What's so particular about paper windows?

Pay attention to the selection time, position of window paper and window paper.

1, usually around the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, the sun is toxic, and the water evaporates easily and dries quickly.

2. The paper used to paste windows is specially made of reeds and hemp fibers. There are crushed straw sticks and velvet wrapped in silk. Although it is not white, it is very strong. Enough paper made in this way is elastic, wind-resistant and not easy to break.

3. If enough paper is stuck in it, when the indoor temperature is too high, enough paper will tighten when it is heated and expanded. When the cold wind blows outside, it will scrape enough paper, which is scary and easy to damage.

Stick enough paper on the outside of the window, and use the large area pressure of the wind to push the paper to reduce the wind pressure, which also forms the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, thus reducing the damage rate of enough paper, which is both windy and beautiful.

The origin of pasting windows with paper

It was only in the Tang and Song Dynasties that paper was used to paste windows. Moreover, "enough paper" is not our ordinary paper now, but a translucent oil paper, which can not only penetrate the sun, prevent mosquitoes, but also play a certain role in moisture protection. This kind of "oiled paper" with vegetable oil coated on paper and then pasted on the wooden window is as beautiful and practical as a layer of ground glass.

Later, a special window paper, bast paper, was developed, which better met people's demand for wind-proof, rain-proof and light-transmitting functions of window paper. The raw materials of this paper are chaff, bark, vines and other plants, so the paper made is tough and not easy to break. At the same time, this paper should be soaked in tung oil, and the paper soaked in oil can play a certain waterproof role.
