Ancient papermaking techniques alive and well in Wenzhou

The 72-year-old craftsman Lin Linmei demonstrates an ancient papermaking technique in Zeya Town in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, on Monday, December 2, 2019. Originally settled some 700 years ago in the Ming Dynasty, this area once flourished with paper mills. Today, it's a scenic spot where villagers use ancient skills and the tools, like siliandui – water-powered mortars – to make paper that's mostly for ceremonial use. [Photo: China Plus/Huang Yue]
