井上陈政与《清国制纸法》

Jing Shang Chen Zheng and Paper-making Method of Qing Dynasty

井上陈政在1885年受日本大藏省印刷局派遣,对我国东南地区的传统造纸技术进行了较为系统的调查,其报告书《清国制纸法》长期以来被束之高阁,少为人知。本文在介绍井上陈政的生平与造纸术考察的行程的同时,结合近年来实地考察的结果,重点评述了《清国制纸法》的学术价值。井上对我国近代具有代表性的宣纸和连史纸作了重点调查,较为完整地记录了上述手工纸在清末时期的制作工艺,与民国及现代的工艺相对照,二者有明显不同之处。对井上调查报告的研究,有助于了解传统造纸技术的变迁,对于恢复传统宣纸和连史纸制作工艺、保护这一重要的非物质文化遗产具有重要参考价值。
