The collection of rice paper needs to pay attention to several major issues

Xuan Paper is China's unique traditional handmade paper, which has been circulating for more than 1,000 years since the Tang Dynasty. Its production techniques are still well preserved and inherited. This is also a rare phenomenon in the world. Xuan Paper is also a traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting art paper, making calligraphy and Chinese painting not only have interesting ink and wash, high artistic quality, but also durable and priceless.

Now, due to the increase in the cost of raw materials for rice paper, fewer and fewer factories are making genuine rice paper. According to Mu Yongqiang, general manager of Beijing Star Sibaotang, the Beijing branch of Star Xuan Paper Mill, Xuan Paper is not afraid to put it aside. Good paper is just like a good wine. It has been mellow after years and good rice paper is worth collecting like valuable paintings and paintings. Regardless of the painter or collector, collecting rice paper is beneficial. The painter uses Chen Zhi to create and the works that come out are different from the works of general significance. The collection of Xuan Paper by collectors is also unquestionable.

Mu Yongqiang said that when collecting rice paper, they should look for authentic traditional brand names, and they should use fine white texture, clear texture, and toughness. According to reports, one of the main materials for producing rice paper is dark-tan leather, but even if they are all made of dark leather, if they lack the unique climatic and geographical environment of origin, the quality of the skin is different. The produced rice paper has A big difference. Now, the country has implemented strict “origin of origin protection” for Xuan Paper. The definition of Xuan Paper is: “Using rice straw and Qing Tan produced in Sha County, Anhui Province and its surrounding areas, within the county of Ji County, it is unique to Gifu Prefecture. The spring water and traditional craftsmanship are refined."

The collection of rice paper is best able to integrate the quality features of rice paper products, the recognition level of the calligraphy and painting industry, and at the same time pay attention to the following three issues: First, the collection of rice paper to be authentic; second, the collection of rice paper should pay attention to varieties. It is best to choose the variety to use the preferences of people in the calligraphy and painting circles as the standard; Third, the collection of rice paper should pay attention to the characteristics. Try to collect small quantities of specialty papers with themes.

Insiders pointed out that any type of collection, when the market is booming, is the best time for Tibetan friends to enter the market. However, precisely because of the particularity of the initial stage, how to get a better understanding of the situation becomes the most critical issue. People without or without appropriate knowledge are advised not to intervene easily.

In recent years, with the increasing recognition of rice paper, all but a few limited-edition varieties have been removed, some of them have been kept for a relatively long period of time (the industry's default time limit is five years or more and can be called "Chen Paper"). The price of rice paper has also been rising year by year, which has caused some collectors to gradually favor it, making the Xuan Paper Collection a great opportunity to develop into a new investment channel. According to a few of the local authentic rice paper mills in Yixian County, in recent years, the number of individual customer orders has been increasing rapidly. At the same time, the rice paper of the manufacturers' inventory was sold out in the past two years.

According to Mu Yongqiang, several varieties produced by Star Xuan Paper Factory have been collected by painters and collectors. In the second half of this year, the star Xuan Paper Mill will also launch a traditional hand-made special clean new rice paper, which is not only affordable, but also has a great improvement in terms of technology, color, texture, and packaging, due to the use of new technologies. It is very worthwhile to collect, and not only will it retain value and increase in value, but it is also very suitable for the creation of a painter.
