Silianzhou Paper Workshop is located in Nandou, Shi Qiaocun, Zeya Town, ouhai district City, Zhejiang Province, China, covering an area of about 0.28 square kilometers. It is an ancient papermaking technology in China [/[ur/Ming] At the end of Yuan Dynasty, people moved to Zeya to escape the war. Because Zeya has plenty of bamboo and lush water, he returned to his old job and made "Nanping Paper". People pound bamboo into paper wool and pulp with water hammer to make silk screen paper. There are thousands of people engaged in papermaking in Zeya area, so there are water drains and paper mills everywhere. Place names such as Shuiduikeng and Shuiliankeng are also related to papermaking, and Zeya is also called "Paper Mountain". In 1990s, Japanese farming folk custom investigation group, China Printing Museum and other groups visited this place many times. They agree that Zeya Paper Mountain is a "living fossil" of ancient papermaking in China, among which Silianzhai is particularly important.

There are many bamboo forests in Zeya Mountain area, where the ancestors of Yuan and Ming Dynasties built canals, wheels and paper workshops along the river, which were integrated with the landscape. In its heyday, thousands of people were engaged in papermaking, and there were water rafts and paper workshops everywhere, so Zeya was also called "paper mountain" in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Silianzhou Paper Workshop was built in the early Ming Dynasty. The canal is about 230 meters long, and the downstream is divided into four levels, which can reuse hydraulic resources, hence the name "Silianzhou". 200 1, Silianzhou Paper Workshop was listed as a national key document by the State Council, China.
