● General introduction of rice paper varieties;
cooked propaganda:
clay gold paper and clay silver paper
(mainly produced in Jingxian County, Anhui Province, as long as it is a rice paper craft factory, it can produce clay gold colored gold paper with uneven quality. The top-grade clay gold paper is smooth and easy to ink but not gray, with Jiao Mo as the top grade)
gold paper (mainly fine brushwork flowers, birds and landscapes, small letters, Of course, the quality is also significantly different)
Alum propaganda (Alum propaganda is better for customization, and it is the top grade with strong tensile force and repeated rendering, and there is no representative brand for the time being. The quality of red star alum is relatively stable)
Semi-cooked rice paper:
Tofu Paper (made with tofu water)
Boiling hammer paper/water grain paper/tiger skin paper/betel nut paper/(processed with alum water gel)
Pollen paper/pastel paper/(screen printed)
Raw rice paper:
Pure cotton leather with special leather. Calligraphy and painting paper is a kind of ordinary calligraphy and painting paper with low price; Xuan paper is generally used for painting and calligraphy creation; Calligraphy and painting paper is the practice paper for beginners of calligraphy and painting. Their similarity is that they have ink absorption. Although there are similarities between Xuan paper and calligraphy paper, there are essential differences between them.
It is mainly reflected in four aspects:
1. Ingredients of raw materials; Second, the production process; Third, the use effect; Fourth, the preservation time.
There are two divisions:
First, naked eye discrimination: Pick up the paper and look at it in the light, and you will find that the rice paper is covered with cloud-like filaments, which are sandalwood fibers; You can also find the ribs of the grass (there are always 8 to 1 strips 2-3 mm long on a piece of paper). On the other hand, the calligraphy and painting paper made of Chinese alpine rush is not only absent, but relatively speaking, it is too white.
second: inking method: use a pen to trace four kinds of ink marks, which are lighter, lighter, thicker and thicker, on the same place on the paper, and observe the inking effect of the paper. If it is Xuan paper, it can clearly show the pen marks and layers, while painting and calligraphy paper is blurred at the overlap of pen marks, especially after absorbing heavy and thick ink, the paper will break because of poor fiber degree, so people generally adopt the first method when identifying paper; Professionals often use two methods of identification.
● Red Star Xuan Paper Packaging
Red Star brand Xuan paper is a famous brand product recognized by the industry, calligraphy and painting art circles in Four Treasures of the Study, China, which has been leading the development trend of the Xuan paper industry and is the object of imitation by the whole industry in Four Treasures of the Study.

● how to store red star rice paper?
1. Moisture-proof of Xuan paper: Xuan paper is characterized by excellent water absorption, so when we store Xuan paper, we must pay attention to the fact that the room must be dry and well ventilated, and it can be placed in the high place of the room and wrapped with soft paper. The newly bought Xuan paper should be stripped of its outer packaging, which is kraft paper with a layer of waterproof gum inside, which is not conducive to the ventilation of Xuan paper and is easy to mildew after long-term storage. Use other soft paper, such as newspapers, and don't use plastic bags for packaging.
2. Insect prevention of rice paper: Rice paper is called Millennium Life Paper, which is damaged halfway, mostly for insects, so we put a few mothballs when we save it;
3: Another note: If the rice paper is wet, don't bask in the sun. We should untie the moisture-proof paper of the rice paper and let it evaporate naturally, which will affect the life and performance of the rice paper if exposed to the sun.
