Longest chinese dynasty Chao or Zhou

Sorry to tell ya but, papyrus is not paper. I am sure that some here may argue that it depends on your definition or how to prequalify it, but no, papyrus is not paper.

The making of paper involved a very complex process (for the time) and not just flattening and smoothing it. In fact, although the materials used to make paper has changed over time, the process we use today is still the same (and based on the same principles) the Chinese used so long ago. Neither the technological sophistication or the quality of the papyrus ever came close to the early Chinese papers.

In fact, if we are to define papyrus as "paper," I would claim that there were many forms of "paper" that far predates the papyrus. For instance, although it may be a stretch to claim rocks, bones and bamboo rods as paper, if we define paper as simply something to write on, these would definitely apply.

Furthermore, although bamboo was used to bind books in early days in China, silk was used for important documents. If we are to define the term so loosely then silk would also be a form of paper, just one that has other uses.

Mulberry paper was invented in 105 (BC?) during Han Dynasty, which lasted only for 400 years overall.

But can someone confirm if the Zhou king actually preferred agriculture to technology because people would be peaceful and ignorant and not rebell?

Joseph Needham the world most renounced professor in chinese history believed paper was invented in 300bc, if not later . he placed paper invention in the time of period of warring states. warring states was still in the period of Zhou.
