吐峪沟石窟东区2015年出土古纸的基本性能研究

A Study on the Fundamental Properties of Ancient Papers Unearthed in Toyoq Grottoes in 2015

本文采用外观观察和纤维分析等方法,对2015年新疆鄯善县吐峪沟石窟东区考古出土的18个古纸样品的基本性能进行了分析检测工作。结果表明,17个古纸的原料为苎麻,1个为树皮。纸张多为浇纸法所造,加工方法有涂布、砑光等。将分析所得与新疆其他地区出土古纸及敦煌隋唐时期的古纸的研究结论进行比较,并根据其中3个样品涉及“大历”年份,推测这些古纸的抄造年代大致在唐晚期。

In this paper,the fundamental properties of 18 ancient paper samples unearthed in the east of Toyoq Grottoes in 2015 were tested using the methods of appearance observation and fiber analysis.The results showed that the raw materials of 17 ancient papers were ramie,and the remaining 1 was made of bark.Most of the papers are made by the paper pouring method,and the processing methods included coating and calendering.We also compared our findings with those of the ancient papers unearthed in other areas of Xinjiang Province and Sui-Tang papers found in Dunhuang,and according to three samples involv-ing the year of "Dali",it is speculated that these 18 ancient papers unearthed in the east of Toyoq Grottoes were made in the late Tang Dynasty.
