The Invention of Paper
Papermaking became an important industry in China. For more than 500 years, the Chinese were the only people in the world who knew the secret of making paper.
From China, knowledge of papermaking traveled to Japan and across Central Asia. Europeans probably first learned about this art 1100, much later on.

Invention #2: Printing
The invention of paper made another key development possible
-- printing.

Printing
In about the seventh century, the Chinese invented a technique called woodblock printing. The printer first drew characters (symbols) on paper. He then glued the paper to a wooden block. When the glue was dry, the printer carved out the wood around the characters, leaving the characters raised on the wood.

Printing, cont.
To print from the block, the printer covered the characters with black ink. Then he spread the paper over the block and smoothed the paper with a brush. Some artists still use block printing today to create fine art prints.
17
Printing, cont.
By the 8th century, there was an entire woodblock printing industry in China. Printers turnd out religious works on scrolls. In the 10th century, they started printing modern-style books with pages.

Steel
The earliest Chinese steel was made from cast iron. They were the first to learn how to make cast iron by melting and molding crude iron. Later, they learned that blowing air onto molten (melted) cast iron causes a chemical reaction that creates steel.
