Cork: top grade in white wood
In ancient Chinese furniture, some white wood furniture has a much longer history than hardwood furniture. This is because after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, hardwood writers were made possible by the improvement of woodworking tools. In the long history of white wood furniture, there is one category that cannot be ignored, that is, cork furniture. Cork is cultivated in most parts of China. Because of its good texture, it is recognized as the top grade in white wood. The craftsmen in the north even refer to it as “the 'huanghua pear' in white woodâ€.
Phellodendron amurense Rupr. is aliased as Astragalus, Alder, and Huangpo, and there is also a place called Yellow-skin, which is not the same as the cypress that we usually see in the cypress. Cork is a genus of the genus Cortex, which is widely distributed in northeast, north China, Ningxia, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places. It is a deciduous tree with a height of 10 to 15 meters, a maximum of 35 meters, and a trunk diameter of more than 1 meter. Under good growing conditions, Cork is not only fast-growing, but also has a long life span, some of which can last for more than three hundred years, generally around one hundred years. According to the geographical area, Cork is divided into Chuanbai and Guanbai. Produced in Sichuan and Guizhou, Chuanbai is produced in the northeastern region. The cork tree is thick, the crown is large, and the tree is beautiful. The leaves are singularly pinnately compound, with yellow-green flowers in June, mature berries in September, black, with a special aroma and thick bark.
Corkwood is well-developed with a yellowish endothelium. The familiar Chinese herbal medicine "Huangbai" is made from its dried endothelium, and is called "four yellow" with astragalus, berberine and astragalus. Phellodendron has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, purging fire and dampness; clearing the heat of dampness, purging fire, treating dysentery caused by dampness, jaundice, vaginal discharge, hemorrhoids and blood in the stool, causing bone steaming heat caused by yin deficiency and fire, eye red tinnitus, night sweats, tongue Sore, etc., and have a bacteriostatic effect. The reason why cork is the best eucalyptus since ancient times is also due to its medicinal value. Several famous Han tombs unearthed in Beijing have “yellow intestines†that are stacked neatly with thousands of cedars, because cork has aroma, water resistance and corrosion resistance.
The color of the cork is warm and the texture is fine. It is like a child's skin, and it has a charm. The cedar wood festival, commonly known as "ç––", is a defect in the early conception, so some cork is painted to decorate the defects. In recent years, the concept has changed, advocating nature, and the cypress furniture is beautiful, and it is rare to be covered. The famous collector Ma Weidu believes that it is precisely because of the different sizes, the layout is random and natural, and it is impossible for manpower to meet, which has become the reason why Huangbai furniture is highly respected.
Since Cork is distributed in both the north and the south of China, it can solve the problem of furniture materials on the spot from the perspective of economy, practicality and durability. Therefore, it is mostly made of regional natural materials to make folk furniture. The waist-lined straight and the old half-table were also included in the "Ming-style furniture treasures" by Mr. Wang Shizhen. Wang Lao said that this half-table is Nanbai, but there is also Huang Baiyi in "The Study of Ming Style Furniture". It seems that Nanbai should be the different name of the cork, the same kind of wood. In addition to furniture materials alone, it is often used in conjunction with other woods in the production of folk furniture. Because of the delicate texture of the cypress, the many scorpions are used in conjunction with the scorpion scorpion. There are many sayings about the cypress and the cypress, and the bud is the scorpion scorpion. This kind of customary collocation is also used by some experts to cut furniture and break the material, because as long as one can be seen, it will be inferred to match it.
In recent years, due to the increasing role of medicinal properties of Phellodendron chinense, the deforestation of Phellodendron is severe, and the resources of Phellodendron chinensis are gradually decreasing. This is, to some extent, the possibility of raising the price of cork furniture. In the private sector, many Ming and Qing dynasty Huangbai furniture has become the object of chasing by collectors. At present, in the antique shops in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, for the same style of furniture, the price of cork furniture has exceeded that of beech furniture.
