Chapter 157 Golden Millet Paper

Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng, especially Mao Peng, didn't even know that their proud disciple was behind them and grabbed a lot of golden millet paper.

"did not expect!"

"I really didn't expect to see such good paper in my lifetime!"

Mao Peng sighed very much.

Jinsu paper or Jinsujian paper, also known as Tibetan scripture paper, was originally made for monasteries to copy scriptures, because each sheet had a small rectangular red seal "Jinsushan Tibetan scriptures" "Paper", so this kind of paper is called golden millet paper.

This kind of paper is made of mulberry skin and Chu skin as the main materials. The biggest feature is that the two sides of the paper are waxed and polished, plus the use of potion dyeing, so the final finished paper is yellow and very thick. , The texture is thicker but finer than ordinary paper, the paper is hard but extremely smooth, and the important thing is that it is less worm-eaten and can not rot for thousands of years.

This is very important for calligraphers, especially calligraphers. Who doesn't want their works to be circulated for thousands of years?

After the appearance of gold millet paper, it was quickly accepted by calligraphers and painters and was highly respected. Many calligraphers and painters in the Ming Dynasty liked to use this kind of paper for calligraphy and painting. For example, it is explained that Shenzhou's "Journey to the West Mountains", Wen Huiming's "Withered Tree and Youlan", "He Shitian's Falling Flower Poems" and Zhu Yunming's "Chibi Fu" all use gold millet paper. The texture of these papers is better preserved.

"Golden millet paper is indeed a very rare good thing, but unfortunately, the skill was gradually lost in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Sheng sighed. After the golden millet paper making technique was lost, of course later generations wanted to imitate it, but the effect was not good. During the Qing Dynasty, the imperial palace specially sent people to purchase from various places in the private sector, but the quantity was not large. Qianlong liked to use it for poetry writing. The text or decoration, etc., will be consumed soon. If there is no way, I simply order the official paper bureau of the palace to imitate it. Regardless of the cost, the final paper produced is light tortoiseshell, and there are light-colored round spots on it. , with the seal of "Qianlong Year Imitation Jinsu Mountain Tibetan Sutra Paper" in vermilion, rectangular, mainly used for copying or printing Buddhist scriptures.

"The gold millet paper that can be seen now, the blank ones, are mostly imitations during the Qianlong period. There are still differences in the production process and level of the two, and undoubtedly the Song Dynasty is more powerful!"

Zhao Sheng looked at the paper in his hand with a fascinated look in his eyes.

Song paper!

This is a serious paper from the Song Dynasty, about 1,000 years from now.

Looking at such paper, it seems to see the history of a thousand years ago!

This feeling is very strange.

"Tang Miaomiao, Song Yun, how much paper do you have on hand?"

"I got it all!"

Mao Peng "awakes" and speaks immediately. This kind of paper is obviously a crazy temptation for a calligrapher and painter like him. How can he not take it when he encounters it?

money?

This is not a problem at all!

How much do you want?

"Old Mao, what do you mean by this? You bought it all? Can't I buy it?"

When Zhao Sheng heard Mao Peng say this, he quit and wanted to take it all by himself. Such a thing could never be tolerated.

"I spoke first, and of course I sold them all to me. First come, last come. You have lived a long time. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Mao Peng did not show weakness.

"You speak first, and everything is yours?"

"You are so arrogant, why don't you go to heaven?"

"Seeers have a share, saying that I don't understand the truth, and you don't understand the truth. This age really lived on the dog!"

Zhao Sheng slammed back directly, not retreating half a step.

"No matter what you say, I bought these papers first, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"Fart! Whoever sees it, you want to eat this paper alone, unless the sun comes out from the west."

"What do you mean? Do you want to practice?!"

"Practice, practice! Are you afraid you won't succeed?"

...

Peng Guo was very helpless, and quarreled again. There was nothing to do. This kind of thing happened too many times, and there was no way to persuade him.

"What should we do now?"

Tang Miaomiao looked dumbfounded. The two highly respected old men had just finished choking and now they are starting again. They are both of a lot of age. Don't you think that arguing like this will be very tiring, they are just two old children.

"There's no good way. We can only stop when they get tired of arguing. Let's talk about it at that time!"

Peng Guo really had nothing to do. At this time, no one could persuade Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng.

"When does this have to wait?"

Tang Miaomiao shook her head, Zhao Sheng and Mao Peng were full of anger, and the drool was flying everywhere. Who knows when the quarrel will be, and it won't stop in an hour or two.

Song Yun was very speechless. The quarrel between Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng was just a lip-smacking addiction, and they kept shouting that they wanted to fight, saying that no one did it for a long time, which was really boring.
