What kind of China Xuan paper is better? What's the point?

The softness and lightness of rice paper are not only different in materials, but also different in manufacturing technology. The selection of Xuan paper is closely related to the geography of Jingxian county, its origin. As Pteroceltis tatarinowii is one of the main local tree species, Pteroceltis tatarinowii bark has become the main raw material of rice paper. Moreover, rice is grown locally, and a large amount of straw has become one of the raw materials. Jingxian County is accompanied by Qingge River and Xin 'anjiang River, which laid the foundation of Jingxian Xuan paper industry. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, bamboo, hemp, mulberry, bamboo and hemp were added to the raw materials, and then it was expanded to more than ten kinds. After soaking, ashing, cooking, bleaching, pulping, water fishing, gluing, flood pasting and other 18 processes, it can be made after one year. Production process The production center of Xuan paper is Jingxian County. The raw materials it produces are mainly ebony trees, which are a specialty of mountainous areas in southern Anhui, and some straw. After a long period of soaking, ashing, cooking, washing, bleaching, pulping, fishing, gluing, pasting and baking, it takes more than one year to make high-quality rice paper. The rice paper can be divided into cotton, leather and baking according to the raw materials. "Extra clean skin" is a fine product in Xuan paper, which has the advantages of great tension, strong toughness and good ink splashing performance, and is deeply loved by the majority of painters and painters. Some people praised Xuan paper as "as thin as cicada wings, as white as snow, and as trembling as filaments." A picture, a chapter, all in rice paper and glossy. The traditional method of cutting rice paper is to steam the branches of sandalwood, then soak them, peel them, dry them in the sun, add lime and soda ash (or soda ash), steam them again, remove impurities, wash them, tear them into thin strips, and they will turn white after drying in the sun and rain. Then beat the thin strips into glue: beat the treated leather and forage separately, add plant glue (such as carambola juice) and mix well, make paper with bamboo curtain, brush it on the kang to dry, and cut it into sheets. The tools used in each production process of rice paper are very particular. For example, bamboo curtains for fishing paper need bitter bamboo with straight texture, long seams and loose texture. The choice of rice paper is also very particular. The bark of Pteroceltis tatarinowii is better with branches over two years, and the straw is generally straw grown in battlefield (its lignin and ash content is lower than that of straw grown in ordinary mud field). In the papermaking mode of Taiwan Province Province, raw materials include goose skin and mulberry skin, which belong to bast. Raw materials are soaked, boiled, washed and bleached, screened to remove impurities, and beaten, so as to stir and separate fibers, dilute them with water, and put them into a proportional binder (dispersant) to make paper pulp, which can be made into paper. Paper-making is to throw the pulp in with bamboo curtain and wooden frame. After throwing, the fiber is deposited on the bamboo curtain and the water is removed. After the handmade paper is finished, take out the bamboo curtain and fold it with thread. When water is lost, the density can be increased by heavy pressure, and then the paper can be baked. Paper drying is to use steam to generate heat on a sealed iron plate, roll paper by hand with long wooden strips, scrape it flat with a brush, indirectly heat the paper to dry it, and at the same time carry out quality inspection, which is the finished rice paper.
