However, shady wood is obviously different from dark wood. Shading wood is ebony, also known as ebony, which was called "black" or "ebony" in ancient times. It belongs to the precious persimmon tree species (Persimmon Family) whose central wood is black. Persimmon tree species are distributed in tropical, subtropical and some temperate regions all over the world, and black heartwood is mainly produced in tropical Asia and Africa, such as India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Madagascar, Congo. Gabon and other countries. China, Taiwan Province Province, Hainan, Yunnan and other places are also produced. As one of the famous materials of craft sculpture, musical instruments and furniture, ebony commercial materials are usually divided into the following two types in China: (1) heartwood black (pure black or slightly emerald green and irregular black heartwood (with bright and dark stripes or stripes), which is the light industry standard QB/T2385-98 "Dark and Precious Hardwood Furniture" (see standard appendix A2./kloc-0) (2) The classification of ebony (all uranium black) and striped ebony (black or chestnut brown with light black stripes in the middle) has passed the examination and approval of the national standard "Redwood". In traditional timber industry (such as national musical instrument manufacturing), ebony wood is customarily divided into ebony (rhinoceros), Lvmu (tea wood) and ebony (ebony). According to ancient records, "rhinoceros wood" is pure black. Very crisp: "tea black" is imported in the past, and its texture is solid, but it will sink in water; Ubuntu will be in the future, and Ubuntu will be rotten.

The axial thin structure is rich, which is mainly linear (tangential) in the concentric layer separation tube group. The wood rays are extremely thin, the radial marks are not obvious, and no chord marks can be seen. The wood sparkled. There is no special smell. The structure is thin and uniform, and the texture is usually slightly staggered. This material is hard and heavy. Corrosion resistance and durability. The air-dried density is greater than 0.85g/cm3, and it generally sinks into water. Main tree species of commercial timber: ebony (D.ebenum) and ebony (D.crassifcora), ebony (D.pilosantnera), ebony (D.melanoxylon), ebony (Dcelebica), ebony (Dtomentosa) and ebony (D. D. Mont) in East India. The natural variation of celestial bodies in ancient Sichuan is that from 2000 to 10000 years ago, all plants and creatures on the ground were buried in low-lying places such as ancient river beds by earthquakes, floods and mudslides. Some trees buried in the soil are formed by carbonization for thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the conditions of hypoxia and high pressure and under the action of microorganisms such as bacteria, so they are also called "carbonized wood". News _ Content "The magical Sanxingdui ebony, like the world-famous Sanxingdui cultural relics, is a precious heritage of human beings in Sichuan, an important part of ancient Shu civilization, and is known as a living fossil. Ebony is the common name of Sichuan ebony, not the living ebony on the African continent. The natural variation of celestial bodies in ancient Sichuan is that from 2000 to 10000 years ago, all plants and creatures on the ground were buried in low-lying places such as ancient river beds by earthquakes, floods and mudslides. Some trees buried in the soil are formed by carbonization for thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the conditions of hypoxia and high pressure and under the action of microorganisms such as bacteria, so they are also called "carbonized wood". Ebony is mainly distributed in four major rivers and their tributaries in Sichuan. Many ebony lovers take samples for carbon 14 isotope determination, and most ebony dates from more than 2,000 years ago to 40,000 years ago. It can be seen that ebony has experienced vicissitudes and suffered from various natural external and internal forces, making its natural form weird, simple, elegant and graceful. It is no wonder that foreigners are amazed as "Oriental Shenmu" after visiting. The ancient riverbed near Sanxingdui is one of the most concentrated producing areas of ebony. According to charcoal 14 of the inspection center of China Geo University, ebony is 3,200 years old. My ebony collection is only 10 km away from Sanxingdui. There are many kinds of ebony, including: willow, green bar tree, camphor tree, nanmu (Phoebe bournie and Phoebe nei), Toona sinensis, red bean bin, coriaria, willow, phellodendron amurense, Sophora japonica and sandalwood. Generally, ebony can be formed by tree species with fragrance and bactericidal properties. A big ebony tree with a diameter of 3 meters was also found in Mianyuanhe area of Deyang City, which shows how beautiful and spectacular the ancient ecological environment is. Ebony is hard, mostly brown-black, black-red, gold and yellow-brown. Its section is smooth and the wood grain is fine, which can be polished to mirror brightness. Some ebony trees are similar in nature to rosewood. It never fades, does not rot, does not produce insects, and is an ideal material for making works of art and antique furniture. Archaeologists deciphered the mystery of a large number of ivory unearthed in Sanxingdui by restoring the living environment at that time with Samsung ebony. It is the spirituality of ebony that the teachers in the Palace Museum decided that ebony has a remarkable function of promoting blood circulation and prolonging life. Shu people regard it as a treasure to ward off evil spirits and receive happiness. Because ebony is a non-renewable resource, the development amount is less and less, and some natural ebony artworks are of great collection value. Ebony is an ancient relic, commonly known as "black wood". Thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, due to natural changes such as landslides and floods, many ancient trees were washed down and buried in the ancient riverbed, and the riverbed was covered with sediment. Ebony is a non-renewable resource and a treasure of Shu. Its texture is calm and heavy, its color is dull and its material resources are scarce. Using its natural trend, it is processed into various root carvings, hawthorn and school stationery. It is really a high-grade gift and has great collection value. There are hundreds of works to choose from. The ancients said: If there is a box of jewels at home, it is better to ask Ebony: Will my Baidu be all right? Not the answer I want.
