In short, Xuan Paper's true paper is a combination of the three conditions of “the weather, the geographical advantage, and the people†and is indispensable. The weather, geography, and humanity constitute the three barriers of rice paper self-protection: a natural barrier, namely, raw materials, medicines, and water, which cannot be completely replaced. These conditions cannot be set by any foreign and foreign lands. Technical barriers, that is, the subtleties of manual operations, even if some flow operations are mechanized or even modernized, the key link in the production of rice paper still relies on handwork. Its mysteries and essence are not passed down from generation to generation, and long-term practice is not available. There is also a humanity. The social barrier, which is mainly through the long-term use inspection of Xuan County Xuan Paper, has formed a strong psychological identity. Only the Xuan Paper of Ji County is the authentic rice paper, and it has become a consensus among people, so we can say without fear that the real There is no disclosure of rice paper craftsmanship, and it is impossible to leak secrets.
In the past, the thing concerning the disclosure of rice paper was exactly what we are now propagating. The essential requirement of the secrecy of the information society is papermaking and technological advancement.
In the traditional small peasant economic society, Xuan Paper’s production technology is limited to Xiaoxian County and its surrounding areas due to its small output. The people who master this production technology are limited to only one surname or a few minority surnames, and they also share the same clan society. In combination, it is particularly a special means of earning a living, so it can be kept secret for a long period of time. It has become a unique skill that has been handed down from generation to generation. From Xuan Paper to Zhenming, up to the 1940s, Xiaoling Cao's Cao's (including Cao's who had set up a paper slot outside of Xiaoling) in Xuan Paper, where Xuan Paper was the generation's livelihood, had foreign affairs. The traditional customs of secrecy, that is, the core technology of rice paper production, and the key processes of transmission, do not pass on women, pass on the news, and use rice paper production technology as a "rice bowl" for generations. As early as May 1928, some people pointed out that “Xuan County's rice paper industry is located in Xiaoling Village. This person has many Cao's. It lives in secrecy and does not give light to people. Therefore, it is common in Jiangxi Province and Japan today. The quality of the product is better than that of Jixian County." This is still the case in China, not to mention other countries. ! In addition, rice paper producers intentionally or unintentionally demystify the production techniques of rice paper, even if the internal members of the rice paper production strictly adhere to the secret, but also outsiders do not dare to look at it, automatically eliminate the idea of ​​involvement in the finger. In addition, the investment in rice paper production is relatively large in the old days, and even if all goes well, it can only start to obtain benefits after one year, and it is impossible for ordinary people to easily invest in the production of rice paper. Therefore, in the traditional society, the confidentiality of Xuan Paper's production techniques is very effective. The imitation production is limited to the minimum and the minimum.
Later, with the progress of society, more and more people are using rice paper. More and more domestic talents know that Xuanzhi's ancestors in Xuanzhou and Xiaoling of Cao County are the inventors of Xuan Paper. Only gradually learned the general production process of Xuan paper. Some foreigners also learned about Xuan Paper's origin, main raw materials, and general process flow through stealing. With the passage of time, with the study of the nature of Xuan Paper, we have realized that in the past, the thing concerning the disclosure of Xuan Paper was exactly what we wanted to vigorously promote under the conditions of the socialist market economy. This is because, with the advancement of science and technology, copying rice paper has become an easy task. As long as one buys rice paper, it can test its composition, and its rough process flow can also be guessed and then copied. It is said that Xuan Paper has lost the need for confidentiality, and not only does it not need to be kept secret, but also vigorously promotes the authentic origin of Xuan Paper and the unique production techniques of Xuan Paper. Its purpose is to reveal the difference between Xuan Paper and imitation Xuan Paper and tells consumers about Xuan Paper. Unique characteristics such as durability, insect resistance, ink repellency, and texture stability of paper, the unique production environment of rice paper production, and the production methods that are mainly characterized by artificial production in the production of rice paper, thereby combating counterfeiting. At present, in the international and domestic markets, a large part of it is imitation of rice paper. Its production method is obviously the same as the production method of rice paper, but the key raw material is a substitute of rice paper raw materials—Qingtan and Tantian straw. Its quality and use effect are far lower than that of Xuan Paper. However, these imitation rice papers have been branded as Xuan Paper. This has tainted consumers and damaged the reputation of Xuan Paper. Therefore, it is now necessary to 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 “confidentialâ€. I do not know the real thing, which know what fake it? Therefore, the general rice paper consumers have the real need to clarify the difference between true propaganda and imitation, and correctly and properly choose their own consumer behavior. As for the painters and painters, as well as historians, historians of science and technology, and paper-making experts, it is more necessary to have a more comprehensive understanding of all aspects of Xuan Paper and to understand the multifaceted value of Xuan Paper. The People's Government of Jingxian County held the first International Rice Paper Art Festival in 1993 and also held the first International Rice Paper Academic Conference. This not only raised the popularity of Xuan Paper at home and abroad, but also promoted the economic and trade relations between Xuan Paper and domestic and overseas markets. Very far-sighted approach.
Earlier some years ago, some news media published some people’s claims that the production technology of rice paper has been completely leaked. The author believes that under the condition that modern scientific and technological conditions are well developed, this statement is not entirely out of production conditions for rice paper. To understand, or to get to know a little, is to preach what people are saying. Anyone who knows Xuan Paper knows that even if it is even more advanced imitation rice paper, it cannot be compared with Xuan Paper. The difference between true propaganda and imitation propaganda is clear and obvious, especially its use effect. It is a far cry from the difference. The old papermaking industry's veteran, the well-known paper-making theory and paper-making history research experts Mr. Yu Yu and Mr. Liu Renqing all believe that there is no problem of disclosure of Xuan paper. Many operators and managers in Xuan paper-producing area think Xuan paper. Leakage is practically impossible. Therefore, the writer thinks it is necessary to appeal the truth to the public so that people have an objective view and evaluation of this issue.
The expert who has engaged in the research of papermaking technology innovation for more than 20 years, Professor Pan Zuyao of the Institute of Forest Products Industry of Anhui Agricultural University, also discussed his views on the disclosure and confidentiality of Xuan Paper. He said: “The problem of leakage and confidentiality of Xuan Paper, I think the disclosure has been already The disclosure of imitation rice paper came out decades ago, and it is difficult to keep it confidential even if it is confidential nowadays, not to mention the specific conditions and elements of rice paper production cannot be satisfied or simulated, but we must stand higher in our understanding and the key to the problem. It is now in the age of information society, relying on high-tech leadership, and our rice paper production is labor-intensive, and many production processes still practice physical production. This production method is not something of the times. There is no confidentiality issue, because foreigners will never be able to do whatever you like. What foreigners have to do is use modern science and technology to research your things and replace them with more advanced things. You, this is the law of the development of modern science and technology. Rather than arguing about confidentiality and confidentiality, it is better to speed up research. Xuan Paper's process technology has entered the world's advanced papermaking technology and will always remain at the leading level! Otherwise, we will eventually fall behind one day." The author and Professor Pan agreed that accelerating the development of rice paper and intensifying research on the new technology of rice paper. It is still an urgent task before us. The leading edge in process technology is the best confidentiality, the most reliable confidentiality, and it is not in the process, it is not confidential. In the past, the thing concerning the disclosure of Xuan Paper was precisely what we are now propagating. The essential requirement of the secrecy of the information society is papermaking innovation and technology leadership.
