Xuan Paper did not disclose the true rice paper without revealing foreigners (I)

In recent years, some news media have published some people’s claims that the production technology of rice paper has been completely leaked. The author believes that under the condition of advanced scientific and technological conditions, this argument is not due to a complete lack of understanding of the production conditions of rice paper, or A little knowledge is the reason why people pretend to be people.

In the past, the thing concerning the disclosure of rice paper was exactly what we wanted to vigorously promote under the conditions of the socialist market economy. Now we must publicize some of the relevant knowledge of rice paper, so that more consumers understand rice paper, use authentic rice paper, and fight against counterfeiting, instead of blindly "confidential." I do not know the real thing, which know what fake it?

Some foreigners have been stealing rice paper craftsmanship, copying rice paper, concealing evils, and making ironclad cards, but they have never made genuine rice paper.

As a traditional special handicraft paper, Xuan Paper has been named sincerely because of its production technology. Therefore, for its production techniques, paper makers have never been secretive. Occasionally, they asked about it, and it was also secretive. Outsiders have always been This is confusing and unpredictable. Due to the high quality of Xuan Paper, it is a fine product in the paper, with significant economic and social benefits, so it has been coveted by outsiders. According to the testable materials, from about the middle and late of the last century, to this day, some national intelligence personnel, especially economic intelligence personnel, have successively visited our country’s rice paper producing areas and tried our best to collect information on the production techniques of the rice paper production in our country in order to carry out Counterfeiting, attempting to make a fuss, in order to obtain high economic benefits.

The activities of foreigners to steal Chinese paper-making techniques have continued since the middle of the last century, and there are cases in which they can be found. There are so many times in the history of the text: The Englishman Bai Enhou opened the case of rice paper stealing. In the three years (1877) of the Qing dynasty (1877), on the basis of the Sino-British unequal treaties signed by Guangxu two years (1876), the Yantai Treaty, Wuhu Customs officially opened its doors. Shortly after the switch, Wuhu Customs dispatched intelligence personnel to investigate the production process of Xuan paper in Ji County. In the customs service report of the Wuhu Customs Office in 1877, Baien, the taxation division, wrote: “Eight miles southwest of Qixian County has a lot of villages. The valley of the Lushan Mountain is a place of papermaking. Its method is to use tan bark and mulberry bark. And the table pole was washed several times, added some lime and boiled, and washed again, so that Chen Yu's vacant land was kept all year round to wait for it to dry,..." and the whole method of ingredients and making was used as confidential information for scientific and technical reports. Tax Secretary Hurd. Although this report is not very essential for the understanding of Xuan Paper, it has been a long time since the imperialists invaded China’s sovereignty and discovered the wreckage of China’s rice paper production techniques. In the nine years before Guangxu (1883), a Japanese man named Mukiya (original name: Inoue) was once infiltrated into the prefecture to inspect rice papermaking techniques. After returning to Japan, he wrote a “Diary of a Visit to the Qing National Paper”. This diary was published in Tokyo in 1934 in the book "Yaina Paper Industry" edited by GUAN Yu, etc. In April 1941, "China Paper Industry" was published in the fourth edition of the first volume. Until the beginning of this century, there was a Japanese man named Nakayama Mizotomon, who was in Nanjing, China, and was close to various paper production sites in Anhui. He went deep into the paper-making area many times, especially in Xiaoling, Gifu County, stealing rice paper production information. After returning home, in the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), he wrote an article entitled "Chinese Papermaking Law" published in No. 98, Ninth Edition of the Journal of the Japanese Journal of Industrial Chemistry. In 1919, 13 years after the publication was published, a man named Ni Mengchang of China translated the full text of the article into Chinese and published it in Volume 10 of the Oriental Journal. The "Chinese Papermaking Law" article is divided into three chapters: The third chapter specifically describes rice paper, the longest length, the description of the content is the most detailed. Respectively made detailed descriptions on rice paper production, papermaking water, rice paper, and rice paper use. Later, in the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), where Shanshan Yaduomeng was able to steal information from China and write reports and articles after returning from China, some people in Japan came to Jixian County and made painstaking efforts to make some achievements in the Xuan paper production center of Ji County. The branch of the ebony tree was specially requested by the professor of the Department of Botany of the University. However, Japan did not produce this tree. Therefore, it was impossible to identify what the branch was and what it meant. After the “July 7th” Lugouqiao Incident in 1937, Japan used its chance to invade China to send special agents several times to southern Fujian to collect some of the Lai’s ebony seeds and transport them back to Japan for careful planting due to different conditions such as climate and soil quality. , Therefore, the quality of Tanacetal grown out of poor quality, use it to produce high-quality rice paper, poor ink. After the founding of New China until the 1970s, due to well-known reasons, foreigners could not enter the rice paper production area to steal rice paper art. The relevant countries could only purchase rice paper from the motherland and Hong Kong and then use modern scientific methods to test it. All sorts of ingredients contained in rice paper, many companies compete for imitation. By the end of the 1970s, China began to implement the policy of reform and opening up, and exchanges between China and foreign countries became more frequent. Some foreign countries increased the information on Xuan Paper in order to create true rice paper and narrow the gap between the imitation rice paper produced and the Xuan Paper. With their efforts to collect, they used a variety of techniques to extract information and materials in every possible way. Not only that, they are still trying their best to get first-hand information directly into the origin of rice production. For example, in 1986, a certain country sent a “paper industry inspection group” to visit the manufacturers in Yi County, Anhui Province. Some of them have "handedly" taken away some of the raw materials for production and brought them back to the country for repeated research. They use various ingredients to create genuine rice paper. However, the paper produced was not "red rice paper". At best, it was just an imitation of Xuan Xuan. Its ink repellency was not as good as that of Xuan Xuan Paper. What are the reasons? Analyzed by our experts. They discovered that there were more minerals in their “Xuan Paper”, and the source of the minerals came from local papermaking water.

Outsiders steal rice paper craftsmanship, imitate rice paper, harbor hidden troubles, and ironclad cards, but from the results of stealing to copying, foreigners have not produced it and cannot produce a true rice paper. The History of Foreigners Stealing Our Country's Rice Paper Making Skills We must never forget that, especially under the conditions of a market economy, we must remain vigilant and we must not allow outsiders to steal any economic intelligence. In the case of rice paper, it is one thing that the purpose of an outsider cannot be achieved, but the scourge of stealing paper information is another matter. Although some foreign countries do not produce rice paper, Xuanzhi Paper has hit the international market of Xuan Paper in China and has caused a certain impact on the foreign exchange earnings of China's rice paper exports.

The true rice paper craftsmanship is not leaked and it is impossible to disclose

Although some foreign imitation rice papers can be similar in shape to the real paper on rice paper, it is only a "like shape" and it is impossible to achieve "god togetherness." For reasons, using an old Chinese saying, it is: Orange is more than Huai. Oranges and medlars are one thing, but due to the different soils and climates in the north and the south, the fruits that grow out are of the same shape and unique. Therefore, the Huaihe River is called the Orange in the south, and the Huai River is called the North of the Huai River. Similarly, many examples can be found to illustrate the same thing. Kweichow Moutai, formula ingredients is no longer a secret, with the same formula ingredients in different real estate out of the wine, and Maotai in the local production of Maotai Taiwan there is a big difference, why not? In addition to brewing technology factors, but also in different water quality, all other conditions can be simulated to meet, but the water used for the sake of the liquor is not irreplaceable.

As a matter of fact, Xuan paper can be copied from the shape system, but the real rice paper can only be produced in the county of Yixian, Anhui, and regardless of the difference in water alone, the imitation of rice paper cannot be equal to the quality and flavor of Xuan paper. , not to mention there are many other factors! Although outsiders can imitate rice paper, they will never be able to meet the three conditions of “time, place, and person” of rice paper production. The term “Heavenly Hour” here means that Xuan Paper must be produced under specific natural conditions in order to achieve the best quality, and that any foreign country cannot have the same specific climate and environment as in Gifu Prefecture. The “geographical advantage” here means that the production requirements of rice paper mainly include the conditions of water resources and other resource conditions with specific trace element content. Only when these specific various resource conditions are fully satisfied, can the quality of rice paper products reach the maximum level. good. This tells us that rice paper and cloisonne are not the same. Cloisonne's production is purely technical. Once the technology leaks, it completely leaks. In addition to superb production technology, rice paper also depends on specific natural conditions and under the natural conditions. The specific raw materials produced. Here, "people and harmony" means that the production of rice paper requires specialized workers with specific skills to operate. In the production process of rice paper, most of them are still manual operations. Each of these manual operations has inexhaustible mysteries that can only be conveyed through words and words, and it is impossible to realize its course without actual operation for a certain period of time. of. Therefore, to produce high-quality rice paper, the conditions of the people who master the technology are another key. In addition to this, the production of rice paper also requires specialized personnel who are skilled in various production processes to manage them. It requires the unanimous and concerted cooperation of workers and managers in various production processes. Therefore, some of the “Xuan Paper” produced by some foreign countries cannot be compared with the Chinese rice paper, no matter if it is touched by hands, ink, tension, or cleanliness. Even the imitation rice paper produced in other parts of the country outside Gifu Prefecture is the same. What are the reasons? This is the special natural conditions required for the production of rice paper, the use of raw materials, medicinal materials, and water, and the subtlety of the artisanal skills that can be indescribable and unremarkable. No country can meet these conditions or follow it. .
