Noting that paper came to Europe in the 12th century and Gutenberg invented typography only in the 15th century, the report observes: “In China, paper - making can be traced back to AD 105, when Ts’ai Lun first created a sheet of paper; as to printing, in [the] 9th century China already had wood block printing. ”
Märkides, et Euroopas hakati paberit kasutama 12. sajandil ja Gutenberg leiutas trükikunsti alles 15. sajandil, mainib teadaanne: „Hiinas võib leida esimesi teateid paberitegemise kohta aastast 105 a. D., mil Ts’ai Lun valmistas esimese paberilehe, ning mis puudutab trükikunsti, siis Hiinas tunti puitplaatidega trükkimist juba 9. sajandil. ”
