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. Some trees buried in mud have been carbonized for thousands of years under the conditions of hypoxia and high pressure under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, forming ebony, so it is also called "carbonized wood". Ebony has been used for generations to ward off evil spirits and make handicrafts, Buddha statues and amulet pendants. Generally, only small handicrafts are made, and there are few large pieces of furniture in circulation. )
