How to distinguish paulownia from Chinese fir guqin

Indus is a deciduous tree with seeds, flowers, leaves and roots, which originated in China. Skin, etc. You can do whatever you want. It is not related to Erythrina (Euphorbiaceae), Paulownia (Scrophulariaceae) and Platanus (Platanus).

The buttonwood tree is tall and straight, with five sections of trunk, towering upward and magnificent. The bark is smooth and green with dense leaves. From stem to branch, it is lush and looks elegant and clean. "A Yushu stands tall, standing in Chiba, the municipal party committee", and the beautiful scenery of jasper pear, phoenix tree and beauty is beautifully written.

In practical use, Platanus acerifolia is an alternative plate. Many people have buttonwood trees. Paulownia, as you know, is surprisingly heavy. Indus is not very heavy, but it is relatively light. After playing the piano, you can tell it with your fingers along the wood grain. Paulownia is extremely soft and sycamore is hard. Most of the existing old pianos are paulownia trees such as phoenix tree. Compared with paulownia, the knocking sound is quiet and restrained, the vibration is moderate and the stone rhyme is sufficient, which has great advantages. But the old phoenix tree is hard to find, and Chinese fir is also an excellent choice for people.

Fir wood

Chinese fir is a widely distributed economic tree species in China. Like phoenix tree, the roots, bark, autumn grain, wood and leaves of Chinese fir can all be used as medicine. In addition to the panel and floor, the raw materials of grey tires and even raw lacquer used in piano painting are necessary in the view of Chinese medicine. It can be seen that the ancients' thinking about nature is another way besides painting.

Chinese fir has straight texture, uniform structure and high stability coefficient, and contains "Chinese fir", which is also the reason why Chinese fir emits fragrance. This substance is the main reason why Chinese fir is resistant to insects and rot. Presumably, the Chinese fir guqin handed down from generation to generation can be passed down to this day, which is more or less related to this.

Among many Chinese fir varieties, spruce has the best vibration effect when used as a panel. Spruce is light and hard, and has excellent acoustic performance. The sound transmission speed can reach 565,438+065,438+06 meters per second, which has a good filtering effect on dissonant high-pitched harmonics and produces clear, bright, pure and beautiful sound.

Another kind of Chinese fir, which grows in Hunan, is heavy and brittle, with raindrop-like brown spots on the layout, and the knocking sound is as clear as a bell. It is also the best choice as piano material.

Chinese fir, as a kind of board, has never been used as much as it is today in history, nor has it received so much attention as it is today. The sound of the old Chinese fir knocking is clear and dense, and its sound is delicate and smooth, dense and smooth, and there are also rich and broad-minded people. There are many kinds of old Chinese fir, so it should be used correctly according to each floor when choosing.

phoenix tree

Indus has a long history of cultivation in China. The book "Tongpu" written by Chen Juan in the Northern Song Dynasty comprehensively records the rich experience of ancient working people in cultivating and utilizing paulownia, and it still has important reference value. After 1949, paulownia afforestation has made great progress, mainly in lankao county. Paulownia, as a material for making musical instruments, is mostly used for pipa and guzheng.

Paulownia is also widely used as a guqin panel today because it can easily solve the vibration problem when making guqin. As the saying goes, its advantages are its disadvantages. Guqin made of paulownia, such as grey tire, can not suppress vibration well, and the timbre in the later stage is easy to be empty and dry, not warm enough and too dull. Its sound quality is mostly poor. Insufficient penetration, bad downward direction. Paulownia and guqin seem to be similar in their pursuit of restrained and implicit timbre, but there are also a few old materials suitable for the system, so we should choose the right floor to match them.

Zimu

Sub-wood is the most widely used wood species in China. Zimu is not only a high-quality material for making musical instruments, but also a good material for making musical instruments. Catalpa can also be used as medicine. It can be decocted in soup and steamed in barrels, which can cure hand and foot ventilation. Boiling catalpa sawdust into thick juice can treat cholera vomiting and diarrhea.

In ancient times, when people with low terrain were buried, catalpa wood was often used as coffins. In addition, sub-wood is also a good tire base material for wood tire lacquerware. Like the phoenix tree, Catalpa bungeana is another kind of auspicious tree that China people think. In ancient China, if a girl was born, she would plant a catalpa tree as the furniture for her daughter's marriage. In ancient times, sub-woodcarving was used for lettering and printing, so the publishing of ancient books was also called "Fu Zi".

Whether in theory or in practice, sub-wood is the best choice for flooring. It has something that other wood doesn't have. It has a heavy knocking sound and a golden charm. This is the implied rare sun be the spirit as dim.

Phoebe jinsiensis

Phoebe bournei is a species of Phoebe, and there are about 34 species in China. As long as the golden thread is obvious, it can be identified as Phoebe bournei Phoebe bournei is famous for its unique and precious wood in China. Its color is generally yellow with light green, and some are yellow, red and brown. There are obviously more crystals in Jin Sinan wood than ordinary nanmu. The surface of wood shines in the sun, and gold thread emerges, which has a noble and elegant atmosphere.

There are three kinds of nanmu recorded by Zhong Bo Yao Lan: one is Xiangnan, with purplish wood, fragrance and beautiful texture; Second, Jin Sinan with gold thread in the wood grain is the best nanmu. What is even more rare is that some nanmu materials form natural landscape figures; Third, nanmu wood is soft and often used to make furniture. The throne of the ancient emperor's dragon chair was made of high-quality golden silk. In addition, nanmu is a special wood used to build royal palaces, tombs and gardens in ancient times, which has been rare since the Qing Dynasty.

In practical use, nanmu with golden silk as the bottom plate is also an option, which sounds solid and heavy but not boring. It has a good suppression of the slightly vibrating panel in the old fir, and the two are also a good match.
