I want to know the classification of painting paper in China since ancient times. Who can introduce me? Thank you.

China pays the most attention to paper in painting and calligraphy, and some painters' painting and calligraphy techniques are based on paper. Nowadays, if you want to know China's paintings and calligraphy, you can't do without research papers. According to the daily accumulation, I would like to introduce several kinds of calligraphy and painting paper to you.

Fringed paper. A kind of bamboo paper, produced in Jiangxi in the late Ming Dynasty, is tender in texture, beige in color, shiny in front, slightly astringent in back, slightly brittle in texture, slightly poor in toughness and less durable than Taishilian paper. The ink carrier has good water absorption, which is not only suitable for writing, but also suitable for printing ancient books and writing calligraphy and painting, but the edges of the paper are not hairy. Jin Mao, a great book collector in Ming Dynasty, loved books, so he carved books with bamboo paper. The paper used is exquisite, and a lot of paper is used. He often goes to Jiangxi to order a slightly thicker bamboo paper and put a "Mao" seal on the edge of the paper. Over time, people used to call this kind of paper "wool edge paper", which has been used ever since. The report said: "Anyone who buys a good book in the world will definitely look forward to the paper used by Shi Mao (Golden Hair) in Hidden Lake. At the age of 18, it was specially made in Jiangxi. The thick one is called' burr' and the thin one is called' Maotai', and its name has been so far. " The origin of tassel paper may come from this. After the Qing Dynasty, except for Taishi Lotus Paper and Cotton Paper, a large number of books were printed with selvage paper.

At present, bamboo is produced in all parts of southern China, using tender bamboo as raw material, fermented with lime, mashed into pulp, and then added with appropriate yellow dye, without sizing, and made by hand bamboo curtain. Wool paper is tender, soft and tough, slightly egg-yellow and has strong water absorption. When used for writing, it is easy to absorb ink and the handwriting remains unchanged for a long time. The heavier selvage paper is also called "jade buckle paper". Cloth-like edge paper produced in Hengjiang, Jiangxi, also known as "heavy paper". At present, some places, such as Zhejiang, use alkaline pulping and make it on a rotary screen paper machine with bamboo curtain net, which is called "machine-made edge paper". The texture and appearance of this kind of paper are very different from those of hand-made edge paper.

Korean paper. Also known as Korean paper and Korean tribute paper. Paper produced in ancient Korea (also known as Koguryo and Korea). White in color, thick in quality, spongy and tough, with obvious straight lines. The literature of the Northern Song Dynasty records: "Korean paper is made of cotton cocoons, white as silk, tough as silk, used for writing, and the ink color is lovely. This China has nothing, which is also a miracle. " This kind of paper is mainly thick curtains, and the spacing between paper lines is larger and thicker than that of white paper. Through careful study, most of the Korean paper used for writing in China during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties was mulberry paper. In the Qing Dynasty, China had imitation Korean paper.

Jade board paper is an excellent white strong writing paper. Huang Songting's poem "Zhang Yuji's Ci Wang Yun Bing Zhi Hui Yu Board Paper" says: "Gutian Xiao Jianyi benefits me, and I believe Xi Weng can solve jade." Yuan Fei wrote "Shu Jian Pu": "Today, wood bark is used as paper, and Cai Lun's method is used in Shu. The paper has jade plate, tribute, classics and luster." Shaoxing official records: "Jade plate paper is as smooth as jade." History paper. Also known as "silk paper" and "silk paper", those with thicker paper are also known as "sea moon paper". It is native to Shaowu, Fujian, and Yanshan County, northern Fujian and Jiangxi. Using tender bamboo as raw material, alkaline boiling, bleaching and pulping, and manual bamboo curtain papermaking. The paper is thin and even, as white as suet jade, suitable for writing and painting, and is mostly used to make high-grade handmade printed matter, such as steles, letterheads and fan-shaped base paper. According to legend, Fujian Shaowu Lian brothers developed imitations carefully many years later, and were named after ranking "the third" and "the fourth".

Papers on machine history. Machine history paper is made by machine, and its color is slightly yellow. It was only adopted in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Zhonghua Book Company printed four kinds of notes on computer-linked history paper.
