It is said that the golden inkstone paper was first created by Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Southern Liang Dynasty. The paper is coated with a layer of gold powder, which makes the paper smoother and more delicate, and is convenient for writing and painting. Later, gold inkstone paper gradually spread and became one of the important materials in China's painting and calligraphy art.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the production technology of Jin Yan paper gradually matured, and its quality and value were further improved. Jin Yan paper has become an important part of China's traditional culture, and its manufacturing technology is also inherited and developed.
