Features: This book introduces that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, paper was made by collecting the hair-like fibers left on the water surface when sericulture was practiced. This marks the earliest revelation in the history of ancient Chinese papermaking. Later, during the Western Han Dynasty, it was discovered that old hemp textiles could also form paper when immersed in water for washing.
