Both are similar, there is not much difference in their physical properties! In the end, it mainly depends on whether you prefer lychee or longan.
In fact, I personally think that Dongzhenggen's carved golden nanmu is very good, because:
First, it is also a good medicine for dispelling diseases and can be combined with other traditional Chinese medicines. , or used alone as an independent medicinal material, it can generally treat the following diseases: cholera, stomach problems, pus discharge from the ears (otitis media), athlete's foot, cholera tendon syndrome and other diseases.
Second, Nanxiang Shouren. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine: aromatic substances can awaken the spleen and resolve dampness, open up the mind and refresh the brain, and promote clearness and resolve turbidity. If you have been living in an elegant room decorated with nanmu for a long time, accompanied by fragrant nanmu furniture, the subtle fragrance emitted by the golden nanmu can play a role in aromatic dampness, refreshing the spleen and removing turbidity.
Third, it ranks first among the four famous trees in my country: nan, catalpa, catalpa and camphor, and is known as China's "national tree". Phoebe has a refreshing fragrance and is a tall tree with a height of more than ten feet and a diameter at breast height of 1 meter. It is a neutral to negative tree species with deep roots, long life and slow growth rate. Nanmu wood is warm and moist, does not warp or crack, has moderate hardness and excellent toughness, so it can be used in many ways. In ancient times, nanmu was used to build state implements and magnificent buildings. It was a veritable "pillar of the country", so it was called "emperor wood".
Fourth, the play of literati: In feudal society, it could only be a luxury product for the royal family and princes and nobles. Ordinary literati and officials’ preference for nanmu turned to making small bedroom furniture and elegant playthings in the study.
