made literacy and intelligence got better because of a better writing source.
How making my paper was a good contribution
With my invention of paper it made good contributians to china and the rest of the world.During the han dynasty paper wasn't popular and people still had the erge to use the same writing sources they had used for thousands of years.When the jin dynasty came in to place paper began to spread being made near the Yangtze river.
I'm a global influence
By 105 my papermaking process began being widely used as a writing medium in china by the time the third century came.Me making paper allowed china to to grow its civilization must faster.
