Xuan Paper
宣纸
Writing paper for Chinese painting and calligraphy was produced in Jing County, Anhui Province. During the Tang Dynasty, Jing County was under the official administration of Xuanzhou Prefecture. Jing paper had to be transported to Xuanzhou before it was distributed elsewhere. So this paper was named xuan paper. It absorbs ink well and shows clearly the lines and strokes. It has great tensile strength, and it retains its quality a long time. Artists prefer using xuan paper mainly because their paintings and calligraphy can last many years.
中国书画纸产生于安徽省的泾县。唐朝时期，泾县由宣州官府管理。泾纸在分到别处之前必须先运到宣州。因此，这种纸被命名为宣纸。它有很好的吸收墨水的效果，能够清楚地显示出的线条和笔画。它具有极大的拉伸强度，其保质量很长的时间。艺术家们喜欢用宣纸，主要是因为他们的绘画和书法可以保留很多年。
