• 造紙術(shù)是中國四大發(fā)明之一，由東漢宦官蔡倫改進(jìn)并推廣，距今已有 1900 余年歷史。它以樹皮、麻頭、舊布和漁網(wǎng)等為原料，通過浸泡、搗碎、抄紙、晾曬等步驟，制成質(zhì)地輕薄、書寫順滑的紙張，極大降低了書寫材料的成本。造紙術(shù)的出現(xiàn)促進(jìn)了知識(shí)的廣泛傳播與文化交流，為東亞乃至世界文明的發(fā)展提供了重要物質(zhì)基礎(chǔ)。7 世紀(jì)后，造紙技術(shù)經(jīng)絲綢之路傳至中亞、阿拉伯和歐洲，深刻影響了世界印刷史。如今，中國傳統(tǒng)手工造紙被列入國家級(jí)非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄，許多匠人結(jié)合植物染、文化創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)品等新元素，使古老技藝在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)煥發(fā)新生。

  參考翻譯

  Papermaking, one of China’s Four Great Inventions, was refined and popularized by the Eastern Han court official Cai Lun nearly 1,900 years ago. Using tree bark, hemp refuse, worn cloth, and fishing nets, artisans soaked, pounded, screened, and sun-dried the pulp to create lightweight, smooth sheets that dramatically reduced the cost of writing materials. The invention spurred the wide dissemination of knowledge and cultural exchange, laying a crucial material foundation for civilizations across East Asia and beyond. After the seventh century, papermaking traveled westward along the Silk Road to Central Asia, the Arab world, and eventually Europe, leaving an indelible mark on global printing history. Today, Chinese hand-made papermaking is listed as national intangible cultural heritage; contemporary craftsmen infuse the age-old craft with plant dyes and creative cultural products, breathing new life into this ancient technique.
