Inventions of Han

For years the ancient Chinese scholars relied on strips of bamboo and silk for writing. These were an annoyance because they were too awkwardly shaped and hard to grasp. In 105 A.D, a person name Cai Lun created something called paper. He boiled bark, rags, and nets together. He then mixed it into a squishy pulp. The water was being absorbed so the fibers grew a little bigger. He pulled something out, and waited until the pulp dried and then he had one sheet of paper. Paper became a great seller because it was cheap and nicely shaped.
