I. Morphological characteristics
Ebony Jin Sinan, because it has been in a special physical environment for a long time, is mostly black in color, and some are black outside and red inside (such as ancient Toona sinensis, which was buried underground for more than 3,000 years), or 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 gradual 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. Because ebony has different forming conditions and slightly different colors, some are black outside and yellow inside, some are black outside and green inside, and some are gradient colors, but in any case, their textures are very attractive and rare.
Golden nanmu, named after the golden thread in the wood grain, is the best of nanmu. Because there are few straight nodes in the tree, the texture is smooth and not easy to deform. Jin Sinan ebony has the wood characteristics of Phoebe bournei. Although it has experienced the carbonization process for thousands of years, it still retains a faint fragrance. This is one of the bases to identify whether ebony (dark wood) is ebony in Jin Sinan.
The appearance of Jin Sinan ebony is dark brown or yellowish brown, and the section is mostly yellowish brown or yellowish brown with green. The color will deepen when exposed to water, return to its original color after drying, and will not fade when immersed in water.
In addition to the unique soaking texture, Jin Sinan ebony also has a shiny golden texture.
Jin Sinan ebony is moist, delicate and smooth, which can be clearly felt by gently stroking the raw materials.
Second, wood formation.
Gold nanmu is already a rare treasure, which is hard to find in the current cultural and artistic collection market. And Jin Sinan buried in the river or buried underground for thousands of years to form a black wood Jin Sinan, which is even more difficult for the world to see. This black wood Jin Sinan is priceless.
Wood buried in the soil for a long time due to stratum changes is called "dark wood". There is a folk saying in China that "even if there is a box of jewels, it is not as good as ebony" and "two thousand gold is sent to the underworld for ebony to worship the spirits", which shows that ebony is already valuable. When the extremely rare Jin Sinan is buried deep in the riverbed and underground, after thousands of years of natural materialization, its attributes have gone beyond the category of trees and become a rare treasure that unifies the world.
Dark wood is very rare and precious. Wood products made of dark wood are often treasures of royal courts and dignitaries in past dynasties, and Jin Sinan, a dark wood, is even more difficult to find. If you have a chance to get a large piece of Jin Sinan and then carve it into Jin Sinan woodcarving crafts with wonderful craftsmanship, it will be a treasure handed down from generation to generation.
It is rare to see Jin Sinan in the market. Many times, even experienced collectors will regard Nanmu as Jin Sinan. Most of the real black wood Jin Sinan comes from Bashu, which has been buried underground for thousands of years and is amazing. It has a unique immersion texture and gold thread.
Third, the application value
Ebony Jin Sinan can also be made into furniture and decorations. Very popular in the market. The value of ebony in Jin Sinan is also higher than that of nanmu, which is not comparable to ordinary wood. The furniture made of it has unique charm and sense of history.
Compared with dark wood, ebony Jin Sinan is very rare. Its quantity is extremely rare, and the probability of becoming a depressed wood is even smaller, and it is still a non-renewable resource. Because it takes thousands of years to form a gloomy forest.
Therefore, Ebony Jin Sinan is of great ornamental value, with high scientific research value, cultural value and economic added value. Furniture and works of art made of the unique material of dark wood, the charm of ancient Austria and various artistic shapes are works of art with a high degree of integration of nature and humanity, which are of great ornamental and collection value. Among the types of dark wood, the dark wood in Jin Sinan is the most precious, which has been regarded as precious wood and rare thing since ancient times, and is a symbol of dignity and status.
