"The Four Great Inventions of Ancient Papermaking, Do You Know How to Make It?" #造纸术#四大发明》

Qin Dynasty.

Looking at the title of the video, Qin Shi Huang had no idea what it was and why it was called one of the four great inventions.

However, I thought that since there was such a title, it must be very important to future generations.

At the same time, he also wanted to know, could they Qin Dynasty be able to make it?

Han Dynasty Western Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, looked at the paper that broke when he touched it, he couldn't understand how this thing could become one of the four great intents?

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't understand it too well, he thought that since this thing appeared on the canopy and was crowned one of the four great inventions by later generations, it seemed that he was very useful.

Thinking of this, he called the craftsmen and asked them to make them according to the steps on the canopy.

Han Dynasty Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cai Lun looked at the title on the canopy, and he was slightly stunned.

By this time there was paper, but it was too much to use.

He thought about improving the process, adding plant fibers such as hemp, rags, and old fishing nets to the original production materials.

Unexpectedly, a video explaining papermaking appeared in the sky, and he was very happy.

If there is a writing material that can replace simple silk and is inexpensive, it will change the spread of knowledge.

[This is a very ancient papermaking process, if you accidentally cross one day, and there is no paper, then please learn this skill carefully, it will be the best way for you to get rich.

We tear off at least two-year-old bark, which is tough and suitable for papermaking.

Cut the bark into segments, remove the rotten parts inside, and soak them in water.

After cleaning, drain the water, then hang it in the garden to dry, and when the bark has shrunk naturally, you can use it to make paper.

……】

Looking at the paper made on the canopy, Qin Shi Huang was stunned.

The heaviness of bamboo slips has always been his daily pain, and you must know that the daily recital is about the car pulling to the palace.

If it weren't for his strong body, he would be tired to death just by correcting the recitals every day.

Now that there is a paper-making process, it represents a cart of music, and now you can write it down with just a few small pieces of paper, so that you don't have to be so tired.

At the same time, Qin Shi Huang also thought of the school palace he wanted to run, and he used to think about asking the craftsmen below to make more bamboo slips for the students of the school palace to use, but now he doesn't need it.

If this paper is actually made, how convenient it will be to use this writing directly.

Thinking of this, Qin Shi Huang thought of the people of the Mo family again.

"Zhao Gao, the people of the Xuanmo family, hurry up and make paper according to the method on the canopy."

"No."

The people of the Mo family followed the guards, their faces covered in cold sweat.

They felt that the short trip in this palace was like going to the battlefield.

This thing appeared from the canopy, and I don't know how many times Qin Shi Huang called him in front of him to study and make things on the canopy.

Although they are Mo masters and experts in making mechanical arts, they are also confused when they face the things on the canopy.

In the absence of physical objects and theories for them to study, how could they possibly make something on the canopy.

Fortunately for them, what they were asked to study this time was given a specific method of operation on the canopy.

They looked at it carefully and found that compared to what they had done before, it was very simple today.

Although there are many things in it that they don't understand, it also delays them from being able to make them.

After watching the canopy, they slightly let go of their apprehensions, and hurriedly said 'No' to Qin Shi Huang.

When they left the palace of Qin Shi Huang, they began to discuss.

Discuss how to make the paper and how to improve it.

They want to make the things on the canopy as soon as possible, and they are afraid that if they can't do it this time, they will be held accountable.

At the same time, they also understand why this thing is called one of the four great inventions.

Western han dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, picked up the paper that had been improved according to the method on the canopy, and sure enough, it was no longer easy to break, and it was much easier to carry than bamboo slips.

Of course, compared to these advantages, he also thought about how much it would contribute to the spread of knowledge and how much the country would benefit if it was to use this writing instrument.

He had seen the canopy in front of him, but he knew that the illiteracy rate in the later generations was low, and he also understood the changes that this would bring to the future.

Now that he is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che also wants such a common people, how can he not vigorously spread knowledge.

The people of other dynasties, seeing the video on the canopy, all said that they had opened their eyes.

Originally, their literacy rate was not high, and they were not rich in materials, and many of them even did not have enough food and clothing.

For paper, many people have never used it in their lives, let alone know the process of making paper.

At the same time, many people found business opportunities in it, and they also wanted to try it themselves to see if they could make paper.

If it is really made, then selling it to readers will also be a supplement to the lifestyle.

"Giant: There are many kinds of handmade paper, rice paper (sandalwood and straw), Lianshi paper (tender bamboo), bark paper (skin), mulberry paper, hemp paper, rattan paper, etc.

All kinds of paper have various paper thickness characteristics because of different raw materials and fibers, and have various uses, such as pasting windows, wrapping medicine, landscapes, calligraphy, rubbing, etc. 》

"Can't forget: then papermaking is a patent in my country, do you have to charge patent fees for paper in other countries [cover your face]. 》

"Chen Xin: Bleach is used now, what was bleach used in ancient times? 》

"Chen Sanwei on the Road: The ancient bleach was alkaline, and the gray water of plants and trees was alkaline. 》

"Like Water Flowing in the Years: The Alkalinity of Grass and Trees Grey Water Is Too Low, Is It Really Useful?" Why don't you use lime water?"

Qin Dynasty.

When the Mo family saw the comments on the canopy, they quickly wrote them down.

If they started watching the video, they thought that they could only make paper from the bark of a tree.

So now they know that in addition to tree bark, there are also young bamboo, sandalwood bark and straw that can be used to make paper.

And according to the different materials, different paper can be made.

When they saw bleaching, everyone in the Mo family was stunned.

The yellow paper they made directly was the finished product, but they didn't expect it to need to be bleached.

Han dynasty.

Many craftsmen were also stunned when they saw the comments.

Although they had already made paper from the canopy, they didn't expect to bleach.

But looking at Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who was still happy, they knew that it didn't matter, they just needed to improve.

So they started making it again, but because they couldn't find lime in the palace for a while, they had to put in some plant ash for bleaching.

It's just that they didn't expect that the effect was okay.

Although compared to the snow-white paper on the canopy, the paper they made was slightly yellow.

However, compared to the finished product made in the first production, the effect of this production is much better.

Compared to the paper that broke when touched before, it was even more heaven and earth.
