brief introduction

The forest and bamboo cover an area of more than 16000 mu. When you look around from the height, the vast bamboo sea is magnificent. Drive straight from the ancient town to Lugou natural scenic area. Along the way, green bamboos and clear streams make people feel refreshed.

The sites of papermaking in Song Dynasty are distributed in the ditch. Lugou is known as the bamboo sea of Qionglai. A road meanders into the ditch, and people walk in it like mountains, changing scenery. The ditch is full of big bluestones, and the bamboo on the rocks is all Neosinocalamus affinis, which is common in Bazi, Western Sichuan. It is rich in fiber and has toughness, and is the main raw material for papermaking.

At the site of papermaking in the Southern Song Dynasty, the ancient stone mills, stone cones and stone troughs are covered with moss and grass through Yiyi green bamboo in autumn. However, after a little investigation, it is found that papermaking here is powered by water, so the waterway design is very complicated. There is a small gate on the waterway where the big water mill is driven by flushing, and the speed, start and stop of the big water mill are controlled by the amount of water. The surplus water flows into the bamboo soaking tank. The big water mill is now abandoned, and there is a small water mill on the right side of the waterway, which is still in operation, but its main purpose is to grind corn flour. In addition, the process of pulping in and out of the big barrel is also very clever. And all the waterways are dug on the big Bluestone of Lugou, which is impossible without the design calculation on the drawings. According to Tiangong Kaiwu, an encyclopedia of ancient Chinese science and technology, which was written in the late Ming Dynasty, the ancient papermaking process is quite complicated. Only bamboo paper is made by the following main processes: breaking bamboo, retting bamboo, steaming, pounding, papermaking, pressing and drying.

details

In the second century AD, Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty invented "Caihou paper" with bark, rags and fishing nets as raw materials. Papermaking became one of the four great inventions in ancient China for the benefit of mankind. In ancient times, hemp paper was mainly used before Tang Dynasty, and bamboo paper and leather paper replaced it after Song Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, the official and private paper mills were mainly distributed in Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui, Zhejiang and Sichuan provinces. The raw materials were bamboo, woody bast fiber and straw, and the output of paper ranked first in the world. "When the bamboo shoots are born, the bamboo will grow branches and leaves according to the depth of the hill." (Tiangong Kaiwu. From the environment of bamboo production in Pingle, it is certain that the Ancient Papermaking in Pingle is bamboo paper. How the ancient papermaking was introduced to Pingle nine hundred years ago is still a mystery and a miracle. Papermaking technology was also an advanced technology in the world at that time. Pingle Ancient Town is about 300 miles away from Chengdu, the central city of Shu County, which was quite remote at that time. From the Southern Song Dynasty, some paper makers came here to make paper, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was quite developed. In addition to trafficking in the northwest along the Southern Silk Road, it also traveled far from Baimo River to the Yangtze River and sold to the south of the Yangtze River.
