Legend has it that, one day, hewatched a wasp making its nest by chewing up pieces of bamboo, mixing them with its own saliva and working the resultant ball into a flat sheet with its feet and using the sheet to build a wall in its nest. He copied the wasp, making a paste of bamboo and water and spreading the flat sheet to dry in the sun. Knowledge of his work spread slowly - to the Arabs in the 8th century and into Europe only in the late 14th century.
