In Xigaoshan village of Longnan city, northwest China's Gansu province, 13 families still pass down the thousand-year-old craftsmanship of making hemp paper. It takes 72 procedures to make paper from paper mulberry. In recent years, hemp paper has regained its popularity among Chinese painting and calligraphy enthusiasts due to its pliable, wear resistant and elastic qualities, which make the paper highly applicable for mounting.
