The origin of paper

As one of the four great inventions of ancient paper in China, paper originated in the south of China, which is closely related to the rich bark cloth culture system that appeared in Lingnan area, especially around the Pearl River Estuary, more than 6,000 years ago. 6000 years ago, a rich bark cloth culture was discovered in the south of China. Broussonetia papyrifera and Ficus were the plants of bark cloth. The former is also an important plant for papermaking in China.

Since 1990s, China has unearthed a large number of stone swatters around the Pearl River Estuary, including Hongkong. Among them, the stone swatters unearthed at the Xiantouling site in Shenzhen in different periods show that it is the earliest known stone swatter for making bark cloth in the world 6800 years ago or earlier, revealing that Lingnan area in China is the origin of the world bark cloth culture. The invention of paper has been greatly advanced.

The invention of paper ended the complicated history of ancient bamboo slips and greatly promoted the spread and development of culture. Paper is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the working people in China, and it is used as a sheet fiber product for writing, printing, painting or packaging.

As early as 2200 years ago, it existed in the early Western Han Dynasty, but it was still rough and not widely used. 105, Cai Lun was considered as the originator of modern papermaking after improvement.
