Yaoxiang Ancient Papermaking Advocates Ecological Papermaking to Protect the Environment
The Shu people used hemp, the Min people used tender bamboo, the Hai people used moss, the Wu people used cocoons, and the Chu people used pu. "For modern people, the ancient and traditional hand-made paper technology seems to have become far away. However, the traditional pure hand-made paper technology is still preserved in Lantian Yao Township in Lingchuan County, deep in the mountains.
The township is located in the northwest of Lingchuan County, with an annual output of 1 million Phyllostachys pubescens. It is the second largest Phyllostachys pubescens industrial base in Guangxi. In 2013, Lantian handmade papermaking skills were included in the third batch of Guilin municipal intangible cultural heritage representative projects. According to the "Lingchuan County Chronicle": Since the Qing Dynasty, bamboo paper was produced by bamboo farming in Jiuwu, Lantian, and fair villages. Xiang Paper produced by Jiuwu Huangmei and Lantian Nanao is an export product.
Recently, the reporter and his team drove from the urban area of ​​Guilin for two and a half hours to the Hekou team of Dongliang Village, Nanao Village Committee, Lantian Yao Township. I saw that the village was located on the middle of the mountain. A beautiful rural picture.
"When I was sensible, my father taught me to do this, and the craftsmanship of papermaking has been passed down from generation to generation. It has never been interrupted." Zhao Yucheng, a villager in Dongliang Village, introduced.
Native papermaking takes more than 30 processes, including cutting bamboo, peeling bamboo, dipping ponds, stepping materials, making paper, pressing paper, fishing pulp, picking pages, and drying. It takes six months to make finished straw paper.
On the day of the interview, the villagers broke bamboo hemp and walked into the village to smell the bamboo fragrance. "This season is when chopping bamboo and breaking bamboo hemp. From the selection of materials to the processing, every process is very particular. The bamboo is too tender and the fiber has not yet grown, too old to use." Township cadre Liu Mingjun on the basic process of papermaking Already familiar with the heart.
Every year at the end of spring and early summer, the villagers cut down the newly-grown young bamboo that was broken into bamboo pieces about 3 cm wide, put them into a dedicated pond, and soak them with lime for two months. Choose a good day, take out the soaked bamboo hemp, knead it in the pond or mountain stream, clean the lime remaining on the bamboo hemp, and then pile it in the pond, covered with a layer of straw, the mountain stream water Introduce Matang and continuously change water and air dry.
According to the villagers, the traditional treading of bamboo hemp is the happiest part of the papermaking process-picking the soaked bamboo hemp back to the paper mill, rubbing it with men, women and children at home, and then stacking it on bamboo weaves. Heap and step on hard, children can cheer and jump on the pile of hemp as much as possible. The adults also humming Yaoge while stepping on bamboo hemp ... until stepping on the hemp pulp.
The harvest of rice in September and October of the lunar calendar is the busiest time for papermaking. The villagers took advantage of the rare good weather to work overtime to squeeze bamboo pulp, make paper, squeeze paper, peel paper, and dry paper ...
"This is the product of our generation." Zhao Yucheng said, pointing at the jack for papermaking. In recent years, the young people in the village used machines to beat pulp and jack to squeeze paper, which was much more efficient than the original traditional stepping on bamboo hemp and using the original lever principle to squeeze wet paper.
"Papermaking is mainly concentrated in the two villages of Shentan and Dongliang Village. At its peak, every household in the village made paper." Said Deng Yizhu, deputy branch secretary of the Party Branch of Nan'ao Village.
"There are 23 households in our group, and there are currently 13 households making paper. The price is very low, only RMB 400 for a load. In 2014, the load could be sold to 700 yuan." Zhao Yucheng said. Due to the decline in the price of straw paper in recent years, more and more young people choose to go out to work.
"I get up at 4 a.m. every day, two or three people in my family take turns to pick up the pulp, and I can make a load by 10:30 at night. I can do 80-90 dan a year. There are 6 people in my family. There is basically no problem in life, but there is not much deposit "" Zhao Yucheng said with a smile.
Although the economic benefits of papermaking are not high, Zhao Yucheng said that he will continue to pass on this technology. On the one hand, making paper at home can better take care of his two children, and more importantly, he hopes that his grandfather's craftsmanship can be passed on.
Happily, the traditional paper-making workshops in the mountain village are also advancing with the times. With the suggestions of the township cadres, they plan to upgrade the straw paper to the next step-Zhao Yucheng and others produced the grass as early as 2015. Xuan paper, they plan to expand in this regard.
It is reported that due to technological reasons and small output, ancient papermaking has not caused pollution to the environment.
