1. Soft and dense texture
When choosing paper, the texture is the most important. Poor quality paper is not only easy to damage the pen, but also difficult to keep. Famous papers in ancient and modern times are all famous for their quality, such as honesty paper, dense as seal and jade board, which claim to be flexible and durable. The toughness and compactness of paper are the best, which can be known by visual inspection when choosing.
2. White
Paper is not white, because the raw materials are not good, or the water quality is not good. The extremely white jade board is made of ebony, and the bookcase is made of "Huan flower bed water", all of which are examples. If it is dyed, it must be pure white and natural paper. However, the dyed paper is not easy to spread for a long time. If you want the work to be placed in the Palace Museum in a hundred years, you'd better avoid using it. White is not white, you can understand it with your eyes. I don't need to say more about this.
2. The surface smoothness is moderate.
The surface of paper can be divided into smooth and rough; Smooth and solid pen, but if it is too slippery and too light, there is no pen power, while if it is rough, it is easy to get pen power, but if it is too rough, it is difficult to write and damage the nib. The so-called "fine but not astringent" is also true. This can be distinguished by vision and touch, so I won't say much.
3. Medium ink absorption
The paper must be able to feed ink, otherwise the ink floats on the paper, which is easy to fall off and cannot be stored for a long time. Generally speaking, Xuan paper has strong ink absorption, while paper is the opposite. Ink absorption is too strong. If you use the pen slowly, dots and pictures will become ink balls. But if the ink absorption is too weak, the ink is not easy to enter the paper, so it is not suitable. Therefore, when choosing paper, we should consider the style of the book and the speed of personal pen lifting. It is better that ink can be fed into paper but not in a "ball". If the store allows, we can only try it in ink when we try it.
Xuan paper is mainly divided into raw Xuan and cooked Xuan, and semi-cooked Xuan paper.
Generally speaking, calligraphy is written by students.
Shengxuan is unprocessed, with strong water absorption and hydrophilicity, and it is easy to produce rich Mo Yun changes. By splashing and accumulating ink, the artistic effect of collecting water, blooming ink and emphasizing color is achieved.
Cooked propaganda is processed with alum water, and the ink is not easy to penetrate, so it is painted neatly and carefully, and can be repeatedly rendered and colored, which is suitable for meticulous painting.
Generally speaking, pay attention to the above points when buying rice paper, and you can buy the rice paper you want.
