Not one family. Anhui Red Star brand rice paper has a long history. In addition to being suitable for calligraphy and painting, it is also a high-grade paper used for mounting, rubbing, and repairing ancient books, paintings, and important documents. The "five-star" you asked about has only been heard of, so I can't comment. However, I heard that there is also a "red five-star".
In 2003, "Red Star Rice Paper" was approved and registered by the National Office for the Protection of Regions of Origin, and was allowed to use the special mark of the People's Republic of China and the country's regional origin products, becoming the first four treasures of the study industry in my country to enjoy regional protection. product. Others who have received this approval include: "Wang Liuji" from Wang Liuji Rice Paper Co., Ltd., Jing County, Anhui Province; "Cao's" from Zijinlou Rice Paper Factory, Jing County, Anhui Province; "Millennium Ancient Xuan" from Xiaoling Millennium Ancient Xuan Xuan Paper Factory, Jing County, Anhui Province "Star" from Mingxing Rice Paper Factory in Jingxian County, Anhui Province "Yuquan" from Yuquan Rice Paper Co., Ltd., Jingxian County, Anhui Province "Shuanglu" from Shuanglu Rice Paper Co., Ltd., Jingxian County, Anhui Province "Peach" from Taoji Rice Paper Co., Ltd., Jingxian County, Anhui Province "Fengkeng Hongye" from Hongye Rice Paper Factory in Jingxian County, Anhui Province "Jixing, Xiangma" from Jixing (Xiangma) Rice Paper Factory in Jingxian County, Anhui Province, etc.
Personally, I have used "Red Star" (the quality is naturally not mentioned, but the price is a bit high, you can consider it when creating works), "Wang Liuji" (it feels good and the price is right), "Shuanglu" "I started using it more than 10 years ago. (It can resist ink with water, and the accumulated ink can distinguish between pen and stroke. The intersection of dark and light will leave pen marks. It is difficult for beginners to master). In addition, "Cao's" is also good. An unknown "Lucky Star" product is also of good quality (cheap price). In fact, no matter what we say, you are still in the dark. You should experience it more by using it!
You asked again, "Can rice paper be made from recycled paper? Or is it all made from recycled paper now?" It's hard to say. Nowadays, businessmen are opportunistic and try to improve the process to reduce the cost. Cleverly borrowing famous brand fish eyes mixed with pearls. I think being made from recycled paper definitely makes a difference. I also hope that people in the industry can give me some advice (to be honest). Thank you all!
