@art_dailydose: Jing County Linyi Xuan Paper Workshop preserves the traditional craft of Xuan paper making, a technique with roots tracing back to the Tang dynasty and refined over centuries. The process begins by blending natural plant fibers such as sandalwood bark and rice straw into water to form a pulp. Artisans then use bamboo screens to lift delicate layers from the liquid, shaping each sheet by hand before drying it with heat, a method that can involve dozens of steps and take months to complete. What seems simple is actually a highly controlled craft where timing, material balance, and technique determine the final result. Xuan paper is valued for its durability, ink absorption, and longevity, often referred to as “paper that lasts a thousand years,” and it remains essential in Chinese calligraphy and painting.
