China calligraphy and painting paper is generally divided into raw rice paper, semi-cooked rice paper and cooked rice paper.
Raw rice paper has strong water absorption and water retention, and it is easy to produce rich Mo Yun changes. By splashing and accumulating ink, you can collect water and dilute ink, and achieve the artistic effect of leaving ink.
Cooked rice paper is coated with alum during processing, so the paper is harder than raw rice paper and has weak water absorption capacity.
Semi-cooked rice paper is also processed from raw rice paper, and its water absorption capacity is between the first two, and jade plate publicity belongs to this category.
A simple way to distinguish raw rice paper from cooked rice paper is:
1. When water touches the paper surface, the raw rice paper will be scattered immediately, and the cooked rice paper will remain basically unchanged.
