I'm almost speechless. So amazing. I hope to buy some of this paper. Talk about a legacy! You guys never disappoint. Quality production happening on this channel. Thank you.
I really really love these unique stories about the traditional hand made practices still preserved today. These are such valuable small pieces of important cultural knowledge which i dearly hope will hold on for many more hundreds of years to come. This type of paper is so unique iconic to Chinese culture as it carried so much knowledge and art over many many years, i feel like it has a life of its own. Your content definitely deserves more views! so all the best for the future :D
Always great to see people following the old ways of making things, sometimes I can imagine how they did it during the old times. Great respect to them
He never said WHY his industry was shrinking all the time??? Is it shrinking because people write less or is it shrinking because machines can do the same more cheap and with less people??
Actually good thing is, much of the population now are richer and I had seen they bought a lot of paintings that used paper like it shown in the video. Demand is there.
Everything was great until we cut to a scene of a worker smoking a cigarette. Seriously... making paper and smoking while doing it. Paper in its raw state absorbs everything around it, from the pungent burnt ash smell of cigarettes to even the tar from an exhaled breath. Up until that point I would have considered purchasing it. They may go on about family pride and legacy, but where's the quality if they let people smoke in it's vacinity. It's as asinine as if they made the paper beside an open toilet or pig pen...

This should be protected as "intangible cultural heritage 非物質文化" by the Chinese government.
It is the first batch of the culture heritage since 2006.
It'd be a travesty if it were not, seeing it is one of the 4 great inventions.

Haven't even watched past the opening scene yet, but I gotta say, the sound of cutting that paper is ridiculously pleasing to the ears.
3:21 a guy handling large sheets of thin paper while smoking... this is why I love China
As a paper-making expert, no surprise there that he's got exceptional calligraphy skills too
U r such beautiful people!

裁切紙的時候超級治癒…！
This video is sooo underrated!

$10 for 100 pieces? How big are the pieces? After watching this, that seems way too cheap.
Beautiful paper !
搞半天，还是没有人家小日本会包装啊，这种手工的日本绝对敢卖很贵，就那个刷纸的刷子，就能做很多名堂出来

its sad to see how many traditional things we are losing, cuz nobody wants to do it anymore
Simple... money and demand.
At least the government can documented or preserve the technique in museum, maybe it will be used again.
Actually good thing is, much of the population now are richer and I had seen they bought a lot of paintings that used paper like it shown in the video.
Demand is there.
Korean paper army is coming...
What it's have to do with korean?! I mean paper is chinese invention.. 🧐
@@xmb6793 Some korean nationalists or those pretending to be them basically claim everything as theirs. Really niche group though.

Stop cutting trees, and using outdated methods
