Chinese calligraphy and painting are the most used paper. Some calligraphy and painting techniques are based on the paper nature. Today, if you want to understand Chinese calligraphy and painting, you can't live without research paper. According to the accumulation of the weekdays, I will introduce several kinds of calligraphy and painting papers.

Raw paper. A kind of bamboo paper, produced in the late Ming Dynasty in Jiangxi bamboo paper, paper is delicate, the color was beige, the front light, the back slightly astringent, slightly brittle texture, slightly less toughness, durability is second to Taishi even paper. The ink absorbs water well, which is suitable for writing, but also for printing ancient books and writing calligraphy and painting, but the paper edge is not hairy. Due to the Ming Dynasty Daishu book, Mao Jin, like books, it is easy to use bamboo paper special books, the paper used, very particular about the large amount of paper, often to Jiangxi to order a little thick bamboo paper, and a seal on the edge of the paper The "Mao" seal has been used by people for a long time, and people are accustomed to call this type of paper "flashy paper," and it is still in use today. According to the article: “The people who buy good books in the world must go through the papers used by Maohu (Mao Jin) of Hidden Lake. They are made from Jiangxi, and the thick ones are 'raw edges' and the thin ones are 'Mao Tai'. They still exist today. The name is endless." The origin of raw paper may be due to this. After the Qing Emperor Qianlong used paper, in addition to Taishi Lian paper and cotton paper, a large part of the book was printed with burrs.

Now local production of bamboo in our country has been produced with tender bamboo as raw material, smashed and fermented with lime, smashed into a slurry, and then add appropriate yellow dye, not sizing, hand-made bamboo blinds made. The raw paper texture is delicate, soft, and has good toughness. It is slightly yellowish and has strong water absorption. It is used for writing, and it is easy to blot dry ink. The writing remains unchanged for a long time. Heavier raw paper is also called "jade buckle paper." The faux-furred paper produced in Hengjiang, Jiangxi Province is also known as "heavy paper." Now some places such as Zhejiang Province use alkaline pulping, made on a circular screen paper machine with a bamboo screen, called “mechanism burrs”. The texture and appearance of the paper are different from the hand-made burrs.

Korean paper. Also known as Korean paper, Gorgon paper. The paper produced by ancient Goryeo (also known as Goguryeo, North Korea). White, thick, silky, very tough, with obvious straight lines. According to the Northern Song Dynasty literature, "Korea paper is made from cotton and silkworms, and its color is white, and it is as tough as silk. It is used for writing and making ink. This is not what China has, but it is also a wonderful product." This paper is mostly a thick stripe pattern. The paper pattern is large and thicker than white paper. After close study, the Korean paper used in the Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties was written in mulberry paper. Most of them were mulberry paper. During the Qing Emperor Qianlong, there were imitation Korean papers.

Jade paper. A crisp and beautiful paper. Song Huang Tingjian "Yu Zhang Ji Ji Ci Yun Wang Bingzhi Huiyu version of the paper" poem: "Gutian small note benefits me white, I believe that Xiong Weng can solve Yu." Yuan Fei with a "slapstick spectrum": "Today are under the wood for Paper, and Yi Zhong is the best use of Cai Lun law, there is a jade version of the paper, there are tribute, there are crumbs, there is surface light." "Shaoxing Fu Zhi": "Jade version of the paper Ying Runruyu." Even the history of paper. Also known as "even four papers" and "even paper", thick paper is also known as "sea moon paper." Originated in Shaowu, Fujian Province, as well as the northern part of Jiangxi Province and Jiangxi Province, Qianshan County. The use of tender bamboo as raw materials, alkaline cooking, bleaching pulping, manual bamboo blinds. Paper is thin and uniform, white as suet jade, writing, drawing are appropriate, and more used to make high-level manual prints, such as rubbings, letterheads, fan base paper and so on. Legend has it that the Fujian Shaowu brothers after years of research and development, Seiko copy made, because they ranked "the youngest" and "old fourth" and named.

Machine history paper. The history of the machine was made by machine. The color was slightly yellow. It was adopted only in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The Zhonghua Publishing House printed the “four spare parts” and used the history of the machine.
