Passage 1
In ancient times, writing materials were rare and expensive. In China, people used bamboo strips(竹简) and silk to write. Bamboo strips were heavy and took up too much space, while silk was light but far too costly for common people. Writing and reading were activities only for the rich.
Then came a man who would change everything. Cai Lun, an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was determined(决定) to find a better way. Around 105 AD, he created a new material by mixing tree bark, old cloth, fishing nets, and hemp(麻头) waste with water. The result was light, thin, and cheap—the first true paper.
Soon, paper was widely used across China. It made writing and reading possible for many more people, and knowledge began to spread faster than ever before.
The art of papermaking remained a Chinese secret for hundreds of years. It spread to the Republic of Korea and Japan, and later to the Arab world after the Tang Dynasty. In the 12th century, paper finally reached Europe. Books became much cheaper, and education was no longer a privilege(特权) of the rich.
Today, paper is everywhere. But the invention of paper is still valuable. It's considered one of the most important inventions in history.
