The first toilet paper was produced by the Bureau of Imperial Supplies in China, which made 720,000 sheets measuring 2ft by 3ft, for the emperor, in AD 1391.Or is it according to Toiletpaperworld, which also notes,
Fiber paper was the first kind of paper, and the first batch was made out of hemp in ancient China. Fiber paper is thin, tough, brittle, and a bit rough.Ouch. Anyway, that would be 朱元璋 Zhū Yuánzhāng, the 洪武 Hóngwǔ Emperor (r. 1368-1398).
