If you hold Shengxuan in your hand, you will find it soft to the touch. Even if it is kneaded into a ball, it can be restored after unfolding, but cooked rice paper does not have this characteristic. If you want to distinguish between raw rice paper and cooked rice paper, you can test it with water. If the water drops on the rice paper slowly spread around, it is raw rice paper. If you don't spread it out immediately or not, it is cooked rice paper, which is a unique wet dyeing of raw rice paper.
Ink absorption extends from wet dyeing. It is precisely because of the strong wet dyeing of Shengxuan that it has a strong ink absorption ability, and it can have a incisive taste when writing, and at the same time improve the charm and texture of calligraphy and painting, so as to achieve a bright effect.
