Abstract
Traditional Chinese paper is still used in painting and calligraphy today, and it is also an important material for restoration of ancient works. Although it is said that xuan paper, one of the best Chinese papers, can last over 1000 years, research on the permanence of Chinese paper is not yet sufficient. In recent years, cheap materials, such as Chinese alpine rush (longxu cao) and woodpulp, have often been used, and the use of stronger chemicals for processing and of bleaching chemicals is also common. Changes in the materials and papermaking processes may harm the permanence of paper. In this research, seven kinds of traditional Chinese paper for painting and calligraphy were selected as samples to investigate their strength and durability after accelerated ageing (80°C, 65% RH).
