Jiangxia papermaking story in paper workshop

Jiangxia Paper Mill has a long history of papermaking. "Wuchang County Chronicle" said that "it was famous for papermaking workshops in the Tang Dynasty".

According to the research of local scholar Peng Dunyun, the paper technology of Jiangxia Paper Mill is most likely to come from Henan. Between the years of Xianhe and Taiyuan (AD 327-377), the Henan people fled to Tukou in large numbers to avoid the difficulties of Shille, and soon Runan County was settled in Shaxian overseas Chinese. After 214 years, they finally completed their localization. Runan is "in the world", there were papermaking workshops in the Han Dynasty. Runan people in the Tukou more than 200 years, it is highly likely that with the population migration also brought paper to Tukou. Only the paper raw materials of the coating mouth are far less rich than the paper mill, therefore, the paper mill paper industry should be slightly later than the coating mouth, and the paper industry in the south is also very developed during the same period, but the impact on Jiangxia is not very large.

The prosperity of the paper industry should be closely related to China's second great population migration. As a result of the Anshi Rebellion, the population of Henan and Hebei moved again, and history records that about 1 million people went to the south this time. This not only fundamentally changed the pattern that China's population had always been centered on the Yellow River basin, but also brought advanced production technology from the north to the backward South of the Yangtze River, promoting the rapid development of productivity here.

Hegel once said, "Name is a universal thing, belonging to the mind, which turns complex things into simple things," and thus the "paper mill" became the name of this geographical entity.

With the innovation of papermaking technology, the decline of the local paper market, the paper workshop has long been closed down, and the paper artisans have changed to another way of living. Now, let alone paper square even a few papermaking tools can not find, occasionally see a paper roller wheel broken stone, also scarred lying in the grass and stones, only eight mountains, Qinglongshan green mountains lush green water as old flow. China's papermaking technology, which has been transmitted for thousands of years and spread across five continents, is facing a crisis of loss except for a few places where it still maintains its craft and production.

At present, in addition to using text and shadow to explain and preserve this ancient handicraft skill, what we can do is to market innovative products and let intangible cultural heritage skills enter the daily life of the masses.

In line with the concept of inheriting non-heritage techniques in use, the brand of Paper Mill culture studies paper mill's millennia-old papermaking technology, preferably selects log pulp production to ensure natural, and the pulp is more delicate after tens of thousands of times of hammer, combined with the original national tide style design drawing of the museum collection, which is not only the inheritance of Jingchu culture, but also deduces the modern aesthetic national tide wind.

The pulp does not add any chemical reagents in the production process, and the pigment is used by the quality inspection brand. In this way, the color pulp produced by the combination of bright colors, and then the ancient papermaking technology is combined with the rich Jingchu culture and the unique museum collection of the second creation design, to form a new ancient paper pulp Jingchu culture Guochao style decorative painting.

The paper workshop series "Intangible Pulp Material Museum Hand Painting literary creation Box" makes intangible cultural heritage skills not only a unique secret technique spread in the verbal fingertips of craftsmen, so that the collection is not only a high hanging exhibition in the museum, but also accompanied by the box of cultural and creative products into thousands of households to delight themselves and beautify life.

The inheritance of the traditional techniques of paper-making is mainly passed on by the folk in Jiangxia District of Wuhan City through oral transmission. In the era of farming civilization, the masses of people fully display their smart talents in the form of traditional handwork in their leisure time, and beautify their living environment with paper-making paintings and decorations.

The paper works have a strong sense of three-dimensional, strong and soft, full of ancient and interesting, skilled techniques, is a combination of decorative beauty and artistic beauty of the folk traditional art works. Let intangible cultural heritage not only be an exhibition in the museum, but also enter everyone's life.
