Where does Dai handmade paper belong?

People pay attention to the Dai people's hand-made paper in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Some foreign tourists are more interested in Dai's handmade paper, asking about the production method and listening to the staff introduce the paper-making steps.

The Dai people in Jinghong have made paper by hand for more than 65,438+0,000 years. The raw material for papermaking is the bark of Broussonetia papyrifera. The paper-making process completely retains the five-step process of "soaking, evaporating, mashing, pouring paper and drying paper" and the 1 1 process in the early stage of paper-making. Because no chemicals are added in the papermaking process, the paper made is not only good in fiber toughness, but also durable, corrosion-resistant and moth-proof. Besides copying 1 of Buddhist temples in the upper part of South China, it is also widely used in folk activities and daily life. In 2006, it was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list and the first batch of intangible cultural heritage protection list in Yunnan Province.
