A: According to the 1979 edition of Cihai, "Wood buried in the soil for a long time due to stratum changes is called' black wood', also called' black wood sand'. Generally speaking, it is mostly Chinese fir, which is hard and durable. In the past, it was considered as a precious wood for making coffins. " It's cloudy in the north of the mountain and the south of the water. Generally, people born in Shanbei or autumn and winter are called shady trees. Shaded wood is obviously different from dark wood. Yin wood is born on the ground, and dark wood is buried underground. polite
Shaded wood is not only a kind of Chinese fir, but also the name of many wood that has been buried underground for a long time and can be used as utensils. These Woods are characterized by moisture-proof, insect-proof, anti-corrosion, fragrance and heavy oil. There are many kinds, such as cypress, Chinese fir, nanmu, zhoumu, wild litchi, bitter catalpa, green Phoebe, iron pear and so on. Dark wood has different names in all parts of the country. It is called "Langmu" and "Shuijiangmu" in the Songhua River Basin in Northeast China, and "Ebony" in Sichuan (the main hidden wood is generally dark in color). There is also an ebony art museum in Chengdu, Sichuan. Sichuan does not produce ebony, but it is produced in Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia. The so-called "ebony" in Sichuan is actually a kind of gloomy wood, which is very different in concept and essence and cannot be confused.
In addition to the classification by tree species, the reasons for the formation of hidden trees are: 1. Submerged in river sediment, trees are generally washed into rivers by geological disasters such as mudslides and soil erosion in the upper reaches and buried in river beds; 2. Burying of trees caused by earthquake; 3. Coffins buried underground for several years. Due to the above reasons, the color of dark wood is generally dark and the color difference is obvious. Due to long-term deep burial and rich water content, wood is easy to crack, deform and warp during processing, but after drying, the processed surface is very moist and bright, with excellent hand feeling. Historically, dark wood was generally used to make coffins or small utensils, and rarely used to make furniture. Excessive Yin Qi is still a taboo today. Due to the characteristics of cryptowood, some manufacturers have carried out chemical dyeing treatment on cryptowood to make it reach the ideal color and lose its own characteristics, which has obvious pollution to people and the environment. There are many kinds of hidden wood, with mixed good and bad, mottled colors and few successes. There are many people who use it to make sculptures and root carving crafts, and there are many people who use patchwork and bonding to make imitation old furniture, but they are not as good as rosewood.
Question 2: What's the use of black wood? What is ebony? At present, there are two kinds of ebony on the market: one is botanical ebony tree species. Among the 33 tree species belonging to 5 genera and 8 categories in the national standard of mahogany, they are classified as ebony of Persimmon family. The other refers to gloomy wood. Earthquakes, floods and mudslides bury all plants and creatures on the ground in low-lying places such as ancient riverbeds. Some trees buried in the soil have been carbonized for thousands of years under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms under the conditions of hypoxia and high pressure, so they are also called "carbonized wood", "Oriental Shenmu" and "plant mummy". The ebony we are talking about today mainly refers to dark wood. The value and use of ebony 1. Medicinal value. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty recorded that ebony was detoxified and was mainly used for cholera, dysentery, rheumatism, colds and other diseases. There is a folk saying that "a house with half ebony is better than a box of treasures". Therefore, ebony is used as medicine, and its medicinal value is extremely high. Ebony picture/ebony picture II. Artistic value. Ebony is hard, mostly brown-black, black-red, gold and yellow-brown. Its section is smooth, the wood grain is fine, and the mirror brightness can be achieved when properly polished. Moreover, because it never fades, decays and worms, it is an excellent material for making handmade works of art. Such as making chopsticks, knife handles, tobacco bags, car pendants, jade seats, wood carvings, musical instruments, boxes and so on. Ebony picture/Ebony car pendant III. Make furniture. Ebony is the best material for making high-grade furniture. Ebony furniture is black and shiny, simple and profound, with excellent wood, which is not easy to get insects and mildew. Ebony handed down furniture is mostly small furniture such as kang tables. Ebony, as a valuable wood for furniture, is usually used as the panel of a table or the frame around the table. Compared with other different colors of wood, ebony is interesting in red and black, which is very novel and unique. Ebony painting/ebony furniture. The scientific research value of ebony. Ebony, as a natural product, has certain scientific research value for studying the geography, climate and environment in the local historical period and identifying the local plant species. For example, the ancient riverbed near Sanxingdui in Sichuan is one of the most concentrated producing areas of ebony. According to the charcoal 14 of the inspection center of China Geo University, the age of ebony in this area is about 3,200 years. Therefore, archaeologists restored the living environment at that time through the detection of the ebony in Sanxingdui, and further deciphered the ancient mystery of a large number of ivory unearthed in Sanxingdui.

Question 3: What is the function of dark wood? Ebony is the "black wood" as the saying goes. It is not a kind of wood, but a general term for many kinds of wood. The formation of ebony has a long history, which is due to the fact that plants such as camphor tree, locust tree, willow tree and nanmu are buried underground and formed under the high pressure and hypoxia environment for thousands of years. The formation process of ebony is so long, so what is the function of ebony?
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.
Above, I briefly introduced the function of ebony, hoping to help you understand ebony. The ancients said that "a box of jewels is not as good as ebony". Ebony has unique properties and functions and is loved by many Tibetan friends. At the same time, ebony is a non-renewable resource, so it has unique collection value.
Question 4: What is the use of ebony? There are two kinds of ebony:
One is that some wood is buried underground due to geological problems, and its density increases after high pressure, which is called black wood or ebony. There are many kinds of ebony in China and Sichuan.
The other is ebony produced in Mozambique, Africa, named after its dark heartwood and dense texture, which is suitable for making furniture and carving. It's a good thing, but there are too many fakes now.

If you feel dizzy and tinnitus because of busy work and can't sleep all night, agarwood can also help you sleep sweetly.
Question 6: What are the advantages of wearing dark wood? Because of the special natural geological conditions of ebony formation, ebony is a special and non-renewable precious material resource. There is a folk proverb in China that "a box of jewels is not as good as ebony". Ancient dignitaries regarded gloomy wooden furniture and carved works of art as Buddhist sacred products, treasures of towns and houses, and things to ward off evil spirits, and cherished them very much. Because it has the function of "not rotting for ten thousand years", it has become the first choice of imperial coffins in past dynasties, especially since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Even in the Qing Dynasty, it was always used exclusively by the royal family, and the people could not use it privately, which led to its increasing scarcity. Advantages are: non-corrosive, can ward off evil spirits, and is valuable.
Wei Xuefeng, a famous archaeologist, praised ebony for its archaeological, ebony and social value, and listed it as the "first collection". Mr. Huang Yongyu, a master of contemporary Chinese painting, even put his precious dark wood in the living room as a treasure of the town house when he was building a villa. In the book Feng Gong, a famous crosstalk performer and his family, it is said that his ancestor Feng wanted to give his first teacher a gift when he became acting president of the Republic of China. The teacher said, "When I get old, please give me a bite of longevity material. This is a lifetime commemoration. " A few months later, Mr. Wang was very unhappy when he saw a thin wooden coffin delivered. At a reception three months later, he complained. The guest is a carpenter. When he got up and looked at it, he was shocked and repeatedly praised "good material, good material, this is an out-and-out ebony!" Then I opened the lid of the coffin and saw dozens of pounds of beef sent by Feng. It's been more than three months, and the meat is fresh and tender, as if it had just been slaughtered. Ebony has also attracted the attention of many central and local leaders, and people in the cultural and artistic circles at home and abroad are amazed. Qiao Shizan, former chairman of the National People's Congress, praised it as "the treasure of abundance" and wrote an inscription happily. Zhang Xuezhong, secretary of Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, and leaders of relevant provinces and cities attached great importance to it, and made special instructions on the development and utilization of Sichuan ebony in September 2003. Many experts, scholars and artists equate ebony with the "national treasure" panda, Sanxingdui and Jinsha site, calling it "a unique skill in Sichuan". Wang, a master of modern arts and crafts in China, gave a more incisive evaluation of black wood, saying that "the discovery of these rare and ancient trees is a rare spectacle, strictly speaking, it is not limited to the category of wood, but should enter the category of' treasures'. Because the black wood art collected by the Palace Museum is not placed in the woodcarving art museum, but in the "Treasure Garden"
Question 7: What's the use of ebony? The main uses of ebony are: ebony has been used as an evil spirit in past dynasties to make handicrafts, Buddha statues, amulet pendants and so on. But also has medicinal value. Li Shizhen recorded the medicinal value of ebony in Compendium of Materia Medica: "ebony tastes sweet, salty, flat and detoxifies, and vomiting dysentery also governs (cures) cholera. Take 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.
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 the mud, under the condition of hypoxia and high pressure, under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, have been carbonized for thousands of years to form ebony, so they are also called "carbonized wood"
Because of its rarity and special value, ebony is more expensive than ordinary trees. The ancients said, "A house with half ebony is better than a box of treasures." This can be seen.
Question 8: What are the benefits of Jin Sinan blackwood? What's the effect of wearing dark wood Jin Sinan? Jin Sinan, also known as Jin Sinan ebony, is a kind of ebony. The reason for its formation is that nanmu was buried underground or submerged in water for special reasons, and it took thousands of years to form. This shows its preciousness. There is a folk saying that "two thousand daughters are sent to the underworld in exchange for ebony to worship heaven". Jin Sinan ebony is one of the most precious ebony varieties, and it needs great opportunities to find it. The surface of ebony in Jin Sinan is mostly dark brown, mostly yellowish brown or yellowish green. Soaking in water will not fade and rot. The surface texture of ebony in Jin Sinan is similar to that of Phoebe bournei, like water ripples, shiny, delicate, smooth and moist. After thousands of years, Jin Sinan ebony has a very powerful energy, far beyond crystal, which can calm the nerves and calm the spirit. Moreover, ebony in Jin Sinan has always been regarded as spiritual, which can ward off evil spirits, protect the body, make money and receive happiness. Therefore, all the nobles in the past dynasties admired Jin Sinan's black wood, and made it into furniture and various artworks as family heirlooms.
