"Monks toilet emperor cut pro Jane, cheek to try it, few, if coupled with Shuji," said the monk to help Li Yu cut sticks, barbed afraid they personally face to test degree of smoothness. This is also from the side until the Song Dynasty, Chinese people have been treated with a stick excrement. Why is not paper?
