Common name and its essence
The sultan wood, because it is generally black, so the image of Sichuan is generally called "ebony", and later it has been turned into a common name for [gloomy wood] [it and the "ebony" in the Chinese redwood standard is completely Different concepts, as explained later, are two thousand years to 10,000 years ago. Natural variability of ancient celestial bodies occurred in ancient Sichuan. Earthquakes, floods, and mudslides buried all the above-ground plant organisms into low-lying areas such as ancient riverbeds. Some of the trees buried in the mud are formed under the action of microorganisms such as bacteria under anoxic and high-pressure conditions, bacteria and other microorganisms, and are also called "carbonized wood" after thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years of carbonization.
Ebony (gloomy wood) is severely carbonized and broken at first sight:
"Because of the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon is the spirit of Wanmu, the respect of the spirit wood"". In the Sichuan Basin of China, the magical Sanxingdui ebony is the precious heritage of Sichuan people, just like the world-famous Sanxingdui artifacts. An important part of the ancient Shu civilization, the name of the living fossil. The ebony (gloomy wood) has experienced many vicissitudes of life, suffering from a variety of natural external solid and internal solid forces, making its natural shape strange, simple, elegant, and ceremonial, no wonder After the foreigners visited, they were all amazed as "Oriental Shenmu."
The ancient river bed near Sanxingdui is one of the most concentrated production areas of ebony. It is determined by the carbon 14 of the China University of Geosciences Inspection Center, and its ebony (gloomy wood) age is 3200 soil for 50 years.
2, the distribution of ebony:
The early excavated ebony (gloomy wood) is mainly distributed in the Sihe River and its tributary areas in Sichuan. [Because of the construction and drought of various large-scale projects, many large-scale sag trees have been discovered and discovered in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, etc. There are a lot of excavations found, and the scale is large, the tree body is huge, and the non-mechanical lifting can't move - the different way. A number of ebony enthusiasts sampled carbon for fourteen isotope measurements, and most ebony ages ranged from 2,000 to 40,000 years ago.
With the development of large-scale infrastructure projects and the emergence of various large-scale hoisting and excavation equipment, in recent years, overcast wood has been discovered on a large scale in Guangxi and Guangxi (Guangxi, Guangdong), and most of them are mostly iron wood and sag, and the quality is excellent; It will surely fall to a level of rationality as the amount of excavation increases and the knowledge of ebony (gloomy wood) spreads.
3. Tree species forming ebony:
There are many kinds of trees forming ebony (gloomy wood), including: willow tree, Cyclobalanopsis, Camphor tree, Phoebe chinensis (Phoebe nannan, P. chinensis), red cedar, yew, mulberry, willow, cork, eucalyptus, sandalwood Wood, etc. [The sinister woods found so far are commonly found in five types: blue bars, hemp, citron, red peony, and nanmu.] Generally, tree species with scent and bactericidal characteristics can be formed (but not all formed sapwoods have scent, which depends on the type of tree species to determine whether there is aroma; generally nanmu yin wood has aroma).
The ebony is hard (the hardest of the sinister wood, the softer and the sinister wood is softer; whether it forms a gloomy wood and returns to the sun [natural dryness] can sink under the water, depending on the species of the tree, there is a floating and floating Yes—especially small pieces of finished products generally float on the surface of the water. They are mostly brownish black, blackish red, goldish, and tan. The cut surface is smooth, the wood grain is fine, and the polished surface can reach the mirror surface brightness, and some ebony essences are similar to the red sandalwood. It never fades, does not decay, does not worm, is the ideal material for making art and antique furniture. The sultan wood is rather peculiar. Generally, the wood (water sapwood is also a special case) burns white ash, while the sultan wood burns yellow ash. The color of the water is deepened, and the original color is restored after the water is dried; the small vegetable oil is black and bright, and does not fade. When most of the gloomy trees are unearthed, the heart of the tree has decayed, leaving only the middle of the tree head and the trunk; the surface that has been severely carbonized cannot be used as a general material, and it is generally necessary to plan the outer layer and leave the wooden heart.
The color of the sultan wood is mostly black and black, and there is also black outside red (such as ancient red eucalyptus, which can be formed in the underground for more than 3,000 years), or black outside yellow (such as ancient gold nanmu, buried underground for four thousand years). Above, only this color), black outside green (such as æ¡¢å—), color gradient; its original ancient trees are only red 椿, nanmu, blue bar, hemp, citron, flower buds and other varieties, not all The ancient wood can be ebony, not ebony is black, or black is ebony, such as India, Myanmar, black wood and Chinese persimmon wood, diesel sandalwood, chicken wing wood, is black modern wood [ It is a category of tree species, and modern "ebony" refers to a standard in the national mahogany.
4, the value of ebony:
There are many cracks in the overcast wood. Generally, only small crafts are used, and there are few large pieces of furniture. The value is determined by the following factors: price of wood, pricing of trees, positioning by thickness, pricing by carbonization, and appearance. Pricing, whether to return to the sun (stable drying), color pricing (black common, rare gold), pricing with crack size, pricing with available value, etc., should be considered in all aspects. (Generally 2,000 ~ 80,000 yuan / ton, there is no specific standard for processing into works of art. Ebony bracelet Taobao online offer 180 yuan / one also). Another "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: Yin wood, smell: sweet, salty, flat, non-toxic. Indications: Detoxification, also treat cholera and spit. Take the wood chips for the end, warm wine to rush; also have the effect of hurricane dehumidification.
One of the reasons why ancient Yinmu wood is extraordinarily precious is that there are few large-scale infrastructures in ancient times, and the rivers are abundant in water (unlike so much drought now), and there is a lack of large-scale excavation and hoisting equipment, dredging boats, etc. It is the first precious with the returned dark wood. Secondly, the characteristics of the formation of the dark wood are also destined to be difficult to find large-scale materials in the past, and when it leaves the formed environment, the temperature and humidity are relatively large. Poor storage is also prone to cracking and other conditions, affecting the utilization rate, so it is also precious; in the end, traditional culture believes that it is buried under the ground for thousands of years without rot, that it has spirituality, can ward off evil, and so on. Precious.
Furniture production generally also needs a relatively good bulk material, so no matter from the demand for materials, maintenance, traditional culture, etc., the furniture made of gloomy wood is particularly precious.
