中国人最早开办的机器造纸厂是大官僚李鸿章创办的伦章造纸局,它也是中国最早的私营机器造纸厂。造纸是我国四大发明之一。我国传统的手工造纸业在历史上曾有很大的发展。即使在一九三二年,全国手工造纸的产量仍有三十二万余吨。但是,手工造纸的效率比机器造纸低得多。我国的机器造纸始自1891年李鸿章在上海创办的伦章造纸局。早在伦章造纸局建立之前,美商曾在上海杨树浦路兴建了上海华章造纸厂,这大概是在中国出现的第一家机器造纸厂。伦章造纸局厂址亦在杨树浦。1891年由李鸿章等人发起设立,为民间资本经营,该厂雇有外藉技师一人,中国工人约 The earliest Chinese-run machine paper mill was the Lunzhang Papermaking Bureau founded by the official Li Hongzhang. It was also the earliest privately owned machine paper mill in China. Papermaking is one of China’s four major inventions. The traditional handmade papermaking industry in China has experienced great development in history. Even in 1932, the output of handmade paper in the country still exceeded 320,000 tons. However, hand-made papermaking is much less efficient than machine papermaking. China’s machine papermaking began in 1891 when Li Hongzhang established the Zhangzhang Papermaking Bureau in Shanghai. As early as before the establishment of the Lunzhang Papermaking Bureau, the American merchants had built Shanghai Huazhang Paper Mill on Yangshupu Road in Shanghai, which was probably the first machine paper mill in China. The Lunzhang Paper Mill site is also in Yangshupu. In 1891, it was initiated and established by Li Hongzhang and others. It operates for private capital. The factory employs one foreign technician and the Chinese workers approx.
