At the weekend, the teacher assigned a special assignment to us to participate in activities about Chine traditional culture. Our group decided to go to Ou Shuo workshop to experience how the ancients made paper.
When we arrived at Ou Shuo workshop, a teacher in his forties came to us. He was wearing camouflage clothes and a moustache. He looked very literate. Mr. moustache asked us to surround a stone trough. The stone trough is divided into four compartments. Each compartment is filled with water of different colors. There are various kinds of pulp, mashed camphor bark, cotton of different colors, and a mixture of two materials.
Mr. moustache began to introduce the history of paper. He said, "paper is one of the four great inventions in ancient China. Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty invented papermaking. Papermaking, together with the compass, gunpowder and printing, is called the four great inventions of ancient Chine science and technology. It is the remarkable contribution of the Chine people to the development of science and culture
in the world." About how to make paper, Mr. moustache gave us a demonstration one by one to let us understand the process of making paper.
When the teacher finishes the demonstration, it's our turn to start. I couldn't wait to get to the edge of the stone trough and began to make paper after learning what the teacher had just done. I first soaked the filter screen in the water, then picked it up from bottom to top, and repeated it for veral times. In this way, the pulp is evenly spread on the filter screen. Then cover the pulp with two pieces of soft cotton cloth, put it into a machine that flattens the pulp, and then turn the handle of the machine hard until it can't be turned. The pulp discharges excess water and is flattened. Finally, I put the presd pulp carefully on the dryer to dry the water. After about ten minutes, my newly made paper came out. I held it excitedly. Although it looked a little thin and rough, it was the first piece of paper I made by mylf! It is said that in ancient times, there was no paper drying machine. It was usually dried by the sun. It took a long time. Modern technology has really provided us with great convenience.
Mr. moustache also told us that the main material for papermaking comes from trees. For every ton of paper, 17 adult trees need to be cut down. It ems that we should cherish every piece of paper, protect nature and protect our home.
周末，老师布置了一个特殊作业，要我们去参加关于中华传统文化的活动，我们小组决定去瓯说工坊，体验古人是如何造纸的。
到了瓯说工坊，一位四十多岁左右的老师，走到了我们面前，他身穿迷彩服，留着小胡子，看上去蛮有文化的样子。小胡子老师让我们围到一个石槽边，石槽分四格，每一格都装满了不同颜色的水，里面有各种纸浆，有捣碎的香樟树皮，有色彩不一的棉花，还有的是两种材料的混合体。
小胡子老师开始介绍纸的历史，他说：“纸，是我国古代四大发明之一，发明造纸术的是东汉的蔡伦。造纸术和指南针、火药、印刷术并称为中国古代科学技术的四大发明，是中国人民对世界科学文化发展所作出的卓越贡献……。”关于如何造纸，小胡子老师给我们做了一一示范，让我们了解了造纸的过程。
等老师做完示范，就轮到我们上手了。我迫不及待地到了石槽边，学着小胡子老师刚才的动作开始造纸。我先把过滤网在水中泡了泡，再把过滤网由下往上捞起，重复捞几次，这样，纸浆就均匀地平铺在滤网上。接着用两张柔软的棉布把纸浆盖住，放到一台压平纸浆的机器里，然后用力转动机器把手，直到转不动为止，纸浆排出了多余的水分，也被压得平平整整的。最后，我把压好的'纸浆小心翼翼地放在烘干器上，把水分烘干。大约过了十分钟，我新造的纸就出炉了。我十分激动地捧着它，尽管它看上去有点薄，有点粗糙，但它可是我亲手制造的第一张纸哦！据说，古时没有烘干纸的机器，通常都是靠太阳晒干的，需要好长好长时间，现代技术真是为我们提供了极大的便利。
小胡子老师还告诉我们，造纸最主要的材料来自大树，每制造一吨纸就需要砍伐17棵的成年大树。看来我们要好好珍惜每一张纸，保护大自然，保护我们的家园。
