Summary:
Cai
Lun
was called into the Palace to serve the Emperor at the age of 15. He was smart and studied hard. Soon he was promoted to be an attending official in charge of documentation. At that time, documents were written either on tablets of bamboo strips or on silk. Bamboo strips were heavy and silk were expensive. The Emperor was very unhappy about it. Therefore,
Cai
Lun
was determined to find another durable material that would be good for writing including a light-weight quality with a soft writing surface.
Cai
Lun
began his experiments with all the cheap natural material that he could find such as dry grass, bark, fishnet and old ropes. With the support from the Emperor and the help of the imperial craftsmen,
Cai
Lun
successfully invented
paper
after many attempts. The innovation of
paper
made it possible to keep records and also paintings.
