Classification by processing method
Xuan paper can generally be divided into two types: Xuan paper base paper and processed paper. After the last baking process, the paper properties (good or bad and ink color effect) have been basically determined. This finished paper "unaffected by subsequent processing" is the base paper of Xuan paper. Processed paper refers to paper that is reprocessed on the basis of base paper, such as changing paper properties and visual effects-excluding "cutting only according to size", such as printing, alum, polishing, etc. . .
According to the ink level on the paper.
Xuan paper can be divided into raw Xuan paper, semi-cooked Xuan paper and cooked Xuan paper, which has strong water absorption and immersion, and is easy to produce rich Mo Yun changes. By splashing and accumulating ink, the artistic effect of gathering water and opening ink is achieved. Used for freehand brushwork. Although Sheng Xuan's paintings are full of interest in ink, they are written immediately, and ink permeates quickly, which is not easy to master. Cooked rice paper
Cooked Xuan is coated with alum when it is processed, so the paper is harder than raw Xuan, and its water absorption capacity is weak, and the ink color will not spread when it is used. Therefore, the characteristics make cooked propaganda suitable for meticulous painting rather than ink freehand painting. Its disadvantage is that it will appear "alum leakage" or brittle crack when stored for a long time. Cooked Xuan can be reprocessed. Coral, mica paper, cold gold, wine gold, glutinous golden flower tendon and peach tiger skin are all reprocessed colored papers. Health promotion is highly absorbent. When writing with light ink, the ink easily penetrates and melts. It is relatively easy to write in thick ink. Therefore, when creating calligraphy and painting, you need to master the shade of ink to be handy. Semi-cooked Xuan is also processed from raw Xuan, and its water absorption capacity is between the first two. Yu Ban Xuan belongs to this category. The simple way to distinguish between raw propaganda and cooked propaganda is to dip paper with water. Health propaganda is the time when the water is dispersed immediately, and cooked propaganda is the time when the condensation is basically unchanged. Half-cooked propaganda (also called boiling hammer propaganda) spreads slowly.
Rice paper varieties are classified according to the proportion of raw materials.
It can be divided into three categories: cotton, skin cleansing and ultra-clean; Five-character pastel couplet rice paper
Generally speaking, cotton material refers to the paper with raw material sandalwood bark accounting for about 40%, which is thinner and lighter; Peeling means that the content of sandalwood bark reaches more than 60%; The content of sandalwood skin, the raw material of special leather, is above 80%. The heavier the leather composition, the greater the tension that the paper can bear and the better the quality; The corresponding use effect is: the higher the proportion of sandalwood, the richer the ink layers, the better the ink moistening effect, and the more able to withstand repeated rubbing with pen power without damaging the paper surface. This may also be one of the reasons why cotton Xuan paper is mostly used for calligraphy and leather paper is mostly used for painting-it's not that you can't write with clean leather or special leather paper, but cotton Xuan paper can basically meet the needs of calligraphy (unless your calligraphy style requires repeated painting in the same place with a pen).
Rice paper varieties are classified according to specifications.
Can be divided into three feet, four feet, five feet, six feet, eight feet, two feet, six feet;
Xuan paper is classified by thickness.
It can be divided into tying flowers, picking cotton, single announcement, re-announcement, double announcement, two-layer and multi-layer and so on.
Xuan paper is classified by paper grain.
Can be divided into single silk road, double silk road, rib, turtle pattern, special type and so on;

raw material
The selection of Xuan paper is closely related to the geographical environment of Jingxian county, where it is produced. As Pteroceltis tatarinowii is one of the main local tree species, Pteroceltis tatarinowii bark has become the main raw material of rice paper. At the beginning, there was no straw as raw material. Later, in the process of leather processing, straw was used to fill the pile feet, and it was found that it could also become white pulp. Later, straw became one of the main raw materials of rice paper. Among the straws, Jingxian high-quality Shatian long-stalk indica rice is the best. This is because this kind of straw is more fibrous than ordinary straw, not easy to rot and easy to bleach naturally, so there has been such a saying since ancient times: "I would rather have Jingxian grass than Tongling skin." 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, adding glue, flood pasting and other 18 processes, it can be made in one year. In addition, in the pulping process, carambola juice should be added to the pulp, because it contains gum, which can make the pulp more uniform, and the removed wet paper is easy to accumulate and improve the paper yield. Therefore, carambola, also known as kiwifruit, has become an indispensable raw material. Printing spectrum of packaged rice paper
technical characteristics
Xuan paper folding fan
Xuan paper [1] has the characteristics of "tough and moist, smooth but not slippery, white and dense, pure texture, no loss of rubbing, strong ink wetting", and has unique permeability and lubricity. Writing about bones and gods, painting about qi, has become a calligraphy and painting paper that can best reflect China's artistic style. The so-called "ink is divided into five colors", that is, it is completed in one stroke, the depth is dark, the texture is visible, and the Mo Yun is clear and distinct. This is the artist's artistic effect of controlling the proportion of ink by using the moistening property of rice paper, and the pen is slow and smooth. Coupled with aging resistance, no discoloration, less moth-eaten, long life, it has the reputation of "the king of paper and the paper with a thousand years of life". /kloc-won the gold medal in Panama International Paper Competition in the 20th century. Besides painting poems, Xuan paper is also the best paper for writing diplomatic notes and preserving high-level archives and historical materials. China handed down a large number of rare ancient books and the ink of famous painters and calligraphers, most of which are preserved on Xuan paper, and still remain the same today.
