     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.
