First, the significance of pairing
China people pay attention to couples, while China people pay attention to "double happiness" in weddings, and many auspicious things are inseparable from even numbers. From China's architecture, traditional urban planning and ancient art forms, they all advocate "symmetrical beauty". So the theoretical basis of walnut pairing should also come from the above reasons.
The value of Wan Wen walnut often depends on its beauty and "rarity". The stronger the aesthetic feeling, the rarer it is and the higher its value. As a natural product, the beauty of walnuts basically lies in the recognition of players. If two similar walnuts with strong aesthetic feeling are put together and become a whole, it will be much more difficult to find a good walnut, so the "rarity" is obviously improved and the value of playing and collecting walnuts is improved.
From the physiological function of human hands, playing with two walnuts is the most suitable and comfortable. A walnut can only be "pinched" and cannot be rotated and played. Playing with a plate can make your fingers move fully, and walnuts rotate in your hands, which is also convenient for playing and fitness.
To sum up, the connotation of pairing comes from the traditional aesthetics of China people; The second is to improve the value of walnuts through aesthetic feeling and improving "rarity"; Third, a pair of walnuts is obviously more suitable for playing.
Second, attach importance to pairing.
I only talk about pairing here, not about the advantages and disadvantages of varieties. No matter what walnuts, pairing should be so particular.
1. Variety: The collocation must be matched with the walnut of the same variety. Different varieties of walnuts make a pair of walnuts, which is not inflow. I've seen a chicken heart and a tiger head playing before, but it's definitely "fooling around"
2. Trees: Walnuts of the same variety and different trees often have a gap in texture and appearance cortex, which is difficult to be consistent. At present, some paired walnuts on the market are made of different trees, even walnuts dozens of miles away, which will have some influence on other aspects of pairing. Walnut of a tree can solve some fundamental problems in pairing, so it is also important to pair with the same tree.
3. Size: Generally speaking, the closer the size of walnuts, the better. It can't be more than one millimeter. Beyond this size, you can't play together.
4. Quality: The cortex of walnut should be soft and hard, and the cortex is the basis to ensure the playing effect. Different cortex can lead to color difference and other problems.
5. Appearance: shoulder height, the direction of the edge, the curvature of the stomach, the shape of the navel, the size of the base, and even the lines on the edge. The closer you look, the more likely you are to become a top grade.
6. Grain: It is not required that the grain is exactly the same, nor can it be exactly the same, but the characteristics, thickness and distribution of the grain are similar, and it is best to echo each other.
If a pair of walnuts can fully meet the above six points, it is definitely the best of the varieties. No matter what kind of walnuts, everyone will love to eat them. But at least the first four points must be met, which is necessary. If the last two points are almost the same, you can barely, and the lack of the last two points is also the most common phenomenon.
Third, how to pair
Generally, we don't have a chance to practice collocation. In most cases, merchants pair up and sell them to players. There may be some commercial factors, but it is mainly based on aesthetics. We can't control each other, but at least we should know what a good match is and how to match it.
Paired people must first have a good aesthetic angle, have enough understanding of walnuts, and then have a good memory. After seeing the characteristics of a pair of walnuts, remember to remember, and remember when you see walnuts with similar characteristics. Finally, be careful, be patient and concentrate, and it is best not to be nearsighted.
Under normal circumstances, in a bag of walnuts, first pick out the big ones to match, because the quantity is small, it is better to match. Then classify the avatars almost one by one and match them by points. Look at the size first. Generally skilled people can match walnuts accurately even without calipers. The following are the concentrated reflections and reactions of the comprehensive standards in their minds. After rough matching, comparison and adjustment, we have a pair of finished products in our hands.
4. Pairing of heteromorphic walnuts
Heteromorphic walnuts pay more attention to pairing. Heteromorphic walnut itself is a variant variety. If you take it out individually, it is of little value. Only when it is well matched can it be valuable. Eagle's beak, Buddha's belly, double petals, four edges, three edges, etc. The yield is very low, and sometimes it takes many years to match. Because it is difficult to match, it is not only "similar" but also "symmetrical".
