The word "Shen" in the ancient saying "Shen Musk" refers to agarwood. Aquilaria sinensis has been listed as the first fragrance since ancient times. "Aquilaria sinensis before sandalwood" shows the world's incomparable respect for Aquilaria sinensis. It not only has elegant fragrance, but also has the functions of customs clearance, pulse ventilation, health preservation and treatment. The mysterious and strange fragrance of agarwood has condensed the aura of heaven and earth for thousands of years. The ancients believed that its spiritual body could protect the health and longevity of its owner and make everything flourish. Top agarwood is rarer and more precious than gold and diamonds, and it is definitely the "treasure of the town hall" of first-class collectors at home and abroad.
Daphne odora is an extremely precious and rare wood since ancient times, and it is also the best raw material for making handicrafts. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, senior members of the royal family (emperors, princes, queens, etc. It is advocated that this kind of wood is used to make all kinds of learning tools, and the technology is fine, just like rhinoceros horn. Because the hardness of agarwood is much higher than that of wood, and both oily and wooden materials are condensed, the texture is uneven, and the skill of the sculptor is extremely high, so good agarwood woodcarving is extremely precious, and large pieces of agarwood woodcarving are rare. Moreover, Daphne is precious, with many rotten wood and fine dried wood, which are used for carving, but less aniseed. Therefore, once Daphne's "big piece" appears in the auction market, it will often have a shocking performance.
Implicit and restrained calligraphy bone, elegant implication of Daphne. The most touching thing about agarwood is its "sinking", which has a quiet and introverted quality; It is also in its "fragrance". Once it is fragrant, the fragrance will never disappear. At present, the top Daphne family is increasingly scarce. The real Daphne family can become more and more fragrant with the passage of time. The color of Daphne odora will get deeper and deeper with time, the oil glands will become more and more active, and the false fragrance will soon fade away.

4. Market situation
Who has a strong hand against the strong?

Then, we will briefly describe the basic hardware elements of the dragon bed (according to public information), which is a deep understanding of the common sense of the dragon bed and a long knowledge for readers.

Facing the dragon bed made of many precious materials, how to choose the real king? The reporter collected some suggestions from many famous archaeologists, wood experts and Qingming furniture collectors. The value of the dragon bed should be measured from several key angles.
The quality and grade of raw materials of dragon bed are the basis of value.
That is, the wooden material of the dragon bed itself, the royal furniture in the Qing Dynasty, is mostly rosewood and yellow gorgeous, and the top Daphne family is rare, so only the royal members of the emperor and prince level can own it, and the number is very rare; Members of the royal family, such as Jun Wang, Baylor, Bei Zi and Faye Wong, are mostly rosewood and Huang Huali.
The texture and style of the emperor's dragon bed are definitely higher than other members of the royal family.
The internal management of the Qing court was hierarchical. Only the Qing emperor's dragon beds can all adopt five-claw dragons and frontal dragons. Prince can also use some five-claw dragons, but attach four-claw dragons to show the difference with the emperor. In addition, there are examples of emperors giving imperial court officials dragon beds, most of which are accompanied by three-claw dragons. In addition, four-claw dragons and three-claw dragons should be added to the dragon beds of Jun Wang, Baylor and Wang Hao to show the grade difference.
The value of the dragon bed in the early Qing Dynasty was higher than that in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
According to an archaeologist in a museum in Beijing, the collections of the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty were highly sought after in the collection market and were of great value.
4. Even the same emperor, different bedrooms and different specifications of dragon beds have different market values.
According to historical records, in the early Qing Dynasty, Gan Qing Palace was the emperor's bedroom. After the death of Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng lived in hall of mental cultivation instead of mourning in Gan Qing. Later, Yong Zhengdi took hall of mental cultivation as his official bedroom and never moved to Gan Qing Palace. From Yongzheng to Xuan Tong, eight emperors lived in hall of mental cultivation. The dragon bed in hall of mental cultivation's bedroom belongs to the emperor's sleeping dragon bed, and its texture and specifications are also the highest. There are non-permanent closed rooms and dragon beds on the east and west sides of hall of mental cultivation Houdian, but the quality and specifications are lower than those of sleeping dragon beds.
5. Who should be the "first person in the dragon bed" to distinguish the real person through the clouds?
The appearance of the eight-column dragon bed in Shenzhen Jinxiu Art Museum has brought new shock to the agarwood collection. Historians, archaeologists and collectors from several museums in Beijing and Guangdong visited Shenzhen in succession to see the royal style of this magnificent dragon bed.
