I know nothing about Chinese brush painting. Why is it called that, is it painted on silk?

These days it is painted on what is know as Rice paper 'Xuan'.which is slightly thicker than tissue paper and very fragile
It has to be backed with the same paper before framing. which involves brushing the back of the painting with wall paper or flour paste to stretch it. adding the backing paper and leave for 24 hours
Then it is quite strong
You can still use Silk which is very expensive. Nice for small Greetings Cards
