Han Dynast map

This is a map of the Han dynasty in 206 B.C. The orange shading represents how much land, emporer Lui Bang ruled. The green and blue dotted line represents the Great Wall of China, and the black dotted line represent the current boundaries of China and Mongolia, because China is now ruled by a different dynasty. The Han dynasty was in part of Himalayas and the Gobi desert as well. Each city was bordered by a strong wall and was neatly laid out with alleyways and main streets. Chang'an was Han's first capital city.

Editorial

     The invention of paper during the Han dynasty, was a very big event and was a great impact on education. Paper was used for remembering things and keeping records of important events. paper was a very important invention because we still use it today, even though it's made out of new and different material, that they didn't use. They used Twine, broken cloth, and unused net. today, our paper is easily made out of bark from trees.
     if they didn't come up with the idea and invention of paper, then it would have taken a lot longer, afterward, for people to come up with the idea. If we didn't have paper, we wouldn't be able to write and keep track of records. I don't think school would be "school" if paper the idea of paper was'nt invented. For China, paper was a good thing, because it helped the emperor keep records and it was cheap and easy to find, which people liked, including the emporer. During the Han dynasty, paper led to education becoming more important, and paper definitely helped education have an great impact on people.
     Before there was paper, people used turtle shell, animal bone, golden stone, bamboo slips, wood, and cloth, to keep records, and such. There were a lot of difficulties with these items, for writing. The animal bone couldn't be found easily, the stone was too heavy, good cloth was very expensive, and people complained, bamboo slips and wooden boards, took up too much space. Paper had none of these flaws. It was cheap and easy to find. paper was a very good thing for China, because we wouldn't be able to have the paper that we have today, if it weren't for China and the idea and invention of paper.

Paper?

    
      We're used to the turtle shells, animal bone, golden stone, bamboo slips, wood, and cloth, for remembering things, and writing things down. Yesterday, They found out about the invention of paper. It is said, that Cai Lun, who was eunuch of the Han dynasty, came up with the idea of paper. Education is starting to become more important, so could this be the next big step toward education?    
     there are many troubles with the animal bone, golden stone, bamboo slips, wood, and cloth. The animal bone was very hard to find, and the golden stone was very heavy. The good type of cloth costs a lot of money for everyone to write on, and people complain the bamboo slips and wooden boards take up too much space. during this time period, there is a great need for a cheap and easy way to get writing. After lots of practice, paper has finally been invented with twine, broken cloth, and unused net. 
     People are hearing that they think this could be a great contribution to the spread and development of civilization and education. Cai Lun was given a couple promotions, so far under the rule of emperor He. people are also spilling rumors saying that he was credited with an invention of someone in the lower class.
Emperor He is very pleased with this invention that Cai Lun created. he will be granted with an aristocrat title and lots of wealth.
