Deep in Xuancheng, Anhui — where the art of Chinese papermaking was born — masters are still handcrafting 清水红花宣纸 (clear water red flower Xuan paper). 📜🌸 It starts with bark from the qing tan tree, mixed with mountain spring water so pure it shines. 💧 Then, as the paper takes shape, red flower petals are scattered across the surface — floating like tiny blossoms frozen in time. 🌿💮 Every sheet is made entirely by hand — smooth, soft, and slightly fragrant — a piece of nature turned into art.
