Located at the intersection of Xijiang River and Beijiang River, the ancient papermaking skills of Sihui City are mainly concentrated in Dengcun Town. According to the county annals and relevant genealogy records, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Zhang, Chen, Cheng, and Shen families migrated from the Central Plains to Dengcun and settled there, bringing with them the technology of making paper with bamboo. Dengcun is surrounded by mountains, with long streams and bamboo forests everywhere, and has rich papermaking resources. The ancient papermaking skills have been passed down and have a history of more than 800 years. The paper made by the ancient method in Sihui is generally called Hui paper, which is made of bamboo that is abundant in the local area. Papermaking facilities include salting pools, water pounding workshops, paper troughs, drying yards, papermaking workshops, etc. The main papermaking tools are curtain frames, bamboo curtains, and pressing rods. The production process includes more than 20 processes such as cutting bamboo, beating bamboo, salting bamboo, breaking bamboo, pounding bamboo, beating pulp, papermaking, pressing paper, loosening paper, drying paper, and packaging. The bamboo is first pickled in a lime pool for half a year, then soaked in clean water for 4 months, and then piled for half a month before pulping. The method is to install a waterwheel in the mountain stream to drive the wooden pestle to pound the gray bamboo into pulp, so that paper can be made and pressed. Its main process is consistent with the papermaking techniques of Cai Lun described in the ancient books "Bowuzhi" and "Hou Han Shu Jijie" 1,900 years ago, and is also consistent with the ancient papermaking method recorded in Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" in the Ming Dynasty. It is a living example of papermaking, one of the four great inventions of ancient my country. Hui paper has rough fibers, light yellow or earthy yellow in color, strong hygroscopicity, and dark burning characteristics, and burns completely. It is mostly used in the production of paper boxes, cardboards, firecrackers, lion heads and even funeral products. It is also used to make paper and paper media. In addition, it is cheap and widely used in people's daily life. It was sold in Guangzhou, Foshan, Hong Kong and Macao in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and exported to Southeast Asia. A few years ago, painters tried to paint with Hui paper and used modern techniques to create unique works of art to participate in the 2004 Attia Visual Art Exhibition in Athens, which aroused great interest and positive evaluation in the art world and opened up new uses for Hui paper. In order to protect the ancient papermaking skills, the local government has established the "Ancient Papermaking Exhibition Hall" to introduce the history of papermaking in my country and the "Ancient Papermaking Hall" to display papermaking skills. However, due to the emergence of a large number of new paper products and plastic substitutes, Hui paper production has been greatly impacted. In addition, due to the limitations of family workshop production and the fact that young people are unwilling to engage in this kind of manual operation with high labor intensity and low economic benefits, the ancient papermaking skills of Sihui are in an endangered state and more effective protection measures are urgently needed.
