Xiling Yinshe Xuan Paper – Official Flagship Store

Produced by Hangzhou Xiling Cultural & Creative Co., Ltd., a brand under the prestigious Xiling Seal Art Society (西泠印社) — one of China's oldest and most respected institutions for seal carving, calligraphy, and traditional Chinese art.

This blank Xuan paper (宣纸) is purpose-made for Chinese calligraphy (书法), ink wash painting (国画), and gongbi fine-line painting (工笔画). Available in three absorbency types to suit every skill level and artistic purpose.

Paper Types

• Raw Xuan – Sheng Xuan (生宣): Highly absorbent; ideal for expressive ink wash and calligraphy practice. Ink spreads naturally for a fluid, spontaneous effect.
• Semi-Processed – Ban Sheng Shu (半生熟): Balanced absorbency between raw and sized; versatile for both practice and finished works.
• Sized Xuan – Shu Xuan (熟宣): Treated surface with minimal ink bleed; ideal for detailed gongbi painting and fine calligraphy artwork.

Available Sizes

• Four-Foot Third-Cut (四尺三开): 46 × 69 cm — compact format, great for practice and smaller compositions
• Four-Foot Half-Cut (四尺对开): 35 × 138 cm — long vertical format, ideal for couplets and hanging scroll works
