It was a really easy trip. On the 19th, I told my husband that there were exactly three days, so why don't we go somewhere? After my husband agreed, we immediately prepared travel supplies and embarked on an early spring tour of southern Anhui early in the morning of the 20th.

The starting point of our journey is Jingxian, Xuancheng, Anhui. Perhaps the vast majority of people, like me, originally thought that rice paper, the four treasures of the study, was produced in Xuancheng. But the real origin of rice paper is Jingxian. I am really fortunate to visit the ancient rice paper making process that has been passed down for more than a thousand years, learn about the making processes of paper, ink, pens, inkstones, fans, paper curtains, etc., and can personally experience the production of paper, ink, pens, inkstones, fans, and paper curtains. Moreover, this trip is also educational and entertaining, allowing children to appreciate the charm of traditional culture.

Admission to the China Rice Paper Cultural Park is 50 yuan. When I went, it was March, and women were half price.

Children: Less than 1.2 meters (excluding), free;1.2 meters (inclusive) to 1.4 meters (excluding), half price

Elderly: 65 years old and above, free;60 years old (inclusive) to 65 years old (inclusive), half price

Soldiers: Free tickets with officer ID, free

Disabled people: Free tickets with disabled person ID, free of charge

The Rice Paper Cultural Park consists of seven parts: the Ancient Rice Paper Workshop, the Four Treasures Experience Park, the Rice Paper and World Paper Exhibition Hall, the Book Gallery (including the painter's studio), the Four Treasures of the Literature and Painting Market, and the Printing and Calligraphy Market of Ancient Books and Jiangnan Folk Garden.

This is the old workshop from the past that is well preserved.

The factory displays an eight-meter-long Chinese painting of rice paper. It's really shocking!

Only when I came to the Rice Paper Museum in Jingxian did I truly understand the rice paper of our country. Many people like to hang a few paintings and paintings by themselves or famous artists in their Chinese study to show their magnanimity. However, most people don't know that rice paper that is unbreakable, resistant to corrosion and moth-resistant, and moistens ink is actually not easy to manufacture.

[Selection of Materials] As an outstandingly unique among artificial paper, rice paper production actually includes two materials, one is green sandalwood bast, and the other is Shatian straw. The two require daily application of soaking, cleaning, steaming, spreading and drying before it can be used to make rice paper.

[Beach drying] The dried straw and green sandalwood bark are called Liaocao and Liaopi.

[Selection and picking] The fur formed after multiple layers of processes also needs to be manually inspected to remove unqualified soiled fur.

[Peal]

The so-called pestle of skin means that the masters place the fur in a stone mortar and use a large wooden hammer to carry out complex pestle and pressure. This process is long, until the fur is enough to bond into a rough piece of leather paper.

[Slice]

The pounded leather paper will be stacked and carefully cut with an old knife, and the pieces of leather paper will be cut into small square strips.

[Stepping Materials]

The leather material cut into square strips needs to be transferred to a special small jar and stepped on continuously. The raw materials are artificially stepped on and mixed into a ball. The stepping process is extremely difficult, and the rhythm, speed and strength are emphasized, and the three are evenly balanced.

[Bag Material]

The rolled materials also need to be placed in gauze bags and stirred back and forth in the pool. This step allows the "pulp" in the raw materials to be filtered by gauze and flow into the water.

[Fishing Paper]

Different from other processes, retrieving paper requires the cooperation of two masters. One master is responsible for holding the curtain, and the other is responsible for lifting the curtain. Under this repeated cooperation, rice paper in its infancy is presented. Everyone's eyes.

[Drying paper]

The moist rice paper also needs to be dried manually, put it in the drying room, brush the paper evenly on the baking wall with a loose bristle brush, and then peel it off after drying, so that a perfect rice paper is formed.

This trip was also very fortunate to meet Zhou Donghong, a national model worker who was very simple and approachable. When we went, he was "fishing for paper". He inherited the traditional handicrafts of the Chinese nation and worked meticulously. I really admire him very much.

After visiting the entire production process of rice paper, I was really impressed by the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese nation.

The road leading to the exhibition hall is paved with black and white stones. Black symbolizes ink and white symbolizes rice paper.

The exhibition hall is not large, but it is well arranged and very clean. The exhibition hall displays the making steps of rice paper and some old making tools.

The second floor is a display of calligraphy and painting works. There are many works by famous artists. It is a feast for the eyes. (However, no photos can be taken on the second floor)

There is also an experience center next to the first floor where you can lift a brush to test the charm of calligraphy!

The short tree behind me is the green sandalwood tree.

After completing the entire visit, I was really shocked. Jiajia also learned a lot and was impressed by the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese nation. There are children at home who really suggest coming here to have a look and feel the profoundness of Chinese civilization!

In 2006, rice paper making skills were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. September 30, 2009, traditional production of rice paper

The skills have been recognized by UNESCO and included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of mankind. I hope this inheritance can be inherited completely

Go and carry forward.

Starting from Shanghai early in the morning, driving to Jingxian and visiting the Rice Paper Cultural Park, it was already night. The three of us were also hungry and exhausted. We chose Hanting Hotel in Jingxian. Drive from China Rice Paper Cultural Park to Hanting Hotel 14 kilometers, about 20 minutes. The hotel is located in the Red Star Macalline on the east side of Tongxin Road, Jingchuan Town.

The three of us chose a family room, which was very spacious. There is a double bed and a single bed, equipped with a sofa, coffee table and small desk, which is quite comfortable. The key is that the price is cheap, only 164 yuan!

Early the next morning, we washed up and finished breakfast and set out for the "Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Line".

The Sichuan-Tibet Line in southern Anhui has been very famous in recent years, and I have been longing for it for a long time, but this time I finally got my wish. It basically takes about 5 hours from Shanghai to the 324-kilometer Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui. The mysterious "Sichuan-Tibet Line" in southern Anhui starts from Qinglong Township in Ningguo City in the east, ends in Qinxi County in Jingxian in the west, ends in Caijiaqiao Town in the south, and ends in Xuancheng City in the north. Its most essential section is about 120 kilometers long. This route passes through Jingting Mountain in Jiangnan, which is favored by the poet immortal Li Bai; China's Crocodile Lake, which has been included in the World Natural Heritage Reserve List; Shumoting River, the last original ecological "pure land of heaven and earth" in southern Anhui; The Taoling seven-star winding mountain highway is winding and winding, with thousands of walls and 180-degree curves. Along the route, there are not only the beauty of mountains and rivers in Guilin, Guangxi, but also the wonder of the stone forests in Yunnan, as well as the steepness of the 218 Sichuan-Tibet Line. It has the unique essence of southern Anhui's mountains and rivers, with twists and turns, and beautiful scenery. The green mountains and bamboo seas are continuous, the green waters and clear lakes are clear, and the ancient towns and villages are far away. It is the best choice for cycling and self-driving.

This time we chose the route to the entrance of Jingxian:

Jingxian--Langqiao Town, Jingxian--Caicun Town, Jingxian--Tingxi Township, Jingxian (passing through the seven-star bend of the Sichuan-Tibet Line in Anhui)--Fangtang Township, Ningguo--Guangde

There are green mountains and clear waters along the way. The road is relatively dangerous, but the road surface is quite smooth and the journey is relaxed and relaxed.

After driving for a while, the cars in front slowed down one after another. There was a large group of monkeys. We also opened the car window and threw bananas and other snacks to them. Being able to have such close contact with the monkey made Jiajia very happy.

The time we came was the season when rapeseed flowers were in full bloom. I have long heard that the rapeseed flowers in southern Anhui are beautiful, right? We saw large tracts of rapeseed flowers along the way, and couldn't wait to get off the bus to enjoy the flowers. What we saw was the aroma of rapeseed flowers and felt the breath of spring!

We originally planned to go to Moon Bay and Shumoting River to play, but the scenery along the way was very good, so we stopped and walked. When we saw something attractive, we stopped and played for a while. In fact, it was really good to wander like this.

For those of us living in Shanghai, we can put up POSE without having to look at heads like we go to tourist attractions. This is the best thing.

Such a mountain village and town is really beautiful. There are no hustle and bustle of human beings. All you hear is the wonderful chirping of insects and birds and the gurgling stream. The air was so fresh, and the faint fragrance of flowers filled the breath. This is spring!

Clear streams can be seen everywhere. Unfortunately, the weather was too cold when we came. If it was summer, this area would be a good place to play in the water. It must be a summer resort and a paradise for children.

The rocks and rocks along the way are steep, a bit like the feeling of visiting the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

There are many small pavilions and small scenery along the way that incorporate Huizhou characteristics, so you can stop and stroll.

People usually travel directly from Ningguo back to Shanghai when visiting the "Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Line". However, since we passed through Ningguo many times to Anhui, we chose to return to Shanghai from Guangde, Anhui this time.

The next night we chose Home Inn Guangde Branch. The hotel is located in Aimin Road Government District, located in the center of Guangde City, with convenient transportation and convenient parking. Opening the window of the room, you can see Guangde Wuliangxi Riverside Park and Guangde Experimental Middle School, giving a wide view.

We still chose the family room, which was clean and tidy. The price is not expensive, 188 yuan.

The hotel put down our luggage and after a short rest, the three of us walked to the Huizhou Restaurant in the small courtyard on the second floor of Jinxin World Trade Plaza on Tiangong Mountain Road for dinner.

This shop in Xiaoyuan was recommended by many people. We also wanted to try Anhui cuisine, so we came here. It's not far from the hotel, and it's only fifteen minutes for the three of us to walk here slowly.

The store is easy to find, and you can see a big sign outside. The decoration in the store also has the characteristics of Hui-style architecture.

White walls and black tiles, pavilions and pavilions, and the simple and elegant environment are eye-catching. The slogans on the wall are very contemporary and give people a feeling of traveling through.

Huangshan stinky mandarin fish is worthy of being the local signature dish. The mandarin fish has firm meat and delicious taste.

The price is also relatively friendly to the people. The three of us ate 380 yuan.

The cost of this trip was very low, and the refueling fee cost 1200 yuan for three days. We only entered one fee-paying attraction, the Rice Paper Cultural Park. We plan to go again in summer. The water here is very shallow and clear, and the water will not be too rapid. It is very suitable for taking children to play in the water. Through this exploration, I felt that I didn't have to go to the attractions. I could park at a suitable place and play. I was very comfortable. This is really a good place to relax, wash your lungs, and get close to nature.
