1. Cutting bamboo floating pond: After the paper maker cuts bamboo on the mountain, he soaks the bamboo in the pond and soaks the cut bamboo in the pond 100 days. When he took it out, he beat and cleaned it hard to remove the green shell and bark to soften the bamboo.
2. Slow cooking: mix the softened bamboo with lime water and soak it in a wooden barrel for 8 days to remove lignin, gum, resin and other impurities from the raw materials. Then take out the cooked raw materials and rinse them in a clear water pool, then put them in a pot and soak them in lime water for cooking, and repeat this for more than ten days. After repeated cooking and rinsing, bamboo fiber gradually decomposes.
3, soup into the curtain: take out the cooked raw materials and put them into a stone mortar and mash them into mud. Mix the crushed raw materials with appropriate amount of water to form a suspension of paper fibers, and then pour it into a paper tank. Then the paper is filtered in the pulp with a thin bamboo curtain, and the paper fibers are left on the bamboo curtain to form a paper film.
4. Cover the curtain and press the paper: buckle the bamboo curtain from which the pulp is removed upside down on the board, and then remove the bamboo curtain, and this paper film will fall on the board. Fold up layers of paper slowly, and then squeeze with a heavy object to drain the water from the paper. Under the extrusion of heavy objects, the paper film is slowly formed and becomes a square piece of paper, so that the paper is basically formed.
5. The passage for baking paper is a brick wall made of two adobe bricks. When baking paper, first make a fire in the alley, and then spread the wet paper on the wall with thin copper tweezers. The hot air from the gap makes the paper dry slowly, and when it is dry, it is usable paper.
