in order to be promoted to the department, zong hao (played by park chong-hoon), a civil servant in the city hall, worked in the "korean paper department". later, he was gradually attracted by the charm of korean paper and devoted his efforts to be "a thousand-year-old good paper". in the process, documentary producer ji-won (played by kang shou-young) helped. three years ago, xiaoqing, the wife of zong hao, a seventh-level civil servant, unfortunately suffered from cerebral infarction due to her relationship and was unable to move ever since. in order to be promoted to a fifth-level civil servant before retirement, zong hao transferred to the "korean paper department" and was gradually attracted by his ancient charm and devoted his efforts to be "a thousand-year-old good paper". ji-won, the director who has been focusing on making documentaries about hanzhi, accidentally met zong hao and clashed due to misunderstandings. however, they all went to the process of restoring the japanese turmoil in renchen by using traditional paper technology (1592japan's invasion of korean war )the only "jounju historical library" that was burnt during the period was preserved (that is, local chronicles )work. during the frequent contact, subtle changes occurred between zong hao and ji-won, and his wife hyo-kyung also watched all this coldly. the relationship between the three is becoming more complicated... ------------------- korean paper, also known as korean paper, is white in color and thick in texture, is cottony and tough, and has obvious straight lines. this paper was introduced to china in the song dynasty. northern song dynasty documents record: "goryeo paper is made of cotton and cocoons. it is as white as silk and as tough as silk. it is used to write and has cute ink. this is not available in china, and it is also a rare product." therefore, it is deeply understood that it is very good." the preference of chinese literati and poets. during the qianlong period of the qing dynasty, china had imitation korean paper, but it was still not as good as genuine. korean paper production technology is quite complex, using mulberry bark as raw material, divided into more than 20 processes (peeling mulberry bark-grease-drying-primary selection-soaking-steaming-sculpting-select-marinating-washing-tread-kneading-staining-selecting-marinating-washing-spinning-selecting-marinating-washing-spinning-spinning-s choose - pounding - flattening - tracing - putting into the bottom trough - wet trough - paper making - wet pressing - paper pulling - cool drying - edge collection - finishing, etc.), which took about 3 months. no wonder lin quanze said at the production press conference: "it is quite difficult to record this huge project well and completely. at the beginning, i wanted to express the life, history and culture of koreans through this film, and then gain recognition from foreign audiences. it prompted domestic audiences to cherish our ancient and splendid civilization again. however, after entering the world of korean paper, i found that its breadth and depth were unimaginable, so i felt that the preparations i had made before were not sufficient, and fortunately, the entire crew members tried their best. i hope this film will become my second-round directorial debut. taking this opportunity, i want to be reborn as another 'lin quanze'. bbb
