Since the Tang Dynasty Princess Wencheng married Tubo, the papermaking technology from the Central Plains has been introduced to Tibet for more than 1,300 years. Since the 8th century, in order to translate Buddhist scriptures, the Tibetan people have continuously learned and borrowed the advanced papermaking skills of the surrounding ethnic groups, using local materials to produce Tibetan paper with unique local characteristics. Tibetan paper is made of Daphne chamaejasme, Aquilaria sinensis, the lamp tree of the Cornaceae family, and the wild camellia tree of the Ericaceae family as the main raw materials. According to the difference in the quality of the raw materials, Tibetan paper of various uses and grades can be made. The papermaking process generally includes peeling, pounding, steaming, retting, rinsing, pounding, pulping, and papermaking. The Tibetan papermaking industry has not only been fully promoted in Tibet, but also spread to India, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries. With the development of social history, Tibetan papermaking technology has formed a pattern of co-development of multiple types. Kang paper is produced in the eastern part of Tibet, Jindong paper, Tabu paper, Gongbu paper, Bodui paper, and Men paper (paper from Lhoba and Menba regions) are produced in the southern part of Tibet, and Ni paper, Zang paper, Nie paper (Nyalam paper), Mengga paper, Hui paper, and Ali paper are produced in the U-Tsang region. The improvement and popularization of papermaking technology has led to the emergence of many famous craftsmen in the Tibetan paper industry, and the creation of many finely crafted papers, such as Jindong paper produced in Tabu Jindong and famous throughout Tibet, and poisonous paper in Nyingchi County suitable for use in collections of documents. Many special paper products have attracted the attention of the world, such as the fine Tibetan paper for printing banknotes and stamps, and the exquisitely crafted gold and silver juice Tripitaka paper, which are obvious examples. Because the plateau is dry and oxygen-deficient, the raw materials are somewhat toxic, so Tibetan paper has the characteristics of anti-corrosion, anti-moth, and moisture-proof, and is easy to preserve for a long time. Its paper is relatively flexible and durable, and its colors are rich and varied, with decorative beauty. Superb Tibetan paper-making skills, a long history of Tibetan paper-making, and rich experience in Tibetan paper production have created a unique Tibetan paper culture. It is necessary to effectively protect this important intangible cultural heritage.
