Chinese painting paper has no rice ingredient, thus "rice paper" is a misnomer which is never used in China. Xuan paper is very thin and fragile, paintings or calligraphy done on it need to be supported or mounted with thicker paper...Chinese calligraphy and painting paper that is originally from Xuan County is called Xuan paper or Shuan paper. Chinese calligraphy and painting on Shuan paper can be mounted in many styles and forms.
