Hello everyone,

Have you ever thought about how alphabets came into being, friends? The power of human memory has a certain limit, that is, human cannot remember all the things after a certain number of days. That
Writing appeared when there was a need to remember some information beyond the limits of memory. When the administrative accounts of the government of the day and the transactions of commerce grew beyond the limits of human memory, writing appeared to record those accounts.

The early man first inscribed letters on stones, and due to the difficulties in transporting written stones from one place to another when needed, man began to write on animal bones and bamboo sticks. Eventually the lack of portability caused him to write on clay tablets. Although clay plates were easy to handle, this also failed because they required a lot of space to store and maintain.

The Egyptians were the first writers in the world, in terms of the appearance of the papers we use for writing today. BC Cyperus Papyrus is a plant that grows two to three meters tall and grows in the Nile Delta region of Egypt in the seventh century. The stem of this papyrus plant is cut into small pieces, treated with water and some minerals, and then dried well in the sun and then used for writing. Then the Egyptians came. This is the first time that man wrote on paper. And the word paper was born from the word papyrus.

At the same time that the Egyptians were writing on papyrus sheets, the Chinese were writing on animal bones and bamboo sticks. During the Han Dynasty, which ruled from 206 BC to 220 AD with Changan as its capital, there was a court in Guiyang (now known as Leiyang) in ancient China. Cai Lun was working as a security guard. During his time all court records were written on animal bones and bamboo sticks. Due to the difficulty of transporting these items from one place to another, Kai Lun began to investigate an alternative route.

Kai Lun, AD In 105 he discovered a method of making paper from hemp fibers, plant leaves, fishing nets, and textile waste.AD Although the papermaking process was discovered in 105, the papermaking technology was not publicly announced to the world.

The Arabs established the first official paper mill in the city of Samarkand, followed by another in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. It was from Baghdad that paper making technology spread to European countries like Spain, Italy, Germany and France.Until the 18th century, paper was dark colored (the light color of cattle) and in 1844, Charles Fenerty and Gottlob Keller discovered the technology to produce white paper. Since then, white paper has been produced.
