Many people often ask: what does it mean to have a scorpion's yellow goods and black goods (because the yellow goods and black goods are not mentioned in the book), and what is the difference between them? What is the difference in terms of price, efficacy and farming? Today, I will talk to you in detail about the yellow and black goods of scorpions.
First of all, the yellow goods and black goods belong to the East Asian pincer scorpion, and there is no such statement as yellow goods and black goods in all written materials, and the yellow goods and black goods are only a conventional statement when the scorpions are traded. That is to say, in all the information in the book, it is impossible to consult the specific black goods and yellow goods, and only when the folk scorpion trades, the yellow goods and black goods will be distinguished. So what is the difference between yellow goods and black goods?
First, the color of yellow goods and black goods is different. The so-called "black goods", as the name suggests, the scorpion is black, the black mentioned here mainly refers to the back color of the scorpion (not the kind of scorpion that is shiny and black, the kind of scorpion that is rainy scorpion or the imperial scorpion, which belongs to the pet scorpion, not in East Asia), if you say something specific, the black goods in addition to the back color is black, the last section of the tail of the black scorpion and the end of the tail needle of the scorpion are also black, that is to say, the back of the black goods, the last section of the tail and the end of the tail needle are black; the yellow goods, The color of the back is yellow, which is called "yellow goods" (of course, the last section of the tail and the end of the tail needle are also yellow).
To elaborate here, the color of the back of the scorpion is consistent with the color of the last section of the scorpion's tail and the end of the tail needle. That is to say, as long as the back color of the scorpion is black, then the last section of its tail and the end of the tail needle must also be black, there is no scorpion's back is black, the end of the tail needle and the last section of the tail are yellow, so we distinguish between yellow goods and black goods, as long as we look at the back color can be clearly distinguished, there is no need to look at the color of the tail needle and tail.
Second, the origin of yellow goods and black goods is different. Since both yellow and black goods belong to the East Asian pincer scorpion, why are there different colors? This is mainly due to the distribution of scorpions in different regions and has been formed for a long time in different climates and environments. So where are scorpions black goods? Where are scorpions yellow?
1. The main origin of black goods. The scorpions in the Mengshan Mountains, Taishan Region and southern Mountains of Jinan in Shandong are typical black goods, that is to say, in the scorpions throughout the country, black goods are mainly produced in Shandong, so when scorpions are traded, black goods are customarily called "Shandong goods". But it does not mean that the scorpions produced in Shandong are all black goods, such as scorpions in heze and other areas near Henan, which are obvious yellow goods.
Of course, black goods are also divided into regions, because the degree of black scorpion varies from place to place. Like the scorpion in Shandong, the scorpion in Yimeng Mountain is the darkest color, so the mengshan whole scorpion (called "big black back" in the local area) is also called "pure black goods" when the scorpion is traded; for example, the scorpions in Hebei are divided into two kinds, the scorpions in the Hebei Plain area are yellow, and the scorpions in the Taihang Mountains are black, so in order to distinguish in the local area, the black scorpion on the back is also called "black goods", but this "black goods" is obviously different from the "black goods" in Shandong, so in order to distinguish, they are also called "Shandong black goods" and "Hebei black goods" (that is to say, Shandong black goods are darker than the color of Hebei black goods).
2. The main production area of yellow goods. There are many origins of yellow goods, such as the Hebei Plain region, Henan, Shanxi, etc. mentioned above, but yellow goods are mainly represented by Shanxi goods, so when scorpions are traded, it is generally said that "Shanxi goods" refers to yellow goods represented by Shanxi scorpions. Similarly, the yellow goods in different regions are also distinguished, for example, the scorpions in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region are more yellow than the scorpions in Shanxi, Hebei and Henan, the whole body is yellow, and the size is obviously small, so it is also called "little yellow scorpion" (in our Shandong is also called "West Road Goods", probably because they are in the west of Shandong); like the scorpions in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, the scorpions are more yellow, and the yellow is white, so some people also call them "white goods".
Third, the prices of yellow goods and black goods are different. Judging from the price of scorpion trading, the blacker the scorpion, the more expensive it is, and the more yellow the cheaper. For example, Shandong black goods are more expensive than Hebei black goods, and black goods are more expensive than yellow goods; for example, Shanxi yellow goods are more expensive than small yellow scorpions in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia; relatively speaking, the "white goods" in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia have the lowest price.
