China is the first country to invent papermaking. Before the invention of paper, Chinese records mostly relied on tortoise shells, animal bones, gold and stone, bamboo slips, wooden slips and silk. With the development of social economy and culture, there is an urgent need to find cheap and easy to get new writing materials. After a long period of exploration and practice, the plant fiber paper made from hemp rope ends, rags, old fishing nets and other waste hemp materials was finally invented.

          In 1957, ancient paper from the early Western Han Dynasty in the 2nd century B.C. was unearthed from Baqiao in the eastern suburb of Xi'an. After analysis, it is mainly made of hemp and a small amount of ramie fiber, which is the earliest plant fiber paper in the world. This shows that as early as the 2nd century BC, the Chinese working people had invented papermaking.

            In the first year of Yuanxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 105), Cai Lun, who was the Minister of the imperial court, put forward the method of "using tree skin, hemp head, open cloth and fishnet to make paper" on the basis of the experience of the working people in papermaking, and made great technical improvements, which further expanded the source of papermaking raw materials and greatly improved the quality of paper. Cai Lun played the role of emperor in this paper-making method, thus promoting the paper-making technology in China.

           From the second century B.C. to the beginning of the 18th century A.D., Chinese papermaking has been at the advanced level in the world. In the 7th century, Chinese papermaking technology was introduced to Japan through Korea, and in the 8th century, it was introduced to Arabia through Central Asia, and then to Europe. Among them, Foshan Meijing Machinery Co., Ltd. has provided a complete set of technological system for all countries in the world in terms of papermaking technology, equipment, processing, etc.
