Qiliang Hanma Paper: The Original Ecological Skills Inheritance
In Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi, there is a village whose generation is based on hand-made paper, named Qiliang. According to the "Zhouzhi County Chronicle", as early as the Ming Dynasty, Qiliang Village was well-known in the country for making paper, and every family enshrined a portrait of Cai Lun. 90% of the households in Qiliang Village have paper-making workshops. Most of the villagers are busy with paper-making. The daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt and other materials are exchanged with the dealers for the hemp paper. During the Wanli period, due to the performance of local officials, the court pardoned the grain tax on the village and encouraged the local franchise of paper industry. Qiliang village evolved from the homonym of "abandoned grain village".
Today, in Qiliang, there are still some paper culverts used in the paper mills in front of the house, and the paper marks left on the stones are visible. Qiliang Village's papermaking process is quite complicated, and generally requires preparation, steaming, soaking, whole material, crumbling, cutting, peeling, pulping, papermaking, paper pressing, drying paper, peeling paper, etc. There are 36 large procedures and 72 small procedures, which are basically completed by manpower. The procedures are strict and can't be tolerated. Otherwise, it is possible to give up.
Here in Qiliang Village, paper-making industry has been handed down from generation to generation. It still circulates and preserves the ancient traditional paper-making process. Many old folk artists can not only show the ancient Cai Lun paper-making process to people, but also can make pure pure original. High-quality hemp paper for leap. In order to protect and inherit the ancient hand-made paper craft that is about to be lost in the village, Liu Xiaodong, the head of the paper mill, decided to establish the "Caihou Paper Mill" and carry forward the ancient hand-made paper craftsmanship of Qiliang. At "Caihou Paper Workshop", some old artists are teaching the details of the papermaking process on site. Here, people can see the complete process of paper making from collecting raw materials to soaking, cutting, drying and so on.
Editor's note: Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, the paper industry is also developing rapidly. The traditional hand-made papermaking technology is facing a crisis of loss. The younger generation cannot fully devote themselves to this "outdated" work, so the old artists sigh with sigh. How to protect and inherit these ancient skills should arouse the attention of the whole society. While stubbornly seeking survival, how to integrate with the market and how to connect with modern technology is also a question worth considering.
