Selections of Xuan paper for Chinese calligraphy and painting depend on many factors. Xuan paper has smooth and rough sides and they can be used for different purposes and effects...

得 get [de2]
German:
長 lang
臣 offiziell
任 ernennen
得 bekommen
Thank you for the insight! I did not knew that one side of the paper is more rough than the other.
what do the numbers behind the chinese sound mean? [chang2] is that this line above the character?

I don't have a farovite brand for a particular style - they depend. They say the best brand Xuan paper is Red Star. It's really excellent.
