Because the founder's name (Zhu Wenyuan), so the name of the walnut for the Wenyuan walnut, Wenyuan walnut all for the wild gene unchanged playing walnut, so Wenyuan walnut can play a very good sense of jade, like jade like onyx, it is because most of the walnuts on the walnut market now for the wild gene changed walnuts, so the Wenyuan walnut is more stand out, the Wenyuan walnut its texture with the moistening is very strong, the density of the walnut itself is even stronger. The density of the walnut itself is hard. So on hand to play more good pulp and hanging porcelain. Wenyuan walnut price is fair, in the same quality, the price is never higher than the market, and the quality is absolutely better than the market, to ensure that each pair of Wenyuan walnuts can play so red and glossy, are nuclear friends to play and collect the top

Wenyuan walnut has a lot of dry walnuts can be immersed in the bottom of the water, which explains the density of its own is very high, so each pair of walnuts through the Play, can jade, because itself are wild Wenyuan walnut, in addition to the mountain spring water, so the walnut is more watery, radiant.

Buy the essentials of playing walnuts

Recently, there are several walnut players, have asked me the same question, why buy walnuts to play out, some players in two years on the purchase of a dozen or so pairs of walnuts, but there is no one pair can play out, true to these questions I did answer one by one.

In fact, the reason is not complicated, I now tell the majority of these experiences to play enthusiasts.

The main thing is that the origin of the walnuts to determine whether or not you can play out, such as Pinggu District, especially the Huang Songyu Wenyuan walnuts, which varieties can be played out

If grafted with foreign varieties of the Huang Songyu Then the output of the walnuts and the same as in the field to play not come out, if grafted to the field of the walnuts of the Huang Songyu , then the quality of walnuts and the walnut of the Huang Songyu almost almost the same, these are through the experience of the verification of experience, but also through the Huang Songyu Walnut, which is not the same as in the field. These are verified through the grafting experience. That is to say, to buy walnuts can play out of the origin is very important, can not just look at the appearance of the type is good on the high price, play does not come out of the walnuts to play how long is also walnut, only to play out of the walnuts is the thing to be called a piece of art, to have a collection of value, only not to regret it, if the playmates still do not understand some of the relevant issues, you can contact me, I will patiently answer for a good friend

China is one of the world's walnut origin center, Beijing's walnut cultivation also has a long history, "Longqing State Journal" that Yanqing County Journal listed walnut, indicating that the walnut has become a cultivated species in Beijing has a history of more than 800 years. Cultivation of walnuts in Beijing has a wide range of distribution, the far suburbs and counties are planted, the main producing areas are Mentougou and Pinggu, and now the highest yield is Pinggu. The walnut varieties in Beijing can be broadly categorized into walnut, walnut tulip and hemp walnut: walnut refers to the domestic walnut, i.e., the edible walnut; walnut tulip refers to the wild walnut; and hemp walnut is a natural hybrid between the domestic walnut and the walnut tulip, which was discovered by China's botanical classifier Hu Tianchu (HU) in 1930 in the halfway ditch of the Xiakou Village in Changping and was named after H. H. Hu (HWH), who was the first person in China to discover this species in China. The walnut is a natural hybrid of the domestic walnut and the walnut tulip, which was discovered in 1930 by a Chinese plant taxonomist, Hu Tianchun, in Halfway Gully, Xiakou Village, Changping. In addition, there are a number of other varieties of walnuts that are available in China, such as the Hemp Walnut, which has been used for many years by the Chinese government, the Chinese government, and the Chinese government.

Growth

September, it is the walnut harvest season, in the drive to Pinggu Huangsongyu Township, you can see the roadside many stalls have been put out of the green walnut. Pinggu is the area with the highest walnut production in Beijing and mainly grows edible walnuts, while Huangsongyu Township is famous for growing hemp walnuts. Huang Songyu township government propaganda department minister Wei Sheng said now the township's total population of 5,810 people,*** have 6,000 hemp walnut trees, can be said to be per capita a rich tree.

Hickory

Widely distributed, but the shape is not varieties

According to the Beijing Municipal Fruit Tree Society Chairman Flash Chonghui introduced, soil, water quality, climate, light is to affect the growth of walnuts in several aspects. Walnut requires a deep layer of soil, loamy soil is more suitable, it is not much requirement for the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, wider adaptability, but the soil can not be too sandy. The most important thing for fruit trees is light, the mountains are full of light, the wind and sunny environment is most conducive to the growth of walnut trees, so the mountains around Beijing are cultivated walnut.

Overall, the walnut species in Beijing is relatively mixed, the previous walnut trees are natural hybridization, the output of a variety of fruits, the shape of the variety. China was the world's largest exporter of walnuts, but because of the lack of variety, the international market has since been taken over by the United States, whose Diamond brand walnut varieties are separate.

But some areas of Beijing's home walnut is still very famous, such as Huairou's Huamu production area, Mentougou's Lingshui Village, Miyun's Grave Village and so on, these areas of the cotton kernel walnut high oil content, easy to peel. Now Beijing has also cultivated some varieties by means of seed introduction and grafting, with early fruiting, thin shells and relatively high kernel yield, such as Thin Shell Fragrance.

Playing walnuts

Hemp walnut market is back on fire

Walnuts, in addition to their high food value, can also be played. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is a saying in the capital: "Beilei hands have three treasures, trigger finger walnut cage bird." There is also a ballad that says: "walnuts do not leave the hand, can live eighty-nine. More than the Qianlong master, the king of hell called not go." It is said that Emperor Qianlong liked to play with walnuts, Puyi said in "my first half of life" that he had seen the walnuts Qianlong played in the Treasury behind the Palace of Yangxin. Now the Palace Museum is also preserved in a dozen pairs of walnuts in the rubbing hand in a rosewood box, box labeled "a Beilei Gongjin" "a Prince ready" words.

"Playing walnut is mainly hemp walnut, walnut rowan and iron walnut. Their surface texture undulation, thick skin, inner fold wall developed, not many kernels, but the grease is large. After people play will become reddish, jade texture, after a few years or decades of play it will become antique, sound like bone like teeth." Playing walnuts in Beijing for more than ten years, known as "walnut Lu" Lu Xiaorong said, "the old Beijing used to play walnuts are taught orally, I used to go to many libraries to check the ancient materials, did not find a formal book records. Playing with walnuts should be prevalent in the Qing Dynasty. In the past, 'literati play walnut, martial arts play iron ball', 'literati play walnut' this title may be so come."

But after the founding of New China, the walnuts disappeared into obscurity.

But after the founding of New China, walnuts disappeared. flash Chonghui remembered, "after the liberation, play walnuts are regarded as capitalist contraptions, no one to play. 1958 to engage in the people's commune, people feel that the hemp walnut can not be eaten, the hemp walnut tree cut down as firewood, which led to the present Beijing hemp walnut tree is not a small number of trees, but the people in the best possible way to save."

"After the reform and opening up, the play walnut is gradually recognized, about the 1990s, Beijing's play walnut market began to red-hot." It was then that Lu Xiaorong became obsessed with playing with walnuts.

Playing

Picking walnuts

Huangsongyu produces coiled-dragon lion's heads

Zhu Wenyuan, 51, can be considered a typical representative of Huangsongyu village's planting of walnuts, and now has a 1,000-acre mountain farm with nearly 1,000 walnut trees. Zhu Wenyuan said that the walnuts supplied to Emperor Qianlong in the past came from Pinggu. In the past, the village people also play walnut, some people dry tobacco bag are decorated with a walnut. There is also a history of his planting of hemp walnuts.

In 1999, Zhu Wenyuan, a village cadre, took the lead in leasing the 1,000 acres of barren mountains, and at the beginning he only planted 1,000 persimmon trees in the mountains. Once he helped others to sell walnuts, the result of two cars home walnuts only sold more than 500 yuan, while one person sold half a bag of hemp walnuts earned more than a thousand dollars, so the next year he also began to cultivate hemp walnut trees. Can't ask the right experts, Zhu Wenyuan on their own fumble to find from the nearby mountains of hemp walnut varieties, in their own mountain farms in the hemp walnut tree grafting. Finally in 2002, the grafted jatropha trees began to bear fruit. Now he goes around the market every year and grafts the varieties that are welcome.

"When I first started selling walnuts I didn't know too much about play walnuts." Zhu Wenyuan said, "In '03, someone came to me and bought a bunch of walnuts at ten or twenty dollars a piece. The next year that person came again, he picked around in a pile of walnuts, said how one kind is missing. I realized that what he wanted was the one that was missing - the lion's head with the coiled dragon pattern. Later I realized that the coiled dragon lion head I have here is different from those elsewhere and very precious."

When it comes to the management of the hemp walnut tree, Zhu Wenyuan said, "I only care about grafting, and sometimes the branches are too dense and will be thinned down. I never watered or fertilized. Some trees grow in the cracks of the rocks, and I don't care about them, the growth of walnut trees is natural. The small environment here is very favorable, the output of hemp walnut leather quality is good, rubbing a few minutes to see the changes, and soon you can play with the jade-like feeling."

Zhu Wenyuan said a hemp walnut tree can usually bear more than 100 fruits, with the most bearing more than 500. After picking the walnuts, he would use a knife to peel off the green skin, and then use a wire brush and a plastic brush to scrub it clean, and finally put it in a cool place in the house to dry, and then after seven to 10 days, it could be paired, and then sealed into a plastic bag after pairing.

Rubbing walnuts

Fruit in the palm of the fingers into a work of art

Playing with walnuts can be massaged at different points of the hand, with health effects. And watching walnuts gradually turn red and bright is also a great pleasure. Lu Xiaorong explained that when playing with walnuts, walnuts will absorb the sweat secreted by the human body, human sweat contains many ingredients, such as trace amounts of urea, salt, water, etc., coupled with the friction of the hand, heat, walnuts will undergo subtle changes, gradually become red and smooth.

Summer, especially the three volts is the best time for walnuts to become red. Summer weather is hot and humidity, the hands of more sweat, will be dipped into the walnut, and walnuts will also be high temperature and secretion of oil, outward penetration, this "external invasion of the internal attack" on the walnut to make a relatively large change. People say that playing walnuts "winter shiny, summer red" is the reason. Generally speaking, walnuts after three winters and two summers will become red and shiny. Of course, those walnuts are not away from the hand, hand sweat secretion of the hands of the walnut in the hands of more people will be red faster.

Now some people play walnuts are difficult to become red and bright, there are two possible reasons --- first, buy walnuts are not mature. Generally speaking, walnuts should be picked before and after the white dew, walnuts picked before the month is when it grows grease. But now there are walnuts picked a month before the white dew to sell, not only light weight, walnuts inside the oil is also less, so play not red, some of the more rubbed the more black.

Secondly: Secondly, some people are eager to make walnuts red, rub oil or use chemicals to walnuts. In fact, walnuts and people like it has its "sweat glands", to walnuts after rubbing oil, it is difficult to secrete the oil. "We play walnuts should be to enjoy the walnut from the fruit into a work of art process, cultivate the body and temperament, temperament, and should not be in a hurry."

In fact, the home walnut can also become red, but the effect of red is very bad, and the home walnut surface is not much undulation, can not achieve the effective massage effect, its skin is thin, the inner kernel is more, a long time the inner kernel is dry, make people feel very "empty", fall on the ground easily broken, so the home walnut play not play the kind of effect of the walnut of literature.

Beijing, China

Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture and Greening Industry Development Director Fu Zhanfang said that in the past, the people feel that the hemp walnut kernel is not much, the trees are cut down and planted home walnut trees. Over the years, the market for hemp walnuts gradually become larger, many farmers began to plant hemp walnuts on their own initiative. Although there is no large-scale development of the hemp walnut planting industry in Beijing, and the government has no relevant planning, but he believes that the market for hemp walnuts should become bigger and bigger.
