Ancient China Dynasty: Invention.

"Paper Invented!"

            Paper was invented in China during the Han Dynasty. Paper was an important invention around this time period for multiple reasons. One reason is that it was very portable. Since it was portable it was easy to just carry around and pull out when needed instead of carrying around a big piece of stone. Also it didn’t take to long to make and it only used a few supplies and it was a product that could be traded a lot because you could make it whenever you needed it. Lastly, it was a very good money and expensive product saver because without paper they would have to waste bamboo slips, golden stone, turtle shell, animal bone, and/or silk and both are very pricey. That’s what papers uses were in ancient China.

            Paper was invented by the Han Dynasty and mostly used for recording important events and data. Prior to the invention people, had to get heavy stone to write on or use good, expensive cloth that was needed for other important things. Paper was thought to be invented in between 202 B.C.-220 A.D. For this reason, that was the time period that the Han Dynasty lasted. Lastly, without it the Chinese would be stuck in wasting money they needed to help support there growing dynasty. That’s what the first uses of paper were and when it was developed.

            Paper has really changed people’s lives in many ways. For example, without paper today I would possibly be writing this paper on some piece of cloth or a stone. Also all famous documents could possibly break and we would be using a computer 24/7 for all. Also without paper a lot of kids would not be able to do homework and would not learn a lot after class at your house. Lastly, there would be no dollar bills there would only be coins and a lot of currency would be harder to manage because there so small and you’d carry a lot at a time in order to buy something. That’s why paper has changed the world ever since its invention in the ancient Chinese dynasty of Han.
