First, ward off evil spirits and pray. Ebony is a kind of spiritual wood with unique aura, which can remove unclean things and play a role in calming the nerves. Therefore, ebony products are often regarded as sacred objects to ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters and ensure peace.
Second, deodorization and anticorrosion. As we all know, carbon has adsorbability, which can adsorb faithful odor and water vapor in the air. Nowadays, people often use carbon to eliminate the odor in the refrigerator. Ebony has been carbonized for thousands of years, which naturally has strong adsorption, can absorb the odor and moisture in the air, and has the effects of anticorrosion, deodorization and air purification.
Third, decorative supplies. Ebony has been buried underground for a long time. After tens of thousands of years of high pressure and hypoxia, it has the characteristics of hard texture, delicate touch, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and never fades. It can be used to make various handicrafts such as jewelry, furniture, sculpture, etc. It can be used for keeping fresh, deodorizing and refreshing the air, and can also be used for appreciation and collection.
-Fourth, medicinal value. Li Shizhen recorded the medicinal value of ebony in Compendium of Materia Medica: "ebony tastes sweet, salty, flat and detoxifies, and also treats cholera and vomits dysentery. Take the crumbs and grind them into powder, and take them with warm wine." Ebony will give off a delicate fragrance, which can make people feel refreshed and happy if you smell it often.

Question 2: What is ebony? What is the value of ebony? How to identify ebony ebony (dark wood) has both the elegance of wood and the charm of stone, and is known as "Oriental Shenmu" and "plant mummy". Earthquakes, floods and mudslides bury all plants and creatures on the ground in low-lying places such as ancient riverbeds.

Ebony value: Guangdong Tieli ebony (dark wood) has many cracks, generally only small handicrafts are made, and few large pieces of furniture are circulated; Its value is determined by the following factors: wood, tree species, thickness, carbonization degree, external pricing, whether it is sun-dried (stable after drying), color (common in black, rare in Jin Sinan), crack size, available value, etc. This should be considered from all aspects. (Generally, it costs 20,000 ~ 80,000 yuan/ton, but there is no specific standard for processing it into works of art ... Ebony bracelets are quoted on Taobao 180 yuan/piece). Another Compendium of Materia Medica records: heavy wood, smell: sweet, salty, flat and non-toxic. Indications: It can detoxify cholera and vomit. Grind sawdust into powder and take it with warm wine; It also has the effect of expelling wind and removing dampness. One reason why ebony was particularly precious in ancient times was that there were few large-scale infrastructure projects in ancient times, abundant rivers (not as dry as now), and lack of large-scale excavation and hoisting equipment, dredging ships and so on. Therefore, there are fewer black trees that can be found and shipped back, which is the first precious; Secondly, the characteristics of dark wood formation doomed that it was difficult to find a large area of wood in the past, and the environment such as temperature and humidity changed greatly without the formation environment, and it was easy to crack due to improper storage, which affected the utilization rate, so it was also very precious; Finally, what is more precious in traditional culture is that it has been buried underground for thousands of years without decay, and it is spiritual, which can ward off evil spirits and accept blessings. General furniture production also needs a good piece of aniseed, so furniture made of dark wood is particularly precious in terms of material consumption demand, maintenance and traditional culture. (not to mention, someone has specially fired it. ) Because ebony is a non-renewable resource, the development amount is less and less, and some natural ebony artworks have certain collection value.
How to identify ebony;
Ebony has been in a special physical environment for a long time, and its color is mostly black and red (such as ancient Toona sinensis, which was buried underground for more than 3,000 years), or black and yellow (such as ancient Nanmu, which has been buried underground for more than 4,000 years), black and green (such as Nanmu), and there are also gradient colors; 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 age and value of ebony can only be determined by experts' experience and scientific means such as carbon 14 isotope detection.
