Paper Case

Before we delve into details of paper, the importance it has to culture, need to be established. Paper is an item made from plant fibers found in wood; this fiber is called cellulose. Cellulose must be tailored into pulp before being used to manufacture paper. The second source of paper is what has been recuperated from recycling, however before recycling came into play, there was only one area of origin. This universal artifact, that has not only played a part in the culture I live in; it has played a significant part in humanity as a whole. Paper has left a trail of breadcrumbs extending back from China at the beginning of the first millennium AD to the present time. The acknowledgement for the development of paper; according to Chinese records; goes to T'sai Lun around 105AD. An infinitesimal fact about the originator of paper; he was a court official and some records say he was the emperor of China's chief eunuch, but due to the words "some records" being used in reference to T'sai Lun becoming the emperor of China's chief eunuch; validation has not been proven. T'sai Lun was successively hallowed as the immortal god of papermakers, which in fact spread like wildfire throughout the globe and stayed on a reasonably small-scale until artificer paper fabrication became technologically advanced during the 19th century. Even though T'sai Lun received credit for the invention of paper, it went through much evolution to get to the splendidness it is today. The invention of paper by T'sai Lun solved an issue of that particular time. T'sai Lun's paper was made from rags, used fishing nets, hemp and China grass; it's safe to say that this was the first form of recycling. Primarily, scrolls made of pure silk were being used as reading material; however, due to the happening of calligraphy, the hair brush for animals and the subsequent explosion of reading matter, it created the need for a writing material that was cheaper and more practical than silk. Silk was an essential commodity, but very expensive. Paper in fact was originally envisioned purely for writing and printing purposes.

In the beginning of the 14th century, European papermakers continued the revolution and innovation of paper. The export processing of papermaking to Europe, primarily in Italy, has been well recognized. In an unknown surprise, during the meteoric rise for trade in the middle Ages, paper brokers were handling a commodity that was emerging in its significance for the public, European scholars and intellectuals. In the 16th Century culture, the mill-based papermaking boom was on the rise and by the end of the 16th Century; there was a staggering amount of mills around the world, 190. This artifact has gone through many years of trial and error and finally a successful expansion. The culture came from being a verbal culture where everything was communicated loudly, lies or fables were often told, interpreting incorrectly was
