What is Thuja?

Question 1: What is a cypress? Known as "living fossil", it is a rare cypress plant, which grows on the cliffs with high altitude and has a strange and harsh growth environment.

Question 2: There are several kinds of Platycladus orientalis. How to distinguish Platycladus orientalis is generally distinguished by its origin and taste. Health, old age, Chen, etc.

Golden cypress can be divided into two types: those that grow on cliffs and those that grow on hillsides. It's really hard to tell those who grow on the cliff from those who grow on the hillside. Actually, there's no need to struggle. Any hand string plays with oil tightness and patterns, just like lobular rosewood is also divided into new materials (fast-growing forests) and old materials (wild forests and hillside forests). In fact, the new materials with good oiliness and good density are not necessarily worse than the old materials, and they can all show the sense of glass transparency. So is Kim Jong-bai. Oiliness and density are the key, followed by patterns, which can be basically divided into parallel patterns, water ripples, scars and patterns.

Jin Zhongbai is not fake, only the materials of cliffs and slopes, with emphasis on oily density and pattern.

Question 3: How much is a catty of Thuja? Is this a bracelet or something? Not by the catty, right?

Question 4: What kind of wood is the jade bracelet similar to? It's pine and cypress. It's oily. I have a string of 2.0, which is too popular to sell. 100 is not bad. I think 80 can be bought.

Question 5: What kind of golden bell and cypress is good? Super golden bell and cypress: beautiful in shape, natural and generous, with roots and stems integrated in cracks in the stone, dead 100 years.

First-rate Jin Zhongbai: It must be the head or root of a tree. In the natural state, the epidermis has gray and dull verdigris. After cleaning, its wood is light reddish brown and oily, and it is rubbed back and forth with a bamboo brush to make it shiny and patina.

All-natural artworks with flowing water or cherry tree block texture, hard texture, bodhisattva clouds, figures, birds and animals.

Usually this kind of cliff cypress has been dead for more than 50 years, and its fiber is like shredded beef; Under the microscope, light yellow fibers with dark reddish brown oil spots can be seen at all ages, and the oil spots 15~25 layers at all ages are like silkworms in cross section. This kind of cliff tar is the best, such as boiling water to make tea, the soup is yellowish, the fragrance is pleasant and the sweetness is incomparable; If you put it at home, it will be calm and steady in shape, beautiful in shape and ingenious. It is the favorite of collectors and some health people, and it is expensive.

Second-class Golden Bell Thunb: It was slightly yellow at the time of death, with white relics, light yellow-red heartwood, and the cut surface changed from yellow to deep yellow-red due to oxidation, which was obviously oily. Microscopically, it can be seen that the fibers are milky white and closely arranged at the age of the tree. The section is similar to bamboo fiber, with yellow oil holes, which turns dark yellow after oxidation.

Usually, this kind of golden cypress has a large amount of volatile oil and a strong turpentine smell. After being exposed to air for a long time, the fragrance becomes faint due to oxidation.

The fragrance of golden cypress can purify the air, soothe the nerves, improve skin blood circulation, reduce swelling and inflammation, and delay aging. Can do incense, foot bath, beauty.

Third-class golden cypress: also known as golden cypress, it is a golden cypress tree that grows on the land. Because the soil is rich in water and nutrition, the growing environment is relaxed, and the trees grow fast, with high water content and little oil. Roots grow naturally; White skin is intact or with a little trace; Heartwood is reddish brown, moist, heavy in moisture and easy to crack; The difference between heartwood and sapwood is obvious, but the boundary is not obvious; Microscopically, the fibers are milky white, obviously sparse and mixed with pores. The cross section is like bleached bamboo fiber with yellowish oil holes; There is a small amount of yellow-white oil in the oil hole.

Jin Zhongbai Tu Embil: Jin Zhongbai Tu Embil has been dead for more than 500 years, and has left the gap of the cliff. After the wind and rain, the oil has been completely lost. Or other oil-free cedars. This kind of golden cypress has the flavor of spice or wood. Microscopically, it can be seen that the tree fibers are pale in color, with large and empty pores and small specific gravity, which can float on the water.

Question 6: What is the aging material of sapwood? What are the characteristics of sapwood aging materials?

Material aging means that the bark and sapwood of the golden cypress have completely weathered and decayed on the cliff, leaving only the core material. Some people call it weathering, some people call it depolymerization, and some people call it relic. Without bark and sapwood, that gully represents years, vicissitudes and tenacity. It is this kind of material that we advocate.

Tip: there are three components in golden cypress, and the other two components are as follows:

Golden cypress arbor

Raw material is the so-called live material, and its main characteristics are bark (sometimes bark will be peeled off) and sapwood (that is, white skin). The material is moist, and even some leaves remain on it. This material is what we want. There are bark (outermost bark) and sapwood (white part), which can be summarized as: raw materials.

Causes of raw meal cracking:

There are polar hydroxyl groups in cypress wood, which will expand and contract when it enters and exits the volume when it meets water. This anisotropy of expansion and contraction. The change rate generally varies with the direction of grain, which causes instability, cracking and bending of golden bell and cypress in the east.

Bai Ya is getting old.

The definition of old materials, as the name implies, refers to the stage between the death of Jin Zhongbai Oriental on the cliff (pay attention to this condition, it is on the cliff) and the weathering of bark and sapwood into aged materials. When we talk about old materials, we generally refer to the materials whose bark and sapwood have not rotted after the death of the oriental tree of Jin Zhongbai.

Lao Liao's time span is quite long. I remember a friend said that there was a dead golden bell and cypress on the cliff behind his house. When his father was very young, he saw this golden bell die there. Now he is in his forties. One day, after picking off the dead golden bell and cypress, he found that the white skin was still there! In other words, the decay of sapwood (white bark) is a very long process, at least for decades.

Question 7: What kind of wood is golden cypress? As the name implies, it is the cypress tree on the cliff, the root of the old cypress tree growing on the cliff. This is Kim Jong-bai.

Question 8: What are the five elements of Jin Zhongbai? Is it wood? "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains: "It can benefit waterways and promote Yang Tao". Jin zhongbai's five elements belong to gold, which can help lung qi and fur; The decoction pieces of golden bell, cypress, rat tail and ginseng can moisten intestines and remove oil, promote metabolism, remove garbage in the body, and beautify and moisturize skin.

Question 9: Where does Kimberly Wood come from?

Thuja orientalis is a plant of Cupressus in Cupressaceae. It is distributed in Chinese mainland, such as Yanshan Mountains in Sichuan and Hebei, and grows at an altitude of 1 0,400 meters. At present, it has not been artificially introduced and cultivated. There are about 1 10,000 plants of golden cypress in Kaixian, Chengkou and Xuebaoshan nature reserves in Chongqing.

Question 10: What is the function of making tea with Sabina vulgaris? One of the medicinal purposes of Sabina vulgaris: calming the nerves-it can obviously improve insomnia and dreaminess, and its fragrance can increase the oxygen content in the blood and make people feel happy. Second: detoxification and beauty-Jin Zhongbai is a gold element, which can help the lungs and fur; Third, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying-Jin Zhongbai's aromatic gas can purify the air, kill bacteria and viruses, and have anti-inflammatory and detumescence effects. The essential oil of golden cypress rat tail has a miraculous effect on insect and ant bites and nameless swelling and pain.
