The longest preserved drawing paper is Xuan paper.
Xuan paper is a traditional paper for painting and calligraphy in China, and it is one of the traditional paper-making processes of Han nationality. Xuan paper? Began in the Tang Dynasty and was produced in Jingxian County? Since the Tang Dynasty, Jingxian County was under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou Prefecture, and it was named Xuan Paper because of its land. It has a history of 1500 years. Because rice paper has the characteristics of easy storage, durability and colorfastness, there are? Paper lives for a thousand years? Fame. The raw materials of rice paper are green sandalwood, straw and other agricultural products. Xuan paper is divided into base paper and processed paper according to processing methods. According to the inking degree of paper, it is divided into raw publicity, semi-cooked publicity and cooked publicity. Cooked rice paper is a kind of processed rice paper that uses special reprocessing technology to form more varieties of colors, which are mainly divided into wax Xuan, alum Xuan, color Xuan, color alum Xuan and so on 100. The promotion of calligraphy and freehand brushwork, and the promotion of meticulous painting. According to the proportion of raw materials, it is divided into three categories: cotton material, cleansing skin and special cleansing skin. Specifications are four feet, five feet, six feet, seven feet gold list, eight feet screen, eight feet, two feet, six feet; According to the Silk Road, there are single silk road, double silk road, rib and turtle pattern. In 2002, Jingxian was identified as the origin of rice paper by the state. In 2006, the production technology of Xuan paper was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. Xing Chunrong was designated as the representative inheritor of national intangible cultural heritage projects. On September 30, 2009, the traditional production skills of Xuan paper were affirmed by UNESCO and included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of mankind.
Xuan paper is a kind of handmade paper handed down from Tang and Song Dynasties. For thousands of years, only the Cao Shi family in Xiaoxing, Jingxian County, Anhui Province has been hand-made from generation to generation. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the papermaking technology was quite mature and the quality was the best in the world. Xiaoling, Jingxian County, Anhui Province, used celadon bark as rice paper, which was not only for geographical reasons, but also for the wisdom of our ancestors. They have long discovered that celadon bark fiber is the best material for paper making. The bark of Pteroceltis tatarinowii is the phloem stripped from the branches of Pteroceltis tatarinowii. Two-to three-year-old Pteroceltis tatarinowii bark twigs are the most suitable, and the fiber is tough, slender and uniform, which is second to other fibers. In particular, Pteroceltis tatarinowii produced in Wuxi, Xiaoling, Jingxian County has excellent skin, slender, round and uniform fibers, thin cell walls and good ink particle adsorption performance. With the opening of China market, the demand for Xuan paper is increasing day by day, and the manufacturers of Xuan paper are also increasing. Nowadays, painters often buy some poor quality Xuan paper or fake Xuan paper (a kind of calligraphy and painting paper made of grass).
Xuan paper has ink absorption (water absorption). Because of the characteristics of water, the texture of calligraphy and painting embodies rich charm and flesh-and-blood moisturizing effect. With long-term quality assurance, it is conducive to preservation and collection. The advantage of Xuan paper lies in its excellent and unique ink wetting and retting effect, which can better reflect and maintain various ink colors and shades, and is very suitable for freehand brushwork Chinese painting.
Xuan paper selection
Flexibility (= flexibility)
After kneading the raw materials into a ball and ironing them, they can still be restored to their original appearance.
When you create a work on your birthday presentation, after the ink of the work is dry, even if you rub the written work at will, the framed work will still present a flat visual effect.
Especially in the production of rubbings, the flexibility of rice paper has been fully reflected. The tissue paper specially used for making rubbings can remain flexible, cracked and non-stop in a perfect state despite repeated slapping.
Wet dyeability
When buying rice paper in a store, the easiest way to judge whether it is raw or cooked is to test it with water. When the water drops on the rice paper, the raw rice gradually spreads around, while the cooked rice does not spread immediately or no longer. We call the phenomenon that water droplets gradually spread around health promotion as wet dyeing characteristics. Health promotion has strong wet dyeing, and the degree of wet dyeing of different health promotion papers is also different. This wet dyeing can enhance the charm and layering of Chinese painting performance. When applied to calligraphy creation, the writer has a strong writing skill, which can drive the ink to wet dye and wash well. We can make use of the four-stream characteristics of ink falling into paper to turn ink into inward penetration. In this way, the ink left on the surface of the paper penetrates into the inside of the paper. When the writer practices skillful writing skills, the winning wet dyeing makes the written font full and strong, and the ink line will show a round and three-dimensional visual impact after the work is mounted.
Because of the unique wet dyeing of health promotion, writing becomes more and more difficult. Therefore, calligraphy practice, as a practical behavior to improve life accomplishment, needs long-term cultivation to achieve the expected goal. For wet dyeing, it can exercise the writer's inner self-restraint and self-cohesion, and it is also a way to test the writer's patience and character.
Ink absorption
In addition to wet dyeing characteristics, Shengxuan also has strong ink absorption performance. The wet dyeing characteristics of the winning selection are caused by the characteristics of water, and the wet dyeing phenomenon caused by writing with light ink is obvious, while the wet dyeing degree caused by writing with thick ink is relatively weak.
The ink absorption of Xuan paper is closely related to its internal structure and ink used. Water goes to ink? Is this characteristic properly displayed by everyone, and it is also very small? Ink particles? Use the internal fibers of rice paper? Pipeline structure? Therefore, the quality of ink (paste ink for creation) and the quality of paper are the biggest factors affecting the color effect of ink.
It is the wet dyeability of Shengxuan that makes it have strong ink absorption. In terms of wet dyeing, Shengxuan's strong ink absorption makes it have a unique wet dyeing effect. On the contrary, Shengxuan's strong ink absorption makes it have a unique wet dyeing effect. The two complement each other, which makes the paintings and calligraphy works created by Sheng Xuan have strong visual effects and unique charm.
difficulty
Just like climbing a peak, although it is difficult, challenging pursuit has always been the spirit of human forge ahead. In the field of calligraphy and painting creation, the use of Shengxuan makes calligraphy shine because of its difficulty in writing. Here, we focus on the phenomenon of writing difficulty and explain its significance, which can spur people who like painting and calligraphy.
Because of the difficulty of propaganda, many people are discouraged, which makes it difficult for many people to make achievements in the field of calligraphy and painting in China.
The difficulty of writing health propaganda language is reflected in pen and ink. The reason why the ink on the surface of health promotion paper is difficult to flow freely is because of the strong astringency of health promotion, which makes it difficult to use ink.
Imagine that once we go beyond the astringency of life propaganda writing, writers can feel the fullness and strong sense of brushwork produced by astringent writing; Starting from practicing Tai Chi Shu Dao, it is to let you enter extrasensory feeling. You can improve your writing level step by step in this kind of astringent writing, and finally you can have a deep feeling about writing bit by bit. Adversity? Sail against the current, experience the taste of retreating if you don't advance, and let you taste the happiness step by step in your continuous efforts.
Difficulties such as resistance, raw rice paper surface such as anti-slip agent. When you write on paper, you find that the friction increases, so it is not easy for you to write. Once you have overcome the friction between pen and paper and run in seamlessly, your writing will be able to break through the dilemma.
light
Xuan paper is held in your hand or hung under the bracket. When the hanging rice paper is blown by the wind, the thin rice paper will float. It is precisely because of this lightness and thinness that Taiji Shudao method created the suspended writing training method. Suspended writing means writing (painting) on suspended rice paper. This kind of hanging writing can also be called light writing. When the paper is suspended, the raw rice paper of the stressed object cannot be fixed. Wonderful? Land. By writing on suspended paper, we can deeply understand the relationship between soft brush and special ink effect and raw rice paper, and realize the importance of conscious activity in writing.
Without the lightness of Xuan paper, the hanging performance in Taiji Shudao practice could not be carried out. The following article will analyze hanging writing. Through the practice of hanging writing, we can have a brand-new understanding of people's spiritual activities, which provides a promising way for us to explore and improve our writing level and realm.
insist on
Because in the process of making rice paper, lignin, protein and other unstable elements are removed to the greatest extent, almost all fibers are relatively stable, which makes rice paper stable and not easy to change, on the other hand, it is relatively pure and not easy to be eaten by insects, and it is the paper carrier with the longest preservation time since ancient times. Paper life refers to this characteristic, which has been successfully demonstrated by professional researchers in a simulated environment.
support
As can be seen from the above, although it is difficult to write on raw rice paper, when you are proficient in writing, wait for you to skillfully write the fonts into the rice paper, and when the ink is dry, soak the dried raw rice paper in clear water. Even if it is soaked for a long time, the raw rice paper with ink will not flow away, that is, the ink will not melt because it is soaked in water. This phenomenon is the performance of the adhesion of rice paper.
Raw rice paper is adhesive, which makes painting and calligraphy more artistic after mounting.
The adhesion of raw rice paper is related to the ink absorption mentioned above. The premise of this adhesion is that raw rice paper has strong ink absorption, even if you use dry raw rice paper to wipe your hands, you will not get ink.
