A piece of history
Using this feels like stepping back into the Qing dynasty. The color palette of the printed flowers is subtle and elegant, not overpowering the calligraphy. Highly recommended for enthusiasts.

Perfect absorption rate
As a semi-sized paper, the absorption is balanced. It allows for some spreading which gives character to the strokes, yet maintains clarity. The deer glue sizing makes it smooth to write on.

Beautiful but delicate
The floral patterns are stunning and very authentic to the Ming style. It is quite thin, so you need a steady hand, but that is expected for high-quality Xuan paper. Great for special letters.

Great for gifts
I bought this to write poetry gifts for friends. The presentation is lovely, and the paper quality exceeds the price point. Just be careful not to use too much water in your ink.

Exquisite traditional quality
The texture of this paper is incredible. The mulberry bark blend holds ink beautifully without bleeding too much, perfect for my small regular script practice. The woodblock print adds a genuine antique feel.

Smooth writing experience
The surface is incredibly smooth thanks to the processing. My brush glides effortlessly. The 'one-stroke flower' design is intricate and inspires creativity during my daily practice sessions.
Q: Does the woodblock print fade over time?
A: The pigments used in our Shizhuzhai series are archival quality and designed to resist fading when stored away from direct sunlight, preserving the Ming and Qing aesthetic for years.
Q: What size sheets are included in one pack?
A: Each pack contains standard letter-sized sheets optimized for correspondence and short poems, typically measuring around 25cm x 35cm, though slight variations occur due to the handmade process.
Q: Is the deer glue safe for people with allergies?
A: The deer glue used is processed traditionally and present in minimal amounts as a sizing agent. If you have severe animal product allergies, we recommend testing a single sheet first.
Q: Can I use liquid ink sticks or should I stick to bottled ink?
A: Both work well! However, grinding an ink stick often yields richer tones that complement the mulberry bark texture of this specific paper type.
Q: Is this paper suitable for beginners practicing basic strokes?
A: Yes, the semi-sized nature of this Xuan paper provides a forgiving surface for beginners while still offering the authentic feel needed to develop proper technique.
