Where is the origin of Huanghua pear?

Huanghua pear is a kind of valuable wood, its growth is slow, the wood is solid, and the furniture and ornaments are very beautiful and precious. Where is the origin of Huanghua pear?

First, the origin of Huanghua pear

In China, Huanghua pear is mainly produced in Hainan, Guangdong, Fujian and other places, and abroad is mainly produced in Vietnam and Myanmar. Specifically, its origin is the low-altitude plain and hilly areas of Jianfengling, Diaoluo Mountain, Hainan Island.

Huanghua pear, also known as Hainan yellow sandalwood, Hainan Huanghua pear, and rosewood, iron wood, chicken wing wood, known as the four famous trees in ancient China, is now a national second-class protected plant.

II. The difference between Hainan Huanghua pear and Vietnam Huanghua pear

Hainan and Vietnam are geographically close, so the Huanghua pears produced by the two are also very similar and difficult to distinguish. Although both of them belong to valuable wood, the price of sea yellow is higher than that of yellow. How was the difference between the two before?

1. Aroma

Sea yellow wood, also known as Jiangxiang wood, has a "fragrant" flavor, the fragrance is stronger and quiet and elegant, while the yellowish fragrance is lighter and slightly sour after smelling. In addition, the sea yellow fragrance for a long time, playing with the bracelet after a week will still smell the fragrance, and the more yellow will not smell what fragrance.

2. Color and lustre

Sea yellow has a variety of colors, including purple, brown, red, black, and any combination of them, in addition to golden yellow. Most of the yellowish colors are only yellow and light. Compared with the two, the sea yellow color is slightly calmer than the more yellow, the overall color is dark red, while the overall color of Vietnam Huanghua pear is yellow and orange.

3. Texture

The sea yellow texture is fine, the ink line is black and clear, mostly crab claw shape and beauty shape, cow hair texture shape, although irregular but not messy, the feeling of pattern flow gives people a sense of flowing beauty. The more yellow is relatively more rough, the ink line is a little more black halo, and the landscape pattern is more common.

4. Feel

The surface of sea yellow is delicate, smooth and moist, while Vietnam Huanghua pear is relatively rough by comparison. This phenomenon is mainly due to the texture cell organization and very dense material structure of sea yellow. Another important reason is the proportion of sea yellow oil (sesame oil). After relevant tests, it was found that the highest oil content of sea yellow wood reached 27%, while that of more yellow wood was only 0.5%.

5. Grimace

People attribute the characteristics of Haihuang to "grimace". In fact, the so-called "ghost face" is the nodules and knots in the process of tree growth. Because the sea yellow has a long growth period, poor growth environment, and more branches, and most of the tree textures are distorted, staggered and irregular, so there are more and more patterns such as "grimace" and "grimace". Relatively speaking, the yellowing growth period is short, and the texture is mostly smooth and natural, so the yellowish grimace pattern is monotonous.
