Making paper and movable-type prints

At Yinghua Academy, tourists can learn two of the four great inventions of ancient China – paper-making and printing. Here they can take classes to make paper that was invented by Cai Lun, an official in the Eastern Han dynasty (25-220) and print a work on their own with movable type invented by Bi Sheng during the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127)
