Materials used before paper<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paper is a semisynthetic product made by chemically processing cellulosic fibres. To create paper, it needed to grind the source material, boil it in a solution, beat, pour it into a mould, and dry. The first documented mention of the papermaking we are used to was in China during the Eastern Han period (25\u2013220 CE), traditionally attributed to the Imperial court Cai Lun. Subsequently, other countries adopted the method of creation from China, which led to the widespread use of paper products, an increase in the number of books and the natural spread of knowledge. But what was before this invention of paper?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before paper, there were a considerable number of alternatives. The materials varied from place and culture. Chinese people used bones and shells in the 13th century BC and then moved to bamboo starks in 500BC. But these materials were not particularly convenient to carry; they were too heavy. But in other parts of Asia, there were different materials. For example, tree bark was used in Russia and India, whereas palm leaves were preferred in eastern countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
