摘要:本课题基于方志史料，搜集了长江中下游地区纸质物产信息，系统梳理了长江中下游地区明至民国时期纸质物产的种类及其产地的时空分布信息，并对该地区纸质物产种类及其产地的分布特征和成因进行了初步探讨。结果表明，长江中下游地区纸质物产分布广泛，共搜集到产地信息237条，其中以湖南最为丰富。同时，长江中下游地区纸质物产种类丰富，包括皮纸、竹纸、草纸、棉纸和火纸等。清代和民国时期纸质物产种类则从传统的皮纸、草纸发展到竹纸再到多种原料混合造纸，质量也显著提高，是自然资源综合利用和工艺技术提高的共同结果。

Abstract:Based on local chronicles ， this paper collected information on the types of ancient paper and their production sites in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the Ming， Qing and Republic of China period. It preliminarily organized the types of ancient paper and their spatial-temporal distribution of production sites in this region， gradually exploring the types of ancient paper and their production sites. Research had shown that paper products were widely distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River， with a total of 237 origin information collected， with Hunan being the most abundant. At the same time， the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River had a rich variety of paper products， including bast paper， bamboo paper， grass paper， cotton paper， etc. During the Qing Dynasty and Republic of China period， the types of paper products developed from traditional paper such as bark paper and grass paper to bamboo paper and then mixed with various raw materials for papermaking. The quality also significantly improved， which was a common result of the comprehensive utilization of natural resources and the improvement of paper making technology.
