The invention of paper is credited to the ancient Chinese civilization. Papermaking is believed to have originated in China during the early 2nd century BCE, during the Han Dynasty. The earliest known form of paper was made from mulberry bark, hemp, and other plant fibers. The Chinese technique of papermaking gradually spread to other parts of the world, including the Islamic world and Europe, leading to the widespread use of paper as a writing material.
