● The difference between rice paper and calligraphy and painting paper

Most people’s concept is that rice paper is an expensive high-end Paper for calligraphy and painting; Calligraphy and painting paper is a low-priced ordinary paper for calligraphy and painting; rice paper is generally used for calligraphy and painting creation; calligraphy and painting paper is a practice paper for beginners of calligraphy and painting. The only thing they have in common is their ability to absorb ink. Although there are similarities between rice paper and calligraphy and painting paper, there are essential differences between them.

Mainly reflected in four aspects:

1. Raw material composition; 2. Production process; 3. Effect of use; 4. Storage time.

The distinction is divided into two: 1: Discrimination method with the naked eye: pick up the paper and look into the light, you will find that the rice paper is densely covered with cloud-like filaments. These filaments are sandalwood fibers; You can also find the tendons of the grass (there are always 8 to 10 2-3 mm long on a piece of paper). The calligraphy and painting paper made of Asparagus not only has no color, but relatively speaking, it appears too white.

Two: Inking method: use a pen to trace the four ink marks of lighter, lighter, thicker and thicker on the same place on the paper to observe the ink-receiving effect of the paper. If it is rice paper, it can clearly show the pen marks and layers, while the calligraphy and painting paper will appear blurry at the overlap of the pen marks. Especially after absorbing heavy and thick ink, the paper will break due to the poor fiber content and will be unbearable. People The first method is generally used when identifying paper; professionals often use two identification methods.

1: Moisture-proof rice paper: The characteristic of raw rice paper is that it has very good water absorption, so when we store rice paper, we must pay attention to that the room must be dry and the ventilation must be good. It can be placed high in the room. Just wrap it in soft paper. The outer packaging of newly purchased rice paper should be removed. The outer packaging is kraft paper with a layer of waterproof glue inside. This is not conducive to the breathability of the rice paper, and it will easily become moldy if left for a long time. Use other soft paper, such as newspapers, and do not use gum-containing bags for packaging.

2: Rice paper is insect-proof: Rice paper is called thousand-year-old paper, and most of it is damaged during the process, mostly due to insects, so we put a few mothballs when preserving;
