When I came across this kind of tree, I made money. It used to be used to make dragon robes. People call it golden wood. Now it's almost out of digs.

When it comes to valuable wood, the first thing that comes to mind is well-known wood such as Jinshinan, red sandalwood, Huanghua pear, chicken wing wood, which has been popular since ancient times. It is not easy to become wood, expensive, and rare for ordinary people. However, in most mountainous areas of our country, there is a very common tree whose wood is comparable to sandalwood, commonly known as "southern sandalwood and northern sandalwood". Its wood is hard, sinking in case of water, beautiful texture, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, many farmers have seen it, but do not know its true value.

This kind of tree is called "Fengmu". It is covered with thorns and grows very slowly. it is difficult to grow into wood even after decades of growth, and people who do not know the goods think it is a kind of shrub. In the southern countryside, people call it "wild litchi" because its fruit is somewhat similar to that of litchi, but because it has more thorns on its branches, no one eats its fruit. The main use of Zhe wood in the south is to raise silkworms with its leaves. It is a mulberry tree, and silkworms like to eat its leaves very much. In fact, the most valuable part of Zhe wood is its core material.

The core of Zhe wood is different from other trees in that it is yellow. in ancient China, Zhe wood core was a kind of high-grade dye, which was usually used to make dragon robes. It was Sui Wendi who first put on the dragon robe of Zhe Mu. Since then, people began to use the term "Zhe robe" to refer to the emperor. Su Dongpo, a writer in the Song Dynasty, once wrote: "when he was young, the bentgrass was used for the emperor's leisure, and the Zhe robe was served in the pool for three thousand." In the poem, Zhe robe is used to refer to the emperor.

In addition to being used to make dragon robes, Zhe wood is also an excellent material for making slingshots and bows and arrows in ancient times. It is recorded in the Han Dynasty: "Zhe material is used as a bow, but it is released quickly." Nowadays, Zhe wood is mainly used to make valuable handicrafts and articles.

A good piece of Zhe wood can not be found, because it is easy to be eaten by worms in the process of growth, so it is often seen that a very thick Zhe wood is empty after sawing it, and its value is greatly reduced. Therefore, a lot of Zhe wood are processed into penholder, or car beads, it is difficult to see Zhe wood furniture on the market. The texture of Zhe wood core is very beautiful, the color is golden, and you can see a circle of white rings, which is known as "golden wood" in the folk.

In recent years, as the value of Zhe Mu is known, more than a hundred years of Zhe Mu has been dug up and sold by lawbreakers, resulting in Zhe Mu being almost cut out. Now when you see a tall Zhe wood, you can earn it, but you can't cut it down at will. Zhe Mu is now a national protected plant, please do not cut down indiscriminately!
