Object description

Cai Lun (Kinesiska: 蔡倫, Cài Lún, Wade-Giles: Ts'ai Lun), född omkring år 50, död år 121, var en eunuck och kinesisk minister från Guiyang i provinsen Hunan under kejsare He.

Cai Lun dokumenterade omkring år 105 e. Kr. pappersframställningen i östra Han-riket och räknas som uppfinnaren av tekniken för tillverkning av papper genom att avvattna en fibersuspension på en viraduk. Även om papper hade tillverkats i Kina sedan 100-talet f. Kr., var Cai Lun ansvarig för signifikanta förbättringar och standardisering av papperstillverkningen genom nya apparatkonstruktioner för tillverkningsprocessen.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
