现代造纸技术始于两千年前的中国。这种工艺使用织物、稻草、木材和树皮造纸。这些原材料经过反复捶捣直至其结构松散(即造纸过程中的帚化)，然后与水混合。

Large machines started to be used for making paper near the end of the sixteenth century. Today, paper-making is a big business. But it is still possible to make paper by hand, since the steps are the same as using big machines.
16世纪末开始使用大型机器造纸。今天造纸已成为一项巨大产业。但是仍然可以手工造纸，因为其流程和大型机器造纸并无区别。
You should use paper with small amounts of printing. Old envelopes are good for this reason. Colored paper also can be used, as well as small amounts of newspaper. Small pieces of rags or cloth can be added. These should be cut into pieces about five centimeters by five centimeters.
你可以使用少量的印刷纸张造纸，旧信封就是很好的原材料，彩纸和少量报纸也可以。还可以加入一些小块烂布或织物。这些原材料需要剪切成5厘米见方的小方块。
