Ts'ai Lun invented paper around 105 AD primarily to create a more practical and efficient writing surface. Before paper, people used materials like bamboo strips, silk, and animal hides, which were cumbersome and expensive. By developing paper from mulberry bark, hemp, and other plant fibers, he aimed to facilitate communication and record-keeping, ultimately contributing to the spread of knowledge and culture in China and beyond. His invention revolutionized documentation and became a fundamental medium for education and administration.
