00:00Do you know how the Chinese turned bamboo into paper?

00:03After harvesting, the outer layer of the bamboo is peeled off.

00:07The bamboo is then flattened, soaked in water, removed, and cut into short sections.

00:12These bundles are further soaked in a lime solution to remove impurities and help the

00:16bamboo fibers break down more easily.

00:19Next, the bamboo is thoroughly washed and boiled in large pots for several days until

00:24the fibers become completely soft.

00:27Once the bamboo reaches the desired softness, it is ground into a pulp using a traditional

00:31stone grinder.

00:33This bamboo pulp is then mixed with water and stirred to form a slurry.

00:37Skilled craftsmen use a special mold to gently scoop a thin layer of the slurry, creating

00:42the first sheet of wet paper.

00:44These sheets are then pressed to remove excess water and carefully placed on drying boards

00:48one by one.

00:50The final product is a type of paper with a smooth surface, high durability, and excellent

00:55ink absorption.

00:56Highly valued for calligraphy and traditional ink paintings.
