Until the final step, after drying, the paper is finished and set aside.
Gu Xuan took out a piece of paper.
I demonstrated it in the live stream.
The entire sheet of paper was as white as jade.
'What kind of paper is this? It's so beautiful.'
'It really looks good.'
The Xuan paper displayed by Gu Xuan has shocked many people.
They had never seen such pure white Xuan paper before.
Although we can now produce pure white paper, it's all made with added bleach.
The production of this Xuan paper did not involve adding any of those ingredients to create such a pure white paper.
How did you do that?
'I'm curious too.'
"What do you all think of this Xuan paper?"
'The paper is indeed beautiful, but how is the writing experience?'
Someone who understood the situation asked the key question directly.
Gu Xuan answered with a smile.
"You'll find out soon enough."
Gu Xuan brought writing brushes and ink with him before he arrived.
I'd also like to try making my own paper.
Go outside and place the paper on the table.
Use a paperweight to hold it down.
I grind the ink myself.
'Brother Xuan is going to write something, but does he even know calligraphy?'
'You look very professional.'
'Does Brother Xuan also know calligraphy?'
'Possibly.'
'I don't believe it, how could one person know so much?'
'Just keep watching and you'll find out.'
The fans in the live stream were all watching intently.
The ink grinding is complete.
Gu Xuan picked up the brush and dipped it in ink.
After a brief moment of thought, I wrote a few lines on the paper.
"Its skin is like a membrane, firm and clean as jade, thin and smooth."
Write down twelve characters.
You can feel how smooth the writing is when you write.
It's not much different from the Chengxintang paper that the system gave away before.
After finishing writing, Gu Xuan muttered to himself.
"It's a success."
He knew he had succeeded from the moment he wrote the first word.
Having acquired calligraphy and painting skills gives one a strong feel for writing on paper.
Although there are slight differences between the Chengxin Hall I built and the one given by the system, most people cannot tell the difference.
After finishing writing, Gu Xuan picked it up and showed it off.
"How was it? I think my writing was pretty good."
Everyone who saw Gu Xuan's calligraphy felt that he wrote it very well.
'The streamer really knows calligraphy.'
'I didn't believe it at first either.'
'I never expected Brother Xuan to be so amazing.'
Don't you think these words look familiar?
'This place feels familiar.'
'I feel like I've seen this in some record somewhere.'
'What's the meaning.'
Suddenly a message popped up in the live stream.
'I know it's a type of paper used for writing, and specifically, a type of paper that only exists in records.'
What kind of paper?
'Could it be a lost art of papermaking?'
'It's not lost paper, but legendary paper. No method for making this paper has been passed down; only the paper itself has survived.'
"Don't keep me in suspense upstairs."
'Yes, hurry up and say it.'
Many people are starting to get impatient.
'Chengxintang Paper.'
After those four words were uttered, the entire live stream chat fell silent for a long time.
'No way.'
'How is that possible? Only the paper itself exists; the manufacturing method is not recorded.'
'yes.'
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it either.
'But the paper looks the same as the description.'
This attracted the attention of many calligraphy enthusiasts.
The first sentence upon entering.
'Chengxintang paper, really?'
Gu Xuan continued to demonstrate to them.
But many people commented after seeing it.
'It seems to be true.'
Even though they were separated by a screen, they could tell the difference between what was real and what was fake.
Many people believe it to be true.
Even some museum staff came to see it.
Until the curator of an ancient paper museum arrived.
He sent a comment after reviewing it.
'I'm certain this is Chengxintang paper.'
The barrage of comments appeared.
Many people have questions.
They fell silent after seeing the profile picture and the other person's name.
'No way, the curator of the ancient paper museum... could that be a fake name?'
'no.'
"That means Brother Xuan made Chengxintang paper."
'Hasn't everything been decided?'
'Director, really?'
At this point, the curator sent out another message.
'I can say with certainty that it is.'
This caused quite a stir among calligraphy enthusiasts in the live stream.
This is the most famous Xuan paper from ancient times to the present.
Many people have been asking if they can place an order.
"I'll get it made first, but I'm not sure how many I can make yet."
The curator of the Ancient Paper Museum continued to send messages.
'Host, how did you obtain the production method for Chengxintang paper?'
Upon seeing this message, Gu Xuan smiled and said.
"It was found in an ancient book, and the details are recorded there."
'How is that possible? No method for making Chengxintang paper has been passed down.'
"If something has been done, there will definitely be a record, but no one knows where the record is. I only obtained this record by chance, which is why I was able to perfectly replicate Chengxintang paper."
The curator was even more shocked after hearing this.
'Unbelievable, streamer, can I come find you?'
"Can."
Gu Xuan knew that stopping them was useless, and that there might be more things to come.
In addition, Gu Xuan has other plans. Besides places for sightseeing, he also wants to build several quiet environments so that these literati and people who love calligraphy and painting can have their own space.
After Gu Xuan agreed, the curator on the other side was extremely excited.
Gu Xuan is still making Chengxintang paper here.
Let's finish making all these papers first.
This process took a whole day.
In one day, more than a dozen reams of Chengxintang paper were made.
"I never expected to be able to make so many."
Many fans in the live stream wanted the papers displayed in front of them.
'Can the streamer sell me a few tickets?'
'I want one too.'
Besides fans, some calligraphy and painting enthusiasts are also inquiring.
Even members of calligraphy and painting associations appeared.
These people are also seeking Chengxintang paper.
Gu Xuan doesn't yet know at what price to sell it for.
I thought about it for a while.
"We won't sell today. Tomorrow I'll create a link and put it in the online store for sale. Just so you know, the raw materials needed for Chengxintang paper are quite rare and expensive."
Make it clear to everyone in advance.
Those who need these things in the live streaming room are also very clear about them.
They all said.
'We know the price very well.'
'Yes, it's normal for such famous paper to be a bit more expensive.'
No one objected, and Gu Xuan nodded in agreement.
"You can buy it tomorrow."
After finishing chatting with the viewers in the live stream, I ended the live stream.
The live stream had just ended when my phone rang.
It was Fang Shiqing calling.
Gu Xuan was a little curious.
"Shiqing, you called me right after I finished my broadcast."
"I saw you ended your live stream."
"Oh, you missed me."
"Hmph, no."
"Then why did you call me?"
"I must have called you because I need something."
Gu Xuan was slightly taken aback.
"What is it?"
"Um."
Fang Shiqing didn't know how to start the conversation.
Gu Xuan, however, had guessed some of it.
"They want something."
"Um."
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
Fang Shiqing, realizing what was happening, asked in shock.
How did you know?
"You've been watching the live stream the whole time, so I don't know anything about it."
"Too."
