Quote from leileilol
paper
I know the Chineese invented paper and even money. But could you specifie with like year, when it was invented, and pls get me wrong, there are a lot of inventions made by Chineese. I could even mention some, like black powdre. But what i asked for was some background, like name of the inventore, if there is one! like i know black powder could be hard and so couild paper, but at least some history behind it. Like leileilol at least you should have some history behind the inventions? And you as Chineese should have more knowledge then then some of us like the year and name of the inventore and why and how and such.
