'''Paper''' is a material used for writing, printing, wrapping, and other uses.  It is a thin material made of fibers, usually [[cellulose]] from [[wood]] pulp or from other plant fibers such as [[rice]].  The word paper comes from [[papyrus]], which was an early form of writing material used in ancient [[Egypt]]. Papyrus however, is not paper - it is reed strips pounded together. True paper, or paper made from the cellulose and wood pulp of plant materials, was invented in the [[Han Dynasty]] around the 2nd century B.C.
