There are three kinds of sea willow, red willow, stone willow and golden willow. Among them, red willow, red willow and blood willow are divided into ordinary red willow, and blood willow and red willow are especially rare. Because of the beautiful texture of sea willow and the delicate and full yellow meat, red willow and blood willow are relatively rare and precious. Stone willow is ugly in appearance, poor in luster and dead. The price in the market is very cheap, and the golden willow is especially rare and expensive, and there is hardly any in the market. At present, all the gold willows on the market are chemical willows, and the sea-wood rattan willows are soaked in chemical drugs to become golden yellow, and the natural color is black, which is particularly bad for the body and easy to rot after long-term exposure.

From the funerary objects, some intact funerary objects such as bracelets and kung fu tea sets carved by sea willows were found. According to historical records, Guanluxu Village was once the place where Zhao Bing, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, and Lu Xiufu and Chen, the left and right prime ministers, fled and passed by, so it is called "Guanluxu Village" and has a history of more than 700 years. It can be seen how amazing the corrosion resistance of sea willow is.
