What is the development history of packaging in China?

It is uncertain when the earliest packaging in China was produced, but what is certain is that the earliest packaging products were directly taken from nature. I still remember the plot of cooked food vendors wrapping beef with lotus leaves in the TV series "Water Margin". It is speculated that people in primitive times had no choice but to get leaves, skins, vines and stones from nature to package food and articles. Later, with the progress of the times and the development of technology, packaging gradually changed from simple to exquisite. The compilation of various baskets and the use of ropes should be regarded as the earliest packaging products after packaging leaves, vines and leather. Their raw materials are taken from natural plants such as bamboo, trees and hemp. After people's processing, they hand-made exquisite baskets and ropes for packaging food and daily necessities. When you see this, you will say, what did the ancients use to hold water and wine? The earliest packaging container used to hold these things must be stone, whose shape is directly selected from nature and can be used to hold liquid water. Later, with the progress of people's technology, they began to use stones from nature as raw materials for polishing, and made polished stone tools for packaging such as liquid water and wine. From the packaging point of view, pottery produced in Neolithic Age can not only package food, but also store water and wine, and has been widely used for hundreds of years. Of course, after that, there also appeared the packaging of bronzes, porcelain, jade, silk and so on. But because of the high cost of these packages, they are not widely used. The application time of paper as packaging is unknown, but in the early days of papermaking, it is certain that paper was only used by nobles and dignitaries for writing and painting. After Cai Lun improved papermaking, paper became cheap and widely used. The use of paper has developed from the initial writing to the packaging of food, tea and Chinese herbal medicine. The wrapping paper of tea leaves is called "tea shirt"; The traditional Chinese medicine pill "wilting pill" unearthed from the tomb of Astana Tang in Xinjiang was wrapped in white hemp paper, and the words "take 15 pills every time before going to bed" were even written on the paper.

Looking back on the packaging history of China, we can easily find that the development of packaging law is closely related to the development of human society, which reflects the social form and economic situation of an era. Nowadays, all countries in the world are striving to promote green economy and environmental protection economy, and people pay more attention to health, safety and environmental protection, so paper packaging is more popular with customers than plastic packaging.
