Introduction to several ingenious identification methods of ancient paper

with books and paintings on paper, it undertook the mission of cultural dissemination. It is rare to see the paper that has been hidden to today in the form of study entertainment and packaged with drop experiments

most of them are products after the Qing Dynasty. The paper of the Qing Dynasty was luxurious and gorgeous. It was not used to sprinkle pen and ink, but rather as a symbol of authority to meet the needs of the emperor, dignitaries and dignitaries, and as a luxurious object of wealth, rather than the desire of real scholars to sprinkle. Empress li of the Southern Tang Dynasty once made chengxintang paper. When this colored paper was spread to Qianlong, Hongli was very fond of it and ordered Qianlong to copy chengxintang paper

because Qianlong liked luxury, the polyurethane materials for luxury paper vehicles in the Qing Dynasty should follow this trend. Wax paper, gold paper, color paper, pattern paper, pattern paper, gold foil paper and so on emerge in endlessly. There are even paper paper paper with patterns painted and waxed with gold over 3 meters. The contents painted include mountains and rivers, terraces, Yunlong, Phoenix, birds and animals, flowers and so on. The background color is colorful and extremely gorgeous. Unfortunately, at present, this kind of pattern paper has become a rare thing. Calligraphy, poetry and paper are another kind of precious paper in the Qing Dynasty

this kind of paper is used in writing poems or letters, and is made by woodblock printing with watermark technique. It is usually painted by famous painters in the Qing Dynasty, and then printed in color. In addition, bronze wares of Shang and Zhou dynasties are painted on poetry tablets, or words on inscriptions and ancient monuments are depicted by double hook method. These taojian are hard to find now. Only a few Qingjian from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China have survived, but their prices are very expensive

since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, all regions have devoted themselves to the production of writing paper by using local resources. For example, Niaowen Xuan paper in Jing County, Luhuang Xuan, Xiaoling tiger skin Xuan, Jiajiang Xuan in Sichuan, Qian'an calligraphy and painting Xuan in Hebei, Liuyang Gong Xuan in Hunan, Renhua Yangtze River Xuan in Guangdong, hanpi Xuan in Hubei buried hill, Lianshi Xuan in Jiangxi Qianshan, Qinbao Xuan in Zhenba, Shaanxi, etc. among them, Luhuang Xuan is the king of Xuan paper, which is more rare in the world, and people call it a national treasure

this rice paper is a kind of super large clean skin rice paper, which has the advantages of white as jade, beautiful color, clear texture, fine text and rattan, strong tension, anti-aging, not easy to break, suitable for preservation, anti-corrosion, moderate ink absorption, clear ink rhyme and so on, and is deeply praised by calligraphers and painters at home and abroad

to identify ancient paper, we must first determine the age, which can be roughly divided into four periods: the early Qing Dynasty, the middle Qing Dynasty, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. There are less good paper from tomorrow to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and most of the paper in the Jiaqing period is imitation of the previous dynasty, so the paper in the Qianlong period is the most valuable

secondly, it's best not to believe the age printed on paper, because a large number of emperor's special paper of the Qianlong period were copied in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the author found dozens of them in the antique market, almost all of which were fakes

third, we should be familiar with the production characteristics, forms and decorative patterns of various paper. Fourth, we should see whether the surface of the paper is smooth and neat, whether there are miscellaneous stains or old colors, and whether the correct operation method is an important link that does not need to be questioned! Of course. Usually, the ancient paper is thicker, and it is small after crushing. The cross section is inclined, and the composite material can offset the increased weight grain
