This invention provides a sizing agent (A) to be used in neutral range in papermaking, the sizing agent being characterized in that it is an aqueous dispersion of a reaction product prepared by reacting, in a specific proportion, (i) a rosin compound and (ii) at least one polyhydric alcohol selected from among a trihydric alcohol and a tetrahydric alcohol both consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and a sizing method using the sizing agent (A) in neutral range at a pH of about 6 to about 9 in papermaking. And this invention further provides a sizing agent (B) to be used in neutral range in papermaking, the sizing agent being characterized in that it is an aqueous dispersion of a reaction product prepared by reacting, in a specific proportion, (i) a rosin compound, (ii) at least one polyhydric alcohol selected from among a trihydric alcohol and a tetrahydric alcohol both consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and (iii) a alpha , beta -unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative, and a sizing method using the sizing agent (B) in neutral range at a pH of about 6 to about 9 in papermaking.
