Ts'ai Lin, a **** ( noun a castrated man, esp. one formerly employed by Oriental rulers as a harem guard or palace official) in the court of the Emperor Ho Ti, is credited with the creation of a paper made from the bark of the mulberry tree which was combined with bamboo fibres, hemp and flax around 105AD.
