Also known as "scooping paper" (Laozhi), sheet forming is the most delicate and demanding step in the craft. Once boiled and beaten, the pulp is poured into a vat. The artisan dips a bamboo screen mould into the slurry and gently sways it back and forth, allowing an even layer of fibers to settle on the screen as the water drains away, forming a wet sheet of paper.\nDipping and rocking the mould requires immense skill: a deeper dip yields thicker paper, while a lighter dip creates a sheer sheet. Achieving perfect consistency relies entirely on muscle memory and keen judgment honed over years of practice.
