How to make old and new paper quickly?

There are several ways to do old things. The steps are as follows:

The first is the dyeing method.

1, black tea is a good blue pigment. Take a little, add water and adjust it to a similar concentration.

2. To prepare a brush or brush, you should first find a very flat table without any unevenness or seams, so as not to cause uneven dyeing of the paper.

3. Spread the white paper flat on the table and dip it with a combination pen. Black tea is dyed on the paper with water, and there is no bubble after brushing once to ensure the smoothness of the paper. When it dries naturally, the color of the paper turns yellow-brown.

4. In addition to black tea water, you can also use Pu 'er tea water, or Chinese painting pigments with blue ink. Adjust to the right color. Also, adding water to soy sauce can achieve the purpose of rapidly aging paper.

There is another way to bask in the sun.

1. flatten the paper and expose it to the sun. You can also implement the old method.

In addition to the above two methods, there are smoking methods.

1. Hang or spread the old paper in a closed small space. You can also use a large carton and then ignite the combustible materials in the carton. I use moxa sticks, so there will be a lot of smoke. This kind of smoke can be used to smoke paper to an old color.

Identification of moxa sticks

1, look at the color of moxa: good moxa is khaki, with a very small amount of green and black stalks and fine particles. Inferior moxa is cyan and blue-black, and the stalks are much larger.

2, smell the smell of moxa sticks: good quality moxa sticks smell fragrant and light, not pungent, poor quality moxa sticks taste strong and pungent, and worse moxa sticks have a musty smell.

3. Touch the texture of moxa: Good moxa feels soft and delicate, while poor moxa feels rough. Good moxa is easy to hold together, and even if the wrapping paper is torn off, it will not be completely scattered. And poor Ai, the wrapping paper fell apart as soon as it was torn.

4, feel the fire of moxa sticks: good moxa sticks are soft but not firm, and have strong penetration. Inferior moxa sticks have strong firepower, weak penetration and are easy to burn.

5. Look at the burning speed: Because the moxa with a high proportion is delicate and fluffy, the moxa with a relatively low proportion has much less impurities, so the burning speed of the moxa with a high proportion is faster than that of the moxa with a low proportion.

This is often misunderstood by many people, who think that this kind of moxa stick burns too fast and is not durable. As we all know, the effect of flame-resistant moxa sticks is much worse than that of flame-resistant moxa sticks. Isn't the purpose of moxibustion to achieve the effect of treating diseases and preserving health? Just like a cotton ball, a cotton ball mixed with stones and sand. When they burn together, they must be pure cotton balls that burn quickly.

6.
