China's ancient invention of paper, papermaking can be said to change the history of mankind's civilization of a technology. We can say that if paper was not invented at that time, the degree of human civilization will be greatly reduced. But when the machine instead of handmade, handmade paper more and more no market. Finally, in the 1980s, it was completely discontinued.

Today, there are only a dozen or so old craftsmen who know how to make paper by ancient methods. Because of the complexity of the ancient papermaking process, coupled with the lack of funds, young people are reluctant to inherit. Among them, all kinds of handmade paper in one of the most famous - Caihou paper. Caihou paper *** there are 36 big process and 72 small process, basically rely on manpower to complete. This created the "Caihou paper" paper thin and sinewy, writing and painting without blotting, ink does not fade, preserved for a hundred years as before.

It is precisely because of the repetition of the production process of Caihou paper, which also creates the superior quality of Caihou paper. Moreover, with Caihou paper three volts day package cooked meat, three days without moldy flavor; winery paste wine can also improve the quality of wine ...... So Caihou paper although low production, the production of Caihou paper to spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but Caihou paper are affordable to pay behind him.

Two, making scales

There is a scale between heaven and earth, and that scale is the people. The scale is called "right" in ancient times, "accurate" is the soul of the scale, do "nine two scales" are not worthy of the name of "craftsmen The person who makes the "nine-two scales" does not deserve to be called a "craftsman"? With the popularity of electronic scales, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen in this business. If no one made scales in ancient China, China's economy would have been hit hard and people's economic development would have been limited to a great extent.
