For all of this, Yang Zhiyi said, relying on a "spell" word. The result really made him fight it out.
One day restores 500 years
The tool came out, but it does not mean that the former skilled craftsman also came back at the same time. The reporter witnessed the whole process of Yang Zhiyi’s paper making at the scene. Because of some unfamiliar skills and skills, Lao Yang looked a bit anxious.
On the same day, he got up early and was doing preparations for making the paper. Making tanned paper is not only a major event of Yang Zhiyi, but also a big event for the Yang family. Therefore, Yang Jia can help people who come. Most of Lao Yang’s children work in the field. When Ma Jian’s daughter knew that her father wanted to demonstrate the production techniques of Qingkou Paper, she went back home with her husband on weekends. The first is to watch what your father’s craft is doing, and secondly, what you can help. Yang Zhiyi’s brothers also came. Lao Yang’s brothers once worked in the paper factory as a junior worker. Naturally, they are also qualified helpers today.
Steaming the eucalyptus tree cut from the mountain is the first step in making the paper. These trees were all cut by Hu Ailan from the mountain. When the trees were steamed, they were her fire. Soon, a group of eucalyptus trees can be steamed.
The next job is to peel the bark and pick it up best. Seemingly simple peeling of the bark is still awkward to do. Yang Zhiyi’s younger brother was very skilfully rigged and praised by Yang Zhiyi. He said that he had a good rapture. If he was stripped like this, the shells would all be upturned. For more than forty years, Yang Sandi was satisfied with today’s results. He started with his older brother, mainly preparing materials and doing some work.
The skin that is peeled off also has to undergo some “rubbing†in order to separate the hull from the bark, and to soften the bark and loosen the fibrous tissue. After kneading the bark, lime water must be used first. After the bark is slightly soaked in lime water, it is put into a cauldron for secondary cooking. Yang Zhiyi said that lime water acts as a rot, mainly helping to decompose fibers. If the bark is small, steaming for an hour will suffice. If it is large, at least three or four hours, it may still be stuffy and let it dry.
After cooking, the bark is washed in the creek. The rinsing time depends on the paper requirements. To make a white paper, you have to spend at least three or four days in the stream. Otherwise, the paper made will yellow.
After the rinsing of the bark, they have to pick out the shell impurities. After completing the two major processes of selecting materials and rotting materials, they entered the ballast in the production process of the Qingkou Paper. The material is a special wooden hammer that constantly hits the bark fibers after cleaning and picking out impurities. "After the bark has been cast, it must be put into a special cloth bag and accompanied by a special tool to float in the stream. It must be washed until the water flowing out of the bag becomes clear. Clarification is then completed. The slurry can be placed in a stone paper tank to be water-soluble, and then the paper frame can be used to manipulate the paper." Yang Zhiyi said, after all, it was all core technology.
Paper is also called fishing paper. The thickness of the paper is closely related to the level of the paper user. The essentials such as the uniformity and thickness of the paper basically depend on the experience, eyesight, and proficiency. The paper made of high technology is light and thin, and the paper is well-proportioned, and the air permeability is good and hard to damage. What looks like a simple gesture is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Yang Zhiyi told reporters that he must be good at making craftsmanship. At the very least, he must work hard for three to four years. "In those days, the highest record I had in one day was 1200. It is impossible now."
When a certain amount of paper is reached, it can be placed on the press and dried
