It is the first of the four famous trees that do not rot for a thousand years and are commonly known as wood gold and earn money when you encounter it.

Nowadays, the development of this society is very fast, which can be said to be changing with each passing day. Things that were unimaginable in the past have now become a necessity for almost everyone. Such as computers, mobile phones and smart furniture, which was unthinkable 20 years ago. In the past, most of the things people needed were made of local materials. For example, furniture is made of wood, unlike now there are stainless steel and plastic. Although society is developing rapidly, it doesn't mean that things used to be bad. On the contrary, the wood products that used to be found in rural households have now become rare goods, especially some wood that is very slow to mature, which has been cut down so little that it may not be possible to buy it even if you have money.

In the history of our country, four kinds of wood are known as "four famous trees". Their wood quality is excellent, stable and the rate of finished wood is low, so they have been sought after by people since ancient times. The "four famous trees" are yellow rosewood, rosewood, chicken wing wood and iron wood, among which yellow rosewood is the first of the four famous trees, which is very precious and rare. Yellow rosewood is a unique tree species in China. According to the Records of Chinese trees, wild yellow rosewood grows in Hainan Island and used to grow in areas inhabited by Li ethnic groups. At that time, the door beams, door panels, cabinets and even pot covers of the old houses on Hainan Island were made of yellow rosewood and did not rot after thousands of years of wind and rain. Since the Ming Dynasty, yellow rosewood has become a special wood for the royal family, which is rare for ordinary people.

The name of Huanghua pear is actually very interesting, it sounds like the name of a kind of fruit, in fact, its name has something to do with pear. Because its leaves are like the leaves of a pear tree, the color of the wood is mostly golden, and the texture can show "old man's head", "fox head" and other textures, so the folk call it "Huanghua pear". There are many reasons why Huanghua pear is so valuable. First of all, from its wood, it is not afraid of cold and heat, no matter how the weather changes, basically will not deform, will not crack, it can be said that the wood is quite stable.

Secondly, it also has a high toughness, not easy to break, such as the Ming Dynasty furniture in the popular "three curved legs", can only be made with yellow rosewood, other wood can not be done. So in the Ming Dynasty, yellow rosewood is very popular, now see a lot of Ming-style furniture is made of yellow rosewood.

Yellow rosewood itself contains a certain oil, not only fragrance, but also has the role of sterilization, with the effect of insect prevention. In ancient China, the sawdust of yellow rosewood can also be used as medicine, and it is called "reducing incense" in the Compendium of Materia Medica, which can relax muscles and activate blood circulation, reduce blood fat and reduce blood pressure. It is said that in ancient times, some aristocrats filled their homes with yellow rosewood furniture, often smelled it to help calm the mind and help sleep, but also used its sawdust to make pillows and make tea to drink. Now it seems that this is really so extravagant that I dare not even think about it.

Unfortunately, the wild yellow pear wood resources are nearly exhausted, and the artificially planted yellow flower pear has not yet become mature (it takes at least a hundred years to become wood), so the yellow flower pear wood is now called "wood gold". In the past 20 years, the price has increased at least 400 times. And basically they are sold by jin, with a price of more than 10000 yuan per kilogram. If you can meet Huanghua pear with thick bowl mouth in the wild, it will really make a lot of money.
