Research on the Ancient Papermaking Technology of the Gelao in Wuchuan County

Abstract

Through field research on the papermaking culture of the Gelao people in Xinchang Village, Wuchuan County, it is found that there are still many ancient crafts in it. As China’s precious intangible cultural heritage, the protection of this technology is imminent. Thanks to China’s national intangible cultural heritage policy, Wuchuan ancient papermaking has been industrialized to ensure the inheritance of this craft. This will promote the common development of the local economy and culture, which becomes an important guarantee for the continuous development of Wuchuan ancient papermaking.
