It is best to use Shengxuan when creating freehand Chinese painting or calligraphy. Raw Xuan paper has not been brushed with alum water, so it absorbs water quickly, and its pulling force is even greater than that of cooked Xuan. Suitable for creation. In fact, after you go to the market, tell the paper seller that he will recommend it to you, so don't bother.
Xuan paper for painting and calligraphy was originally produced in Jingxian County, Anhui Province, and it was called Xuanzhou in ancient times. Xuan paper is basically divided into two categories: raw Xuan and cooked Xuan. Shengxuan. Due to the different proportion of papermaking raw materials, it can be divided into: single Xuan (thinnest), single clip (thicker), clean skin, cotton material, double Xuan (two sheets and one sheet) and three-layer clip. Shengxuan has the characteristics of strong water absorption and is the main material of calligraphy and painting paper. It's better to hide it for a long time. The rice paper just produced is too white, so it feels angry. For a long time, the raw propaganda is soft in color, and the ink and color are more charming. In order to make the new raw propaganda achieve the effect of old paper, the paper can be hung in the tuyere for a period of time, and the raw propaganda paper treated in this way is called "wind paper". Familiar with publicity. It is the raw material for dyeing rubber alum, which has the characteristics of non-infiltration after water. If dyeing, sprinkling gold and other processes are carried out, a wide variety can be produced. The main varieties of cooked propaganda are: vegetarian propaganda, boiled rice, jade plate, cicada feather, cold gold, tiger skin and so on. Cooked propaganda should not be stored for a long time, and if it is stored for a long time, alum will be removed, and local ink seepage will occur. There are great differences in the quality of publicity materials, and the important criterion to distinguish the good from the bad is the display degree of Mo Yun, that is, the degree of so-called "ink wetting". High-quality health propaganda has the characteristics of "splashing ink, uninhibited and dripping; Thick ink, bright and bright; Light ink, distinct layers; The ink accumulation place is rich and deep. Generally, the method of testing Mo Yun display is the comparison method, which compares several different kinds of raw materials with ink. When testing, the ink should not be too thick, and it is difficult to produce subtle changes in ink color if it is too thick. Because of the different purity and pulpability of papermaking fiber, the ratio of kraft pulp to straw pulp, and the difference of manufacturing technology, the effect after inking is also different. After inking, the halo of ink exudation is clear and the rising force is even. Poor quality health propaganda, ink can not clearly show halo after seepage, ink is dull, or ink penetration is uneven. If you can't show the halo of ink color, there will be no ink rhyme, so you can't use it as paper for painting and calligraphy.
