[China Packaging Network News] Small partners all know that paper is one of the four ancient inventions in our country, but you know why plants can be used to make paper? What plants can be used to make paper? Let's find out! What made the paper? In fact, the principle of paper making is actually very simple, that is, the use of intertwined fibers between the role of the paste-like plant materials gathered into thin slices. Plant fiber is a very special and important type of plant wall thick tissue cells, usually narrow strip, tip sharp, most of dead cells, with the function of mechanical support plant growth, so that the plant compressive and tensile , Anti-song scratch, stand upright stems, leaves and other flat. " Thick-walled tissue " means that the cell walls of such cells are significantly thickened, sometimes thick enough to leave only a single gap in the cell compartment. They exist extensively in various parts of various plant maturations and are always clustered together to form what we commonly call " fiber bundles . " The so-called " unity is power " , single fiber cells insignificant, but closely integrated into the vascular bundle, the anti-tearing capacity will be greatly enhanced, the flexibility is also a higher level. This unique cell " personality " , is the cornerstone of human invention of paper. When using bamboo curtains to pick up the pulp, numerous fiber bundles intertwined irregularly intertwined, tangled, there is a preliminary look of paper - paper film. Paper made of bamboo One of the most commonly used raw materials for plants in the Ming Dynasty is bamboo. Bamboo is a collective name for the subfamily bamboo subfamily. Poaceae are the superfamily of the plant kingdom, most closely related to humans, and we come into contact with members of the grass family almost daily, such as wheat, rice, corn, sorghum ... At present, there are about 88 genera and 1,400 species of bamboo subfamily known in Asia, the Americas, the Pacific Islands, northern Australia and Africa, mostly in Madagascar, Central America and North America. There are no wild bamboo species in Europe except for cultivation. There are about 34 genera and 530 species of bamboo in China , which are naturally distributed in the Yangtze River valley and its south, with a few species extending northward to the Qinling, Hanshui and Yellow River basins. In fact, if the definition of " paper " is expanded , the Chinese will make use of bamboo as their carrier of writing much earlier than the Tang Dynasty, which began to flourish with bamboo paper products. In the costume plays on the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han dynasties, we often read that at that time, the ancients read and wrote the " bamboo paper " that was bulky and stringy together , which is Bamboo. Also useful for making " paper " , called clogs. do you know? Bamboo slips and clogs, collectively known as ç‰ ç‰, are the most commonly used vehicles for writing the ancients before their popularity.
