Does ancient papermaking belong to scientific practice or survival experience?

Ancient papermaking can be classified as both scientific practice and survival experience.

From the scientific practice, ancient papermaking is a technology involving physics, chemistry and other scientific principles. Through the processes of mixing, pressing and drying with plant fibers and water, the fibers can be interwoven with each other to form a paper structure. In this process, there are many scientific principles and technical methods that need to be applied and mastered, such as controlling the humidity, temperature and pressure of paper and selecting suitable fiber raw materials. Therefore, it can be considered that ancient papermaking is a scientific practice.

On the other hand, ancient papermaking can also be regarded as an activity to show and experience the traditional way of life. Ancient papermaking technology has a long history and was widely used in ancient civilization. By personally participating in the process of ancient papermaking, we can experience the lifestyle and wisdom of the ancients. This kind of experience can help people better understand and understand ancient culture and deepen the respect and protection of traditional skills.

Therefore, ancient papermaking not only includes the technicality of scientific practice, but also includes the inheritance and experience of traditional culture, which can be classified as both scientific practice and survival experience.
