Was nanmu a valuable wood in ancient times?

Nan and Mu are also respected. "Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Nanmu has become the patent of feudal princes and nobles. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, nanmu was designated as the imperial wood of the emperor, and it was forbidden for the people to own and use it, otherwise it would commit a great crime because it exceeded the etiquette system. By the Qing Dynasty and the Long Dynasty, Jin Sinan aniseed had basically dried up. According to relevant records, at that time, one gram of Jin Sinan was equivalent to ten grams of gold.

Golden nanmu is immortal for thousands of years. The texture is warm and soft, delicate as fat, silky as silk, like baby's skin. Warm in winter and cool in summer are good for health and protection. Colorful Jin Sinan presents different visual aesthetics under different colors and intensities of lighting. The light and shadow are swaying, and Jin Lang is fantastic and fascinating.

Jin Sinan has a breathtaking aura, which comes from its king's fragrance. Its fragrance is between if there is something like nothing, and its characteristics are quiet, elegant, clear and transparent. China has a record of "Longevity in Nanxiang" since ancient times.

Nanmu, with its unique charm of being born in a deep mountain and a poor valley, has not only become a masterpiece in wood, but also become a beauty in the eyes of literati and a love in my heart.

In Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty, "South was born in the south, and Guizhou and Sichuan were mountainous. . . There are dozens of giants around, and they are very fragrant, so they can make columns and utensils. Gai Cai Liang also. "

The owner of Xiaohengxiang Room in Qing Dynasty wrote "Grand View of unofficial history, Different Events in Qing Dynasty II". "There is nanmu between Chu and Guangdong, and it was born in a deep mountain valley. I don't know their age. "

A few words make people respect their long years and long life.

In the eyes of Yuan Mei (the gardener) in Qing Dynasty, the black wood formed by Jin Sinan is more and more full of fascinating mystery-"It is said that the black wood is a tree that started the world and will not be broken in 10,000 years. Its color is dark green and warm as brocade. "

In Gao Nan written by Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, the words "Nanshu is dark in color, and the riverside is green" and "The tree was pulled up by the wind and rain", and "The tiger inverted the dragon and hit the hazel thorn, and tears shed blood. I have new poems to sing, and the thatched cottage has no color since then. " The outline of Nanmu's beautiful figure, the sigh and regret that Nanmu was pulled away by the wind and rain, especially Du Fu's deep affection for Nanmu.

In Tang Suzong, our messenger Shi Jun recited Nanmu of Guangfu Temple in Bazhou, in which "I don't know how old I am, and I don't know how many skyscrapers I can find" and "Shuang Ling doesn't let pine and cypress grow, so I am called the pillar of the universe". The two sentences are rigorous and the weather is severe, which is worthy of being Nanmu's masterpiece.

Jin Sinan log, with its unpretentious appearance, is wrapped in colorful texture under its epidermis, which contains the essence and aura of heaven and earth, heavy and heavy, atmospheric and restrained. This coincides with the spiritual interest of the traditional literati in China-the atmosphere is calm, gorgeous but not extravagant, calm and elegant, inclusive but not revealing, gentle and natural, and outstanding.

Therefore, it also made Jin Sinan one of the best carriers of the scholar-bureaucrat spirit. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been widely appreciated by literati and treasured by celebrities, and has become the carrier of China traditional culture, showing the world the profoundness and infinite charm of China culture.
