AI Technical Summary
Existing Xuan paper is susceptible to insect infestation and mold during storage, which can damage calligraphy and painting works. There is a lack of effective measures to prevent insect infestation.
Saffron liquid is added during the Xuan paper making process. By utilizing the insect-repellent and mildew-proof properties of saffron, and by adjusting the paper-lifting angle and frequency as well as the stirring frequency, the saffron fibers are ensured to be evenly distributed, avoiding sticking or bubbling, thus producing saffron-infused Xuan paper.
It improves the insect and mildew resistance of Xuan paper, enhances the preservation life of calligraphy and painting works, and increases the ornamental value and anti-counterfeiting function of Xuan paper through the natural distribution of saffron fibers.
Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of Xuan paper making, and particularly relates to a special Xuan paper making process with saffron. BACKGROUND
[0002] Xuan paper is the main carrier of artistic forms such as calligraphy and painting. The preservation of Xuan paper calligraphy and painting is very important, and requires appropriate temperature and humidity control, mounting process, and regular detection and maintenance, etc. However, some calligraphy and painting works are still damaged by insect damage, mouse bite, mold, etc., which makes people regret.
[0003] Therefore, insect and moth prevention is always a problem that needs to be focused on in the preservation of calligraphy and painting works. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a saffron silk Xuan paper making process, which makes insect and moth prevention Xuan paper from the Xuan paper itself, so that the Xuan paper calligraphy and painting works have insect and moth prevention function.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a saffron silk Xuan paper making process, comprising the following steps:
[0006] (1) preparing saffron liquid: soaking dry saffron in water for more than 12 hours to obtain saffron liquid;
[0007] (2) preparing pulp: preparing pulp according to the pulp ratio of silk Xuan paper;
[0008] (3) adding saffron liquid and fishing paper: adding saffron liquid to the prepared pulp before fishing paper, stirring uniformly, and then starting the fishing paper operation.
[0009] The above scheme soaks saffron and adds it to the Xuan paper making process, imparts the insect and mold prevention function of saffron to Xuan paper products, and improves the easy preservation performance of Xuan paper calligraphy and painting works; and the prepared Xuan paper is slightly yellow in color, with uniform saffron fiber texture on the paper surface, so that the Xuan paper product shows a simple and natural sense, and the saffron fiber is naturally incorporated, which can be used as a natural "anti-fake mark". DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] The technical scheme of the present application will be further described below.
[0011] A saffron silk Xuan paper making process, comprising the following steps:
[0012] (1) preparing saffron liquid: soaking dry saffron in water for more than 12 hours to obtain saffron liquid;
[0013] (2) preparing pulp: preparing pulp according to the pulp ratio of silk Xuan paper;
[0014] (3) Add saffron liquid and fish paper: add saffron liquid to the prepared pulp before fishing paper, and start fishing paper operation after stirring evenly.
[0015] What we usually call saffron refers to the style part of the flower. Each purple saffron has only three styles, which need to be carefully picked by hand before sunrise and dried to become a precious spice and medicinal material. The main active ingredients of saffron, crocin and saffron aldehyde, have antioxidant effect and can improve the shelf life of rice paper products. And saffron will emit a unique and rich smell, which can interfere with and repel the olfactory sense of some pests, so they are reluctant to approach, thus playing the role of "odor barrier". Therefore, the addition of saffron gives rice paper the function of preventing insect damage.
[0016] Specifically, taking the production of four feet specification rice paper as an example. Saffron liquid preparation:
[0017] Pick and dry saffron for standby, soak 110-130g (preferably 120g) of dry saffron in 20kg of water for 12 hours or more to get saffron liquid one; soak 40-60g (preferably 50g) of dry saffron in 10kg of water for 12 hours or more to get saffron liquid two.
[0018] According to the batching method of Mianlian rice paper, pulp is prepared with 60-70% sandalwood pulp and 30-40% roasted grass pulp.
[0019] The way to add saffron liquid is: when grooving, add saffron liquid one to the fishing paper pulp pool; add saffron liquid two to the fishing paper pulp pool every time the pulp is supplemented. In actual operation, the pulp is usually prepared once a day, and the fishing paper operation starts after the first time. The first time is called grooving, and then the pulp is supplemented every 70-120 times of fishing paper. Usually, the pulp concentration is slightly higher when grooving, and the saffron liquid one with slightly higher concentration is added; then, the pulp is supplemented, and since there is still saffron in the tank, only saffron liquid two with slightly lower concentration needs to be supplemented.
[0020] Because of the large difference between saffron and rice paper pulp, some improvements need to be made on the basis of ordinary fishing paper process to reduce the rate of waste paper and improve the quality of saffron rice paper products.
[0021] First of all, the fishing angle needs to be adjusted.
[0022] The papermaking operation is cooperated by two people, namely, a palm curtain master and a curtain supporting master, namely, one person controls the operation of the papermaking curtain, and the other person assists in keeping balance. After the papermaking curtain enters the water and lifts part of the pulp, in the up-and-down action of the papermaking curtain at an angle of about 30° between the head and tail and the horizontal plane (commonly known as the sizing angle), the pulp repeatedly flows on the papermaking curtain and uniformly distributes the fibers in the pulp on the curtain to form paper. The ordinary rice paper only needs to be up-and-down 1-2 times to complete the papermaking, and after adding saffron liquid, in order to uniformly distribute the saffron fibers, the sizing angle is adjusted from 30° to 15° (here, it is not an accurate angle in the mathematical sense, and the sizing angle is roughly reduced by about half), and the up-and-down times are adjusted to 4-5 times, so that the pulp runs smoothly on the curtain, uniformly "spreads" the saffron fibers on the papermaking curtain, and also helps the sandalwood fiber and the burnt grass fiber to completely wrap the saffron fiber and not to excessively accumulate beside the saffron fiber, thereby ensuring the quality of the rice paper.
[0023] Secondly, the pulp in the papermaking tank needs to be stirred frequently during the papermaking process to make the pulp and the saffron blend. In the process of ordinary rice paper papermaking operation, the pulp is stirred once every 50 papers, while the pulp in the tank needs to be stirred once every 2-8 papers when making saffron rice paper. This is because saffron is soft and flexible, and even after soaking for a long time, the fibers are still relatively complete, so the saffron fiber is heavier than the sandalwood fiber and the burnt grass fiber, and is easy to sink, so in order to ensure the uniform distribution of the saffron fiber in the pulp, it needs to be stirred frequently.
[0024] In addition, to avoid sticking or blistering.
[0025] The saffron has not been beaten, and its fibers are longer and thicker than the sandalwood fiber and the burnt grass fiber, so during the papermaking process, the fibers near the saffron fibers tend to accumulate, causing sticking or blistering on the paper. If not treated, the amount of waste paper in the paper unrolling process will increase greatly, so during the papermaking process, water needs to be sprayed on the paper every 2-5 papers, and paper medicine is preferably added to the water, that is, the water is a low-concentration aqueous solution of paper medicine, to remove air and make the paper layer more conformable, and eliminate paper sticking and blistering.
[0026] The saffron rice paper made by the scheme of the present application not only can improve the ornamental value of the rice paper painting works, but also is more beneficial to the preservation of the painting works due to the slight toxicity and insect and moth resistance of saffron.
