Pinggu Si Zulou

Lion's head walnut of - "Pinggu Si Zulou" walnut

Obviously, this is a walnut variety named after a place.

But the specific name of the place is wrong,,just close to the four-seat building, and not again four-seat building. But it has been agreed.

Familiar people see this variety, they call him "four buildings" walnut.

The origin of the name is the precipitation of culture, the error is also wrong.

South General Stone

Lion's head walnut of the - "South General Stone" walnut

South General Stone lion's head with its appearance of solid full, grain rough and regular, hard and delicate wood and respected by the majority of players, especially the In recent years, due to the production of less, especially the outstanding character is more rare, so the price all the way up, even

To the phenomenon of copying. It can be said that in the market furnace under the baking, South General stone lion head has reached the degree of hot, with the recent popular saying is: handsome, cool, super nuclear life, dream South General stone.

At present, the characterization of the Nanjung stone lion head is roughly divided into two schools: one school is to advocate its origin and get the name, referred to as the name school; the other school is to advocate its shape and get the name, referred to as the shape school. Then these two schools in the end which school is correct? This is also from the South will be the origin of the stone lion head said.

"South will stone lion's head" belongs to the cultural lion's head walnut class, is a branch of the many varieties of lion's head, with no record of the legend to prove that the end of the Qing Dynasty called the "Ma Dun", the Republic of China was called "Ma Ke", because of its scarcity of production. ", because of its scarce production, play recognized is not strong, so the early years is not mainstream high-grade varieties, belong to the second-rate stuff. Recently, in hebei south will stone village found to produce this variety of walnut, so we will default him called south will stone lion head. And because of its hard texture, sizing, hanging porcelain after playing the sound crisp, as if two stones collide with each other sound, so the name of the South will spread. So this has become the main basis of the toponymic school!

After the seller's continuous efforts to find and develop, Beijing around Hebei other places such as deer and other places also found this elephant walnut, and because of the profit motive, many rural areas also grafted or planted this variety of walnut trees. So now look, not only the village of the South Stone produced this variety of walnuts. Since the place of origin is no longer only Namjungshi village, and is not fixed, then there is only one shape that is recognized as the closest to the standard of judging in the heart as the standard of the Namjungshi lion's head, which becomes the main basis of the shape school. Most walnuts are also based on the shape to determine the variety!
