Whether rosewood or Huang Huali is good, we need to be extra cautious when choosing furniture, because there are many kinds of furniture materials, rosewood and yellow gorgeous are our common materials. Let's share mahogany or Huang Huali for everyone.
Is rosewood better than Huang Huali? 1 1, Huang Huali "salted fish turns over", from soil to gold.
Before the Ming Dynasty, Huang Huali was not well known and valued by people. This is a tree species that can be cut down at will. Even ordinary people's pigsty and fences were built with Huang Huali. Until 600 years ago, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean and cut down some wood in Southeast Asia. At that time, these logs, which were only used for pressing ships, were taken to Suzhou and seen by local craftsmen. They were surprised and made furniture, some of which were presented to the then Emperor Zhu Zhanji.
Because the pattern of this wood is beautiful, the polished glass body looks dizzy. Zhu Zhanji felt incredible after reading it, and immediately decided to look for this piece of wood. Since then, Huang Huali has been turned over by salted fish and entered the elegant palace. Since then, its value has changed from "earth to gold" to the wood of emperors and nobles.
Of course, the reason why the Ming Dynasty had a soft spot for Huang Huali was inseparable from the Buddhist culture at that time. The Ming Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty ruled by the Han nationality in China, and the ancient culture dominated by Confucianism was very mature. The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have also achieved great success in theory. Intellectuals in Ming Dynasty enjoyed thousands of years of cultural accumulation and undoubtedly had unprecedented academic achievements. Huang Huali furniture was born in the Ming Dynasty, which is closely related to the academic accomplishment and aesthetic consciousness of the gentry.
2. Huanghua pear is delicate in texture and natural in beauty.
From the perspective of Huang Huali furniture handed down from ancient times, it is a kind of yellow-brown' wood', with very delicate wood grain, hidden or present wood grain, and the yellow-brown tone is not noisy and has natural beauty; Especially where there are wooden knots, it is like a halo pattern the size of copper coins, which is very beautiful. The technological performance of huanghuali is very superior, with the smallest shrinkage and expansion rate, which is not easy to deform, and it feels warm and moist, so it doesn't feel cold when touching huanghuali furniture in winter. In the Ming Dynasty, Huang Huali was the first choice for exquisite wooden furniture.
Huang Huali furniture is considered as a first-class product. The furniture we can see in Huang Huali in Ming and Qing Dynasties today is basically the furniture produced before the Qing Dynasty, and is usually classified as Ming furniture. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Huali's timber resources were exhausted, and many Huang Huali artifacts were made by the people.
3. Huang Huali was sent to Athens in the Qing Dynasty, with a strong literati atmosphere.
In Ming furniture, the preferred material is Huang Huali. Huang Huali furniture is the representative of simple and elegant culture in Ming Dynasty.
Scholars in the Ming Dynasty advocated elegance, and dignitaries and wealthy businessmen also attached elegance. Because many literati painters living in Suzhou in Ming Dynasty directly participated in the gardening art and the design and production of furniture, craftsmen also catered to the elegance of literati, thus forming the elegance of Ming-style furniture.
Elegance is embodied in furniture, that is, simple shape, simple decoration, fresh and natural colors, and no affectation. Generally speaking, the artistic effect of Ming-style furniture is quiet, simple, steady, spacious and ethereal. Its modeling styles are varied and often change, but there is a basic point, that is, concise and smooth lines.
Experts and scholars in the academic research of antique furniture in China believe that most consumers who love Huang Huali furniture are the inheritors of China traditional culture. In particular, Huang Huali's quiet and unassuming wooden features are loved by the majority of literati. They pay attention to personal diligence, do not advocate pleasure, pay attention to elegance and elegance in temperament, and do not pay attention to nobility and wealth. They decorate their houses with Huang Huali furniture, which makes people feel calm and stable. They can quickly enter the state of study and work, and have a strong literati atmosphere.

Rosewood: Elegant, the first choice of qing-style furniture.
1, rosewood is solemn and a symbol of power.
As we all know, Manchu entered the Central Plains by military victory, not by economic and cultural strength. Faced with a more developed Han culture, a broader territory and a large Han population, it was hard for the rulers at that time not to feel inferior. Therefore, the aesthetic conception of the entire Qing dynasty royal family turned to rosewood, a dark wood.
Red sandalwood is calm and heavy in color, solemn and dignified. No matter whether it is carved horizontally or vertically, the silk pattern is not chaotic. It is most suitable for carving and inlaying patterns that expose the theme, and it can best meet the rulers' pursuit of dignified and solemn grade symbols and good luck and self-happiness.
Of course, qing-style furniture, represented by red sandalwood, has created an artistic realm with unique aesthetic value in terms of style, material, technology and style, which is different from Ming-style Huang Huali furniture and shines brilliantly in the ranks of outstanding cultural heritage in China.
In the Qing Dynasty, the royal family attached great importance to rosewood. It can be said that the elaborately carved rosewood furniture represents the highest achievement of qing dynasty furniture's art, and some rich and powerful people also decorate the facade with rosewood furniture, which has formed an atmosphere of advocating rosewood furniture among the affluent class in society.
2, rosewood is noble, inch sandalwood inch gold.
Rosewood is of noble blood. Since ancient times, the evaluation of rosewood has been very high from the court to the people, and there is a saying that "one inch of rosewood is one inch of gold". The largest rosewood solid wood is only about 20 cm in diameter (mostly hollow), and its preciousness can be imagined.
Because it is too expensive, there are not many rosewood objects left. If it is a large-sized furniture, because the materials are scarce, it will be kept less. Red sandalwood has the strongest texture and the heaviest weight among all kinds of hardwood. In addition to purple and black, some are as black as paint, and the texture is almost invisible. Not as gorgeous as Huang Huali, but it is quiet and ancient, which is incomparable to any wood.
Among all kinds of hardwoods, rosewood has the finest texture, the heaviest weight, and the grain is not obvious. When rosewood is put into liquor, it will immediately decompose into pink, and form a sticky gel with liquor, which can be connected into lines when poured out. This is an effective way to identify rosewood.
3. The rosewood has a deep rhyme and a strong court culture.
In qing-style furniture, the preferred material is rosewood. Mahogany furniture is the representative of court culture in Qing Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, people's hobbies and pursuits for furniture gradually increased due to the economic prosperity from Qianlong to Jiaqing. Therefore, qing dynasty furniture was generous in materials, dignified in posture, demanding more and more decoration, and was born with elegance, which showed the highest level of craftsmanship at that time.
The color of rosewood furniture is calm, giving people a subtle and solemn aesthetic feeling, which can be said to represent the highest aesthetic standard of the court royal family. China people admire red sandalwood because it is solid and thick, with delicate wood, beautiful texture, good toughness and carving resistance. Experts and scholars in the academic research of antique furniture in China believe that elegant rosewood is more popular with rich and powerful people.
They attach importance to artistic charm, advocate the artistic features and aesthetic taste of "exquisite charm and profound beauty in materials and art", and decorate their homes with these gorgeous and heavy qing dynasty furniture, as if silently demonstrating the dignity of yesterday with the reserved and detached nobility.
Huang Huali and rosewood have their own advantages and disadvantages. We can't say which is better or worse. We can only say which one suits you better and which one you like better. They are all wood with long growth life and good quality, and are valuable materials for making furniture. The texture of huali is peculiar, full of tension and nature, and the color of rosewood is low-key and fragrant, and its charm is restrained. The stability of rosewood is its specialty, but the wood grain in Huang Huali is fluid and changeable, which rosewood does not have. Therefore, there is no better word to describe Huang Huali and rosewood.
Red sandalwood or Huang Huali? Huang Huali: In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the preferred material was Huang Huali wood. This material is not static, the color is not very big, and the texture is hidden or present, vivid and changeable. Huang Huali didn't have such a name in ancient times, only "Huali" or "Flower Donkey". Later, it was dubbed "yellow", mainly to distinguish the so-called "new pear" which is still widely used to make furniture.
Its distinctive feature is that the pattern has a surface, that is, the tree is the best and the flowers are thick and light. Another feature is that heartwood and sapwood are very different. Heartwood is reddish brown to dark reddish brown or purple reddish brown, with different shades, often with dark brown stripes, and sapwood is grayish brown or light yellow brown. Huang Huali is mainly divided into Huang Huali and Huang Huali. Huang Huali is almost extinct, so the price is several times that of Huang.
Red sandalwood: China has considered red sandalwood as a precious wood since ancient times. Because it is too expensive, there are not many rosewood objects left. If it is a large-sized furniture, because the materials are scarce, it will be kept less. Red sandalwood is hard and heavy in all kinds of hardwoods, except purple and black, some are as black as paint, and the texture is almost invisible. Although rosewood is not as gorgeous as Huang Huali, it is quiet and ancient, which is unmatched by any wood. Among all kinds of hardwoods, rosewood is delicate in texture, heavy in weight and inconspicuous in grain.
When rosewood is put into liquor, it will immediately decompose into pink, and form a sticky gel with liquor, which can be connected into lines after pouring out. This is an effective way to identify rosewood. Red sandalwood is mainly produced in India, but also in Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in China.
Under the same quality, Huang Huali will be more expensive than rosewood. But Huang Huali and Rosewood have their own advantages. The color of rosewood is low-key, light, fragrant, long and restrained, and the texture of rosewood is strange, full of tension and natural. The Buddha's ritual is more solemn with rosewood, and more pleasing with Huang Huali's floral ornaments. Huang Huali and rosewood have their own merits, and we can't say which is good or bad.
Which is better, lobular rosewood and yellow gorgeous?
1, lobular rosewood and Huang Huali In terms of value, although compared with lobular rosewood, which has the reputation of "king of wood", Huang Huali is a little precious, but both of them belong to rare redwoods, and both of them have their own advantages and are comparable. From the point of view of buying and wearing, rosewood is more elegant and sets off skin color. It is more suitable for women, and Huang Huali is more suitable for men, but it depends on personal preference.
2, lobular rosewood is the top grade of rosewood, its real scientific name is sandalwood rosewood, produced in India and Myanmar, which can be said to be the hardest wood, so it has the reputation of "king's wood", and the Qing Dynasty is the peak of its wide use. Since ancient times, rosewood has been said to be "an inch of sandalwood and an inch of gold". This is not only because its growth is very slow, but also because its actual utilization rate is only 30%, and only a little heartwood can be used. Therefore, the price of finished products is relatively high, and it has become the first choice material for qing-style furniture because of its elegant characteristics.
Huanghuali, also known as Dalbergia odorifera, is the best one produced in Hainan. It is one of the four famous trees in ancient China. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, it was highly regarded as court furniture material, and now it is a national second-class protected plant. No matter from the angle of artistic aesthetics or artificial science, Huanghua Lido is a treasure in the world furniture art.
Huang Huali wood is the main material of hardwood furniture in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, second only to rosewood. But after a lot of excavation, it has become very rare now, so the price is very expensive, and it has become the first choice of Ming-style furniture, which has the characteristics of simplicity.
