Cultural paper comprises base material body paper and a latex composition applied to at least one surface of the base material body paper, wherein the pulp for manufacturing the base material body paper contains bleached chemical pulp and high yield pulp, wherein the mass percentage content of the high yield pulp in the pulp is 20-75%, and the rest is the bleached chemical pulp; the latex composition contains an epoxy-group functional polymer, an epoxy-group reactive polymer and appropriate quantity of water, wherein the weight of the epoxy-group functional polymer is 5-100% of that of the epoxy-group reactive polymer. The base material body paper of the cultural paper provided by the invention adopts the high yield pulp so that the production cost of the cultural paper is reduced; and the special latex composition is applied to the surface of the base material body paper so that the cultural paper is guaranteed to be high in dry strength, wet strength, wet tenacity and wet-dry ratio.
