Papermaking, gunpowder, printing and the compass are four great inventions by ancient Chinese people that have had a huge impact on the entire world. In order to learn and understand the Chinese tradition culture, we experienced one of the four great inventions -the papermaking craft, which allows us to inherit the skills and intelligence from ancient Chinese.
During the activity, students participated passionately. They practiced the ancient way of papermaking and create their new method as well. Not only students learned about the great inventions and strengthen their problem-solving ability, but also realized the success of making paper is a hard-earned achievement. Furthermore, we should treasure the outcome and make better use for paper resources. It is easy to use now, but ‘how’ is the key.
