Cai Lun (63~121), also known as Jingzhong, was a Han nationality from Leiyang, Guiyang County, Eastern Han Dynasty (now Leiyang City, Hunan Province). The inventor of papermaking, one of my country's four great inventions. Cai Lun entered the palace as a eunuch in the late years of Yongping (75). He has served successively as Xiaohuangmen, Zhongchang Shi and Shangfang Ling, Changle Taipu, etc. In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (114), Emperor An granted him the title of Marquis Longting (his fief was in Longtingpu Town, Yang County, Shaanxi Province), with 300 households in the food city. Cai Lun was honest and prudent, and cared about the interests of the country. He had "repeatedly violated strict standards" and was responsible for current politics. Diligent and studious, concentrate on doing things and do your best. Queen Dou's burial sword and other objects were also designed and supervised by him."They are all meticulous and precise, which is the law of future generations." In the fourth year of Yongyuan (92), after Cai Lun was appointed as the Shangfang Order, he took advantage of his service to visit rural workshops. He saw that after the silkworm woman spun silk and floated wadding, there was still a layer of short hair and silk wadding left on the bamboo mat, which looked like silk and could be used for writing. Inspired by this, he collected tree bark, waste hemp, rags, old fish nets and other raw materials, and applied them to file, boiling, dipping, ramming, and copying in court workshops to try plant fiber papermaking. Finally, plant fiber paper was made. In the first year of Yuanxing (105), he wrote a memorial about the papermaking process and method, and reported it to Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, together with the plant fiber paper he made, who praised it greatly, and Cai Lun's papermaking skills quickly spread. People call this kind of paper "Cai Hou Paper", and "everyone in the country uses it." Cai Lun's invention became one of the four great inventions in ancient China and made great contributions to human civilization. American Mike Hart ranked Cai Lun seventh in the "List of 100 Celebrities Who Influence the Process of Human History".
