Even if the ink of the rice paper at this time penetrates quickly, and whether the pen movement can become more and more effective, it is still necessary for the calligrapher and painter to test the degree of water absorption, water wetting, and ink wetting.

There is also its durability and aging resistance, and it is not easy to change color and needs to be verified by time, but at present, there is no flaw in the snow white, the change of paper nature grade, appearance and visual effect has been unimaginable and exquisite, and it is definitely not comparable to hard yellow paper.

Chang Yubo's eyes were even more tearful, his nose trembled and he sobbed slightly, his hands trembled with excitement, and his lips trembled and muttered: "God has eyes, it is actually the honor of me to witness the birth of the Divine Paper, and it is only at this moment that I realize what the little marquis said is the king of the paper and the meaning of the millennium paper!" This rice paper is already elegant to the extreme, with my decades of experience, its paper quality and ink effect can be basically determined, and the ink pen will have more magical changeability, at this time I have some uncontrollable, want to try the urgency of immediately! ”

"Come on!" In the dim candle shadow, an old voice who didn't know who it was teased, "As far as the workshop owner's writing skills are concerned, no matter how good the paper is, you have ruined it, but you can't help it!" ”

His words caused laughter, and those who are familiar with Chang Yubo know that this craftsman who has been obsessed with papermaking all his life is an expert, but he writes a strange and ugly font, and that person is right, if he tries to write, no matter how good the paper is, it is equivalent to bad practice.

Thinking about it, Chang Yubo's face was already red, but fortunately, the surrounding environment was dark, and the contours of his face pulled out too many shadows, which effectively concealed his unbearable expression.

The county lord of Qingqi, who had already grabbed Li Zhi's arm due to excessive excitement, smiled when he heard this, so he let go of his arm and beckoned Ping'er and Cui'er to come over, and the two girls also happily took out the pen and ink inkstone, and followed the figure of the little marquis to the simple shack.

Seeing the situation, the workers of Ji Min hurriedly beckoned a few people to carefully pack up the remaining rice paper and followed, and at this time, Li Zhi had already spread out the first piece of paper on the fairly flat tabletop.

Because he has obtained the calligraphy and painting skills of the two generations has reached a small level, it must not be worse than the small family of calligraphy and painting in the present world, even if it is still far from the calligraphy and painting masters, but compared with the previous great progress.

So his next pen, pen movement, dot painting, structure, and layout are quite confident, compared to others who have never seen it, the county lord of Qingqi alone shows an unbelievable appearance.

After all, she had only seen this person's calligraphy a few days ago, and now she had made amazing progress, so that the concentration that she originally focused on calligraphy was projected onto the face of the little marquis, as if she was trying to find a difference from the past.

"Light as cicada wings, white as snow, trembling like fine silk without sound."

After only a few minutes, two words of praise from the future generations of rice paper jumped on the paper, and at the same time, Chang Yubo, who was dripping with a few pieces of rice paper on the other table, also came up.

He couldn't read the two sentences of poetry, and he didn't have words very interestingly, but the county lord of Qingqi exclaimed: "Brother Zhengwen, have you made progress?" And it's improved so much, I was a little close to your calligraphy before, but now it seems to be far from it! Light as cicada wings, white as snow, trembling like fine silk without sound. You're talking about rice paper, right? I was surprised that you could write such a description! Brother Zhengwen, you succeeded! ”

Seeing a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes, Li Zhi couldn't comfort her, so she could only explain with a slight smile: "It's still more credit to the rice paper, when I put down the pen, I can feel that the tip of the pen can move at will, that kind of smooth feeling, as if I heard the most suppressed hidden emotions in my heart seem to break through the ground." The paper that is engraved in my mind is so good that every stroke of the paper can depict the poetic elegance of the year. To put it more pretentiously, the ink fragrance is like a warm stroke, and it seems that the brushwork can leave an eternal lasting, and the noise in the mind is gone, and it escapes into a quiet and beautiful artistic conception. ”

"It's so beautiful!" Cui'er, who was studying ink on the side, couldn't help but speak softly, and then realized that it was inappropriate to make a sudden sound, and hurriedly buried her head deeply, and her face was flushed when she thought about it.

Lord Qingqi smiled indifferently: "What Cui'er said is very right, I think it's wonderful when I hear it!" I can't imagine that you can taste the artistic conception from simple calligraphy! ”

Because the people around Li Zhi are all handicraftsmen and have a very low level of education, no one dares to praise themselves, after all, they can't say anything.

Chang Yubo on the side naturally couldn't say anything, but he felt that his handwriting was far more clever than him.

Li Zhi also changed the topic in time: "Chang Yubo, how is your drip experiment?" ”

"Shengxuan has strong water absorption and water absorption, and it is easy to produce rich ink rhyme changes; Cooked rice paper is more appropriate, the water absorption capacity is normal, and the ink color dispersion performance is excellent! "Chang Yubo's description is very professional.

Shengxuan is not processed, the water absorption and water wetting are strong, the rich ink rhyme changes more casually, with the line of splashing ink method, ink accumulation method, can collect water halo ink chapter, rich Huazi artistic effect.

This kind of paper is very suitable for calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, Chinese painting, freehand, landscape, figures, flowers and birds, although the painting is more interesting, but the pen is fixed, the ink infiltrates quickly, and it is not easy to master.

Cooked Xuan is coated with alum and so on during processing, so the paper is harder than raw Xuan, and the water absorption ability is weak, so that the ink and color will not be scattered when used.

Therefore, the characteristics make Shu Xuan suitable for painting brush strokes rather than ink freehand paintings. The disadvantage is that there will be "leakage" or brittleness when stored for a long time.

Cooked Xuan can be reprocessed, coral, mica paper, cold gold, wine gold, wax gold rib, peach tiger skin, etc. are all reprocessed by the cooked Xuan color paper, suitable for fine brushwork.

Semi-cooked xuan is also processed from raw xuan, and the water absorption capacity is between the first two, and the advantages and disadvantages of the first two are also half.

Most people's concept is that rice paper is an expensive high-grade paper for calligraphy and painting; Calligraphy and painting paper is a kind of ordinary calligraphy and painting paper with low price; Xuan paper is generally used for painting and calligraphy; Calligraphy and painting paper is a practice paper for beginners in calligraphy and painting.

In fact, what they have in common is that they have ink absorption, although there are similarities between rice paper and calligraphy and painting paper, there are essential differences between the two.

"What is the effect of cotton and skin?"

Cotton refers to sandalwood with a content of more than 60%; Net skin refers to the sandalwood content of more than 60%; The content of sandalwood bark, the raw material of Tepi, reaches more than 80%.

The heavier the leather composition, the better the paper can withstand tensile forces and the better the quality; The corresponding use effect is: the higher the proportion of sandalwood paper, the more able to reflect the rich ink level and better ink effect, the more it can withstand the repeated rubbing of the pen force and the paper will not break.

More popular interpretation, such as the origin of the Jing County material, in order to make special paper, with the current use of materials, to be able to achieve the net paper is what I am most looking forward to.

"There are two kinds of raw and cooked, and the paper can reach the state of clean skin described by Xiao Hou Ye before, but in my personal opinion, even cotton paper is far higher than the quality of special skin in hard yellow paper! The county lord is right, little marquis, you have succeeded! ”

As he spoke, Chang Yubo's eyes moistened again, and there was nothing that made him more excited than such an extreme paper production.

Waving his hand, Li Zhi smiled and pointed to everyone: "It's also indispensable to everyone's credit!" In this way, except for Chang Yubo, everyone present will receive two months' salaries that month, and there will be rewards for flour, grain, oil and salt! Chang Yubo is the same as Uncle Seven, ten taels of silver will be sent to his hand tomorrow! Don't be jealous, any one of you, as long as you can make a slight improvement in paper, or a slight improvement in the papermaking process, can be regarded as a major contribution, and there will be a silver reward of ten taels! ”

His words caused a buzzing resonance, and they were all whispering to each other, because of the excitement, but they ignored the existence of the owner of the Li family's paper mill.

In fact, Li Zhi's reward is already extremely high, and for ordinary participants like them, it is only three days of overtime, and being able to get a double salary is still secondary, and the rewards of flour, grain, oil and salt are bound to be more popular.

Compared with the change in the life of the family, they are willing to work overtime like this for a month, and the ten taels of silver rewards are unthinkable, after all, what they have paid is far from meeting the required conditions.

In the view of Li Zhi and the lord of Qingqi, the successful development of rice paper is already the highest level of traditional Chinese classical calligraphy and painting paper, and it will also be the ultimate of traditional papermaking technology, which can never be replaced by money.

To be able to make this best paper in the world at the moment, from another point of view, it is worth it even to exhaust all the possessions at present!
