In 105 AD, paper was invented in China by Cai Lun, who used a mixture of plant fibers, such as hemp and mulberry bark, along with rags and water. This pulp was mashed into a slurry, pressed into thin sheets, and dried to create a writing surface. The invention significantly advanced record-keeping and literature, eventually spreading to other cultures and revolutionizing communication methods. Prior to this, writing materials were primarily made from bamboo, wood, or silk.
