Personally, I think it's ok to play with a millstone, because it's generally decent in appearance and comfortable to look at, but high-end players can really pursue the grinding of old trees. After a few years, you will feel sincerely about the color, except for your price, which is good, but it's worth it.

(A), the historical heritage of the millstone

According to legend, Lord Qianlong, alas, is Lord Qianlong again. It is said that in his old man's walnut collection, there are the most millstones, but it was not called millstones at that time, and it has a very appropriate and accurate name-boring pointed lion head. By way of digression, many people think that a lion's head with a dull tip is a lion's head with a dull tip.

Literally, you can say that, but the version I heard said otherwise. Moreover, Baidu Encyclopedia has a very accurate description of the lion's head with a stuffy tip: "The shape is short, the side is thick and wide, the grain is deep, and the thickness of the grain changes a lot, with a large bottom and a flat bottom. The lines at the bottom are clear and deep, and the big ribs are obvious.

The belly is big, and it looks dull and sharp. The size of the belly is bigger than the side, and the side is bigger than the height. The height of its tip is lower than the sides, forming a "mountain" with a low middle and high sides. "-the above quoted Baidu Encyclopedia. I don't think it's necessary to talk again. This is the best proof.

Excuse me, this should be the millstone, right?

(B), the status quo of the millstone lion head

In other words, the name of the stuffy pointed lion head is not bad, but later generations gave it a more vivid name-millstone. I don't know who started it, but the level of naming is really good, which is higher than that of White Lion, 137 and Knife. The only remaining old tree among the existing varieties is still in the variety. It really exists, and its old man is in Miaofeng Mountain Scenic Area, Mentougou District, Beijing.

Now Laishui has been grafted in a large area, and the fruit setting rate and appearance are very considerable. After grafting, the texture of the millstone is deeper than that of the old tree, and the rest of the appearance has not changed much, but the cortex is deviated and the color is dull, like pork that has been put in the refrigerator for a long time, but it does not affect the play of the millstone and can become popular.

(3) About "positive grinding"

Most millstones are crooked, that is, the walnut tip at the top is either facing left or right, just like a man's, so it is extremely rare to grind them, especially if they are large in size and good in appearance. The average size of this variety is 40, and this size is already qualified. The price of being ground, especially old trees, especially large-size fine products, is estimated that many novices are dizzy, so I won't say much, and I know everything.
