(231209) -- JINGXIAN, Dec. 9, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A worker is seen at the workshop of China Xuan Paper Co., Ltd. in Jingxian County, east China's Anhui Province, Dec. 7, 2023. Xuan paper, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), has a history of over 1,000 years. Originated in Jingxian County (administered by "Xuanzhou" in Tang Dynasty) of east China's Anhui Province, the paper got its name after being sent as a tribute to the emperor. Using straws of tidal lands and peels of wingceltis near Jingxian County as the materials, the paper is produced in traditional ways to serve high-standard artistic creations such as calligraphy, painting, etc. Boasting of its anti-aging, anti-discoloring and anti-decaying quality, the Xuan paper usually has a long life span. The making of Xuan paper includes over 100 procedures and usually costs three years. The craft of making Xuan paper was listed as one of the national-level intangible cultural heritages in 2006 and a world intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 200
