The origin of rubber records the discovery and application of rubber by ancestors in South America more than 1,000 years ago.
At that time, the ancestors of South America made natural rubber latex into balls for entertainment.
The latex is applied to the shoes, and when it condenses into layers of adhesive film, a pair of waterproof shoe covers is made;They also made containers such as rubber bottles for holding water and even rubber boats that can carry people.

On his second expedition to discover the Americas in 1493-1496, the navigator Columbus saw the natives in Haiti playing with a gumball that bounced off the ground. Columbus thought it was funny and strange and brought it back to Europe after his second expedition (the discovery is detailed in Spanish historical documents).

Since then, people in Europe have known rubber (natural rubber), and at first people in Europe did not know the name of rubber, only to know that the local rubber tree is called the weeping tree, that is, Cahuchu.

Later, people found that rubber can erase pencil writing, so the English word rubbe, Chinese rubber.
