Ebony, also known as "ancient sunken wood", is unique to Sichuan and has been called "the spirit of all trees" and "the respect of all trees" since ancient times. Ebony, also known as "carbonized wood" due to natural reasons such as floods and crustal changes, was gradually carbonized after thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the specific physical and chemical effects. Because ebony has been in a special physical environment for a long time, its color is mostly black all over, but also black inside and red outside (such as ancient Toona sinensis, which was buried underground for more than 3,000 years), black outside and yellow inside (such as ancient Phoebe bournei, buried underground for more than 4,000 years), black outside and green inside (such as Phoebe bournei), and there are also color gradients; Most of the original ancient trees of ebony are Toona sinensis, Phoebe bournei, Cymbidium, Liu Ma, Cinnamomum camphora and Sorbus pohuashanensis. Not all ancient trees can be turned into ebony, and not all ebony is black, or black is ebony. For example, ebony produced in India and Myanmar and persimmon trees, diesel ebony and chicken wings in China are all black modern wood. The real ebony was formed in a specific anoxic environment. Because wood itself contains natural preservatives such as eucalyptus oil, it can be buried deep for thousands of years without rotting. The formation age and value of ebony, also known as dark wood, is unique to Sichuan and has been called "the spirit of all trees" and "the respect of all trees" since ancient times.

For example, black wood produced in India and Myanmar and persimmon trees, diesel sandalwood and chicken wing wood made in China are all black modern wood. The real ebony was formed in a specific anoxic environment. Because wood itself contains natural preservatives such as eucalyptus oil, it can be buried deep for thousands of years without rotting. The age and value of ebony can be determined not only by experts' experience, but also by scientific means such as carbon 14 isotope detection.
According to "A Brief Introduction to Bo Gu", there are three kinds of Phoebe bournei: Phoebe bournei, Phoebe bournei, Jin Sinan and Jin Sinan. There are gold wires in the wood grain, which is the best kind of nanmu and a very precious high-quality material. In ancient feudal emperors, the throne of the dragon chair was made of high-quality nanmu. Because the tree has few straight nodes, smooth texture and is not easy to deform, it will not rot for thousands of years, and it is the first of the hundred trees in its former residence. The side of ancient nanmu (ancient sunken wood) was deeply buried under river beds and mountain streams due to natural reasons such as crustal changes in ancient times, and gradually carbonized under the specific physical and chemical effects for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Because wood itself contains natural preservatives such as eucalyptus oil, it can be buried for thousands of years without rotting.

Therefore, ebony is also called "carbonized wood". Ebony is mostly black, but also black outside and red inside (such as ancient Toona sinensis), or black outside and yellow inside (such as ancient Phoebe bournei) and green outside (such as Phoebe bournei); Because wood itself contains natural preservatives such as eucalyptus oil, it can be buried deep for thousands of years without rotting.
Because ebony material has been formed for a long time, it is non-renewable, and because of its natural and fantastic appearance, it is practical and can be handed down from generation to generation. Moreover, ebony has good characteristics such as non-rot, non-rot, and non-moth-eaten, and now it has become the first choice for people to collect and give gifts to relatives and friends.

It is also because of the different types of ebony that ebony products will be light and heavy. For example, nanmu is heavier and Toona sinensis is lighter. In addition, when processing ebony products, manufacturers will consider different regions and product properties and dehydrate some ebony materials, so the ebony products will be light and heavy.
According to "A Brief Introduction to Bo Gu", there are three kinds of nanmu: one is Phoebe bournei, with purplish wood, fragrance and beautiful texture; Second, Jin Sinan with gold thread in the wood grain is the best nanmu. What is even more rare is that some nanmu materials form natural landscape figures; Third, nanmu wood is soft and often used to make furniture. The throne of the ancient feudal emperor's dragon chair should be made of high-quality nanmu, and it is also a special material for building royal palaces, tombs and gardens in ancient times. This kind of tree has been rare since the Qing Dynasty. Throughout the ages, whether emperors, ministers, or royalty; Whether it is the public, manufacturers, scholars, classical experts; Everyone praised Nanmu as a precious wood made in China. Throughout the world, Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Switzerland and other countries have designated nanmu when building Chinese garden buildings with foreign aid, probably because its trunk is thick and straight and its taper is small, so it is considered suitable for use. As Yang Jiaju said, the golden nanmu is a treasure that China people are proud of, which also makes the quadrangle architecture have a stronger Chinese flavor. Jin Sinan is a very precious high-quality material, and its growth law makes it a late bloomer (the golden stage of vigorous growth takes 60 years). Because wood has a strong luster (especially when it is planed, it has obvious bright spots, and some people call it Jin Sinan), it will get brighter and brighter even if it is not painted. The bark is thin and has dark punctate lenticels; There is a black annular layer where the endothelium meets the wood. Because the earlier nanmu is mostly big material, and the tree has few straight joints, smooth texture and is not easy to deform, and it does not rot for thousands of years, ranking first among white trees other than hardwoods, and its wood value is also above some hardwoods.
In the Qing Palace, not only the beams and columns of important palaces are made of nanmu, but also the furniture is often made of mahogany or Huang Huali wood with nanmu. Usually nanmu is used for the core board of the desktop, and hardwood is used for trimming and other borders. Now, the rare and endangered Phoebe bournei is rare in China. The Forbidden City is the largest and most well-preserved ancient building in China. There is only a small amount of nanmu furniture in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Leng 'en Temple in the Ming Tombs is the largest Nanmu Temple in existence. The 60 giant pillars in the temple are all made of a whole golden nanmu, and the diameter is so thick that it takes two people to fold them. Besides, Lianbo Jingcheng Temple in chengde mountain resort is also the first Nanmu Palace at present. There are also arhat beds, ladder beds and carved flying covers, plaques, couplets and nanmu couplets in the folk collection.
