The invention of the paper-making as we know it today is attributed(归功于) to the Chinese. In 105 A.D., Tsai Lun, a Minister of Agriculture under the Han Dynasty, made some paper from rags and fishing nets. From the eighth century the use of paper gradually spread westwards, eventually reaching Europe. The first English paper mill was set up in the fifteenth century.

The Chinese kept the paper-making process a secret for several centuries. The Arabs learnt it from the Chinese in the first half of the eighth century/ the craft spread to Baghdad and Damascus, reached morocco about 1100 A.D.. from where it was introduced into Europe by way of Spain, France, Italy and Germany. In Japan, the techniques of paper-making arrived in 610 A.D., where paper was made entirely by hand, chiefly out of the bark of the mulberry tree. In Europe it was made from rags, while in China and the Arab world other materials were used as well as rags.
