Yinghuang (hard and yellow) paper is a kind of waxedcoated paper appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The paper is yellow, bright, translucent, resistant to moth and water, hard and could be preserved for a long time. In order to understand its manufacture process, various physical and chemical properties of the Yinghuang paper were quantatively analyzed including surface smoothness and ink penetration capability. By combining literature research and simulation experiment method, the paper was tried to be reconstructed. The lab-made Yinghuang paper''s properties were examined to further investigate the manufacture process. The result of this article is valuable for the making of Yinghuang paper and for the study of its properties.
