The general price of tiger heads is not very high (the ones with good matching, large size and straight are still expensive). Why should we talk about the identification of tiger heads? He Yun Qingfeng often visited the wenwan market, and found that when many nuclear merchants sold wenwan walnuts, it was not clear whether the varieties of wenwan walnuts belonged to the tiger head or the lion head. Even some nuclear merchants put the processed walnuts together and put up a brand "Wenwan Walnut Lion Head Treatment". The price target was really not high. After reading it, He Yun Qingfeng found that there were either small lion heads with defective quality or relatively large and crooked tiger heads, and many of them were playing for the first time. I picked a pair of tiger heads with relatively good appearance, and felt that I bought a pair of lion heads and left them in a playful way. At the same time, I felt sorry for the players, and I hated this kind of nuclear merchants. He Yun Qingfeng believed that regardless of the price of walnuts, buyers had the right to know the real variety of walnuts and where their money was expensive and cheap. What's more, the novice player asked the nuclear dealer what kind it was, and the nuclear dealer disdained to say, "They are all lion heads, choose for yourself." Or simply holding a tiger's head and saying it is a lion's head, or holding a tiger's head (tigon) squashed with a splint and saying it is a lion's head, so as to confuse beginners. Many beginners don't have time to go to the wenwan market to actually watch and learn the varieties of walnuts. In order to prevent players from falling for it (called "taking medicine" in the jargon), Heyun Qingfeng will explain the difference between the tiger's head and the tiger's head in detail for beginners, so as to do a little bit for them. (The next article, Weibo, will give you a list of "jargon" for playing walnuts. )

1. Distinguish from the appearance of the front elevation

From the front elevation, the shape of a tiger's head without a splint is generally an upright oval, while the lion's head is generally a right circle or a flat oval, which is the positive difference between the lion's head and the tiger's head, which is analogized to stone carving mentioned in an article on the cool breeze.

Second, distinguish from the texture

Tiger heads are generally seen in the market, mostly wheat-ear tiger heads, and Panlong tiger heads are also available. No matter what kind of tiger heads, the edges of walnuts are wider and thicker, and the texture of wheat-ear tiger heads is like the shape of wheat ears, which is separated from the main bars with many small protrusions. The main bars are prominent and the protrusions are attached to the main bars. The whole texture of tiger heads looks full and round. Its texture is like this feeling. I like the texture of the tiger's head very much. Next, I will find more tiger's heads for everyone to enjoy and exchange.

Third, distinguish from the tips of walnuts

Generally, the tips of tiger heads do not have many fine textures, but are full and smooth, and the tips will not be dull and concave inward. Generally, tiger heads are high piles, so their tips will be more obvious. This point is mainly to tell the players who are new to playing, if it is found that the top is textured, small or stuffy, it is mostly trimmed, not how bad it is, but usually the old players will not choose to trim the top when they buy new walnuts, because there are two ways for merchants to trim the top, one is better, that is, the top is damaged, and for the sake of the beauty of walnuts, After all, it's a beautiful view, and the other is a quality problem, that is, when the walnut leaves the tree, it is yellow-edged and yellow-edged. No matter how the player plays with it, its color difference will exist, and obviously, the formation reasons and identification methods of yellow-edged and yellow-edged walnuts will be introduced in detail in the following article. This kind of trimmed tip is generally larger, and the big walnut tip has become a small tip, or even no tip. The top of this walnut has been destroyed in a large area, and it is easy to have obvious color difference when it is finished, and its disk play will not have a good prospect. Therefore, it is recommended that players who don't understand it should not start easily.

Fourth, distinguish from the bottom of walnut

The bottom of tiger head is different from lion head, chicken heart and official hat, because its texture and edges are relatively full, and the texture is extended to the bottom, forming relatively full ribs leading to the umbilicus, and the grooves between ribs are obvious, showing a relatively scattered chrysanthemum shape, not a big chrysanthemum shape with dense textures like four buildings and Nanjiang stone. Another notable feature is that the umbilical cord of the tiger's head is smaller, but it is also larger than the umbilical cord of the heart-shaped walnut, and it will not be a big diamond, let alone a long strip. The bottom of a tiger's head is generally convex, and the flat bottom of a natural pile is rare, so it will definitely not be concave.

V. Distinguishing between Spliced Tiger Head and Lion Head

Spliced Tiger Head is nicknamed "tigon" by merchants, and its price is often slightly higher than that of non-splinted tiger head. The reason why we want to talk about Spliced Tiger Head is to let the initial players distinguish the difference between tigon and Lion Head, so as to prevent unscrupulous merchants from buying a tiger head at the price of lion head. Tigon, no matter how nice it is, is also a variety of tiger heads. Its characteristics have the characteristics described in 2, 3 and 4 above, but after being put on the splint, the originally oval tiger head has become a round shape like a lion's head, and even a big flat bottom and a concave bottom have appeared. This is based on the shape of the splint.
