One day, I stopped in front of the rounded corner cabinet of this yellow pear, and I never thought of writing anything to praise it, nor did I think of using it to trigger me. I just stopped by by chance. Thoughts were still on the sadness of the death of the tragic character I had just read, and I was dazed about the meaning of life.

I was sighing quietly, my mind was dark, I suddenly looked up, and saw the light sprinkled obliquely on the cabinet of this huanghuali panel from top to bottom, and I thought for a moment, why do people like huanghuali so much?

With a fleeting but caught tail of self-questioning, I began to seriously examine this bright, beautiful and smooth "face" from time to time.

As the hours go by, I seem to see the precipitation of the rings of the year, the regret and remembrance of time.

When the time came, my eyes were almost fixed on the upper side to look closely, the pores and lines were like the fierce winter wind, the natural strokes, the orderly in the chaos, and the whole outline of life was laid out like clouds and flowing water.

At its "grimace", there is a story of growth, and each circle is a trace of time.

I not only sighed: "It's been hundreds of years, how can it be so clean..."

In the Zhou Li Dongguan Kao Gong Ji, "The bow man is a bow, and the six materials must be taken at the time" method is said, "Everything that is related, wants to be black and the yang sound, the red black is the hometown, and the yang sound is far away." It means: "To choose a wooden trunk for a bow and arrow, you must knock out the wood with a clear sound in red and black, and the wood in red and black is tough in color, and the wood in a clear sound is smooth." ”

Red black probably refers to garnet, rosewood and the like, we leave it alone.

"Yangmu Qingyang", I think it can be just right to describe the huanghuali, but even so, but I dare not start to knock. Standing in front of us is a tree planted in an unknown year, nor when it was planted, let alone the hand of whom, and I do not know how many times of ups and downs have passed to this point, how many karmic reincarnations have been fortunate to meet, know, and have friendship here. How can it be abruptly knocked, not to mention knocking, even if it is lightly touched, it is afraid of disrupting the rhythm of its resting breathing. How can I know when and what mood I have in the flesh of a mortal body? Therefore, he was only discouraged, and his eyes were in awe.

Finally I found out that the yellow pear was not as crisp as the mahogany red, and not as hot as the rosewood red. It was as if the woman was "beautiful without knowing it." ”

The reddish brown of the yellow pear is just the right treatment, the red is not flamboyant, the red is low-key but not introverted, not red and black, and not red.

Slightly shallow with a golden nobility, a little deeper and a brown orange cuteness.

The nodule resembles an eye like an ear, and can be heard and seen. The pores are a bit wired and can be stopped.

It is worthy of the material used by the Ming Dynasty royal court!

I stopped in front of him for a long time, my eyes were caught, and my heart was clenched, as if there were ten thousand stories he wanted to share with me, to recognize me as a confidant, and to make me unwilling to leave.

Buddha's temple is a bowl of water, 108,000 worms. In that era when there was no science and no microscope, the Buddha could perceive the microscopic world with the naked eye, on a panel of yellow pears, or there were billions of immortal cells, and it was not known..."
