One of the representatives of Chinese food culture: mahogany chopsticks

Speaking of mahogany, the first impression that may be given to people in various furniture. Because of its high value and stable wood properties, mahogany is made into furniture, which has received a warm response from the market. Even if there are some small pieces of cultural relics, it is still full of classical charm. And mahogany gives the impression that the exclusive utensils of high-end literati seem to be ungrounded. In fact, it is mainly due to the scarcity of materials, especially materials such as purple-red and yellow have been used by emperors and nobles since ancient times.

In fact, things depend on people's use. The mahogany material can also be grounded. There is an old saying: people take food as the sky. Since ancient times, people have always given food as the highest priority. They will pursue their spirits only if they eat and drink. The mahogany is wood, which is an excellent material for chopsticks. Chopsticks are the most commonly used diet tools in the world. They are the symbolic representation of Chinese classical diet culture. Chinese people have used chopsticks for at least 3000 years. Today, take a look at the mahogany that can be used as chopsticks.

Purple sandalwood can be said to be the densest material in mahogany, which also results in a case of the same volume, which is heavier than other mahogany materials. Large furniture may be heavier, but in the case of chopsticks The wood is always wood, which is not comparable to the weight of pure metal chopsticks, coupled with the stability of purple sandalwood, which is not easy to be moth-eaten, so making chopsticks is an excellent existence, and the weight is particularly suitable. The first half is made of solid sterling silver. Silver tableware has always been commonly used by wealthy people, but with the change of time, it has also entered the ordinary people and millions of households, and it is no longer synonymous with the ancient emperor and aristocracy tableware.

In addition to purple sandalwood, for example, the red sandalwood has a medicinal value record in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica. Material, so these woods can be used directly as raw materials for chopsticks.

Therefore, mahogany is not necessarily those crafts, or large furniture, mahogany chopsticks are also very grounded, and it will not be too expensive for people to use. Even Huanghuali chopsticks, the price will not be overstated. So in the future, don't think that mahogany is exclusively for the rich. As long as you pay attention to observation, there will be surprises everywhere.
