Abstract:Choosing the page paper and two kinds of flyleaf paper from Si Ku Quan Shu stored in the southern three pavilions as samples, this study conducted a comprehensive scientific analysis with various scientific testing methods. The experimental results showed that all the three types of paper samples were xuan paper made of wingceltis bark and rice straw fibers, and all of them contained calcium oxalate, quartz, and CaCO3, but there were certain differences in their appearances, fiber ratios, and chemical compositions. The page paper was a kind of thin Xuan paper with a delicate and pure white texture. Its thickness was approximately 34 μm, and fiber composition included up to 85% wingceltis bark. There was a small amount of CaCO3 in the paper, and the Ca content was the lowest among the three paper samples. The white flyleaf paper was a kind of thick Xuan paper with a pure white color and a smooth texture. Its thickness was approximately 52 μm, and the fiber contained up to 95% wingceltis bark. The Si content was the lowest among the three paper samples. In addition to CaCO3 left from pulping, the paper also contained some gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). The yellow flyleaf paper was a kind of dark and rough Xuan paper containing many fiber bundles. Its thickness was about 42 μm, and the fiber composition was 50% wingceltis bark and 50% rice straw. Both of the Si and Ca contents were the highest among the three paper samples. Besides, this paper contained a large amount of CaCO3. These results showed that Xuan paper was used as the page and flyleaf paper for some volumes of the Si Ku Quan Shu stored in the Southern Three Pavilions, which were consistent with relevant literature records (Mian Bai Bang Zhi, Jingxian Bai Mian Zhi, Jinxian Bang zhi). However, whether it was “Jian Bai Tai Shi Lian Zhi” remained to be further confirmed.
