Caohua pear has coarse wood, large brown eyes, yellow dry soil and no luster.

After tracing back to the source, it is not difficult to find that the title of "Cao Hua Li" is the earliest folk for the sake of convenience. For several kinds of wood, its appearance is closely related to Huanghua Pear.

During the period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Hainan Huanghua pear was almost cut down. coupled with the declining national strength at that time, it was impossible to import equally valuable wood (such as sandalwood rosewood).

At this time, Caohua pear was introduced into furniture production as a supplement and substitute for Huanghua pear.

Therefore, in the furniture of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the number of Caohuali furniture is considerable, while Huanghua pear furniture is rare.
