Produced in Hugezhuang Village, Laishui County, Hebei Province. Wenwan Walnut 3. The reason why it is called White Lion is because when the local walnut farmers picked the walnuts, they peeled away the green skin and saw that the skin of the walnuts was white. They only knew that the variety was obviously lion head. In order to distinguish it, the special Named "White Lion Head". 4.

Lion Head Walnut - "Pinggu Four Buildings" Walnut Obviously, this is a walnut variety named after a place. But the specific place name is wrong, it's just close to the four buildings, not the other four buildings. But it has been agreed upon. When people familiar with it see this variety, they call it "Four Buildings" walnut. The origin of the name is the accumulation of culture, and mistakes are mistakes. Characteristics of walnuts (taking the top quality as an example): 1. Short pile 2. Thick edges 3. Square shape 4. The texture is very good, really very good 5. Extra large flat base, with obvious radiation from the bottom. Wenwan walnuts 6. The tips are very small, so small that the new walnuts will break as soon as you pick them up. The overall feeling is very domineering, without losing Zhou Zheng (Lao Shunan will be more domineering, Zhou Zheng is too difficult). The output is very, very low, so low that there are only a few pairs. Among the lion head walnuts - "Ma Laosi" walnut "Ma Laosi" is naturally a walnut variety named after people. Players in Beijing basically call it lion head walnut, and some people in Tianjin call it tiger head. The place of origin is Jixian County, Tianjin (some people say it is Jixian County, Hebei Province, due to lack of geographical knowledge). It is a wild original tree. It is a very, very large walnut tree now. The tree has been transplanted. The owner of the tree is naturally named Ma. Characteristics of walnuts: 1. Zhou Zheng! 2. Wide and thick sides 3. Small tip, almost flat top (in recent years, especially in 2007, yellow tips have become more and more common, probably the result of artificial fertilization) 4.

Lion's Head Walnut - "Nanjiang Stone" Walnut Nanjiang Stone Lion's Head is highly praised by players for its solid and plump appearance, rough and regular texture, and hard and delicate wood. Especially in recent years, due to the low output, especially It is even more rare to have outstanding quality, so the price has been soaring, and even walnuts have been copied. It can be said that under the baking furnace of the market, the Nanjiang Stone Lion Head has reached a very hot level. To use the recently popular saying, it is: stunningly handsome, cool, super nuclear, and the dream Nanjiang Stone. At present, there are generally two schools of thought regarding the characterization of Nanjiang stone lion heads: one school advocates that it is named after its place of origin, which is referred to as the place-name school; the other school advocates that it is named after its shape, which is referred to as the shape school. So which of these two schools is correct? This starts with the origin of the Nanjiang stone lion head. "Nanjiang Stone Lion's Head" belongs to the Wenwan Lion's Head walnut category and is a branch of many varieties of Lion's Head. It has no recorded legends and research. It was called "Madun" in the late Qing Dynasty and was renamed "Make" in the Republic of China because of its rare production. , cultural toys are not well recognized, so in the early years they were not mainstream high-end varieties and were second-rate toys. Recently, this variety of walnuts was discovered in Nanjiang Stone Village, Hebei Province, so everyone assumed it was called Nanjiang Stone Lion Head. And because of its hard texture, after sizing and hanging porcelain, it makes a crisp sound when played, like the sound of two pebbles colliding with each other, so the name of Nanjiang Stone spread. Therefore, this has become the main basis for the place-name faction! After sellers’ continuous efforts to search and develop, walnuts of this variety have also been found in other places in Hebei around Beijing, such as Zhulu. Driven by profit, many rural areas have also grafted or planted walnut trees of this variety. So now it seems that it is not just Nanjiangshi Village that produces this variety of walnuts. Since the place of origin is no longer just Nanjang Stone Village and is not fixed, there is only one shape that is recognized by everyone as the closest to the psychological judgment standard as the taste standard of Nanjang Stone Lion Head. This becomes the main basis of the Shape School. Most Wenwan walnut counting also determines the variety based on its shape! Lion Head Walnut - "Knife" Walnut This walnut is produced in Hebei Province. Its characteristics are: short pile, very full belly, slightly square shape, wide and thin sides, deep and varied grains, and few squares.
Some people call it a "horseshoe" lion head, and tree farmers call it a "knife." Because there are few circumferences and wide and thin sides, after being repaired and played with by a good craftsman, it can become a very good lion head walnut. Introduction to Lion's Head Walnuts - Mentougou's blunt-pointed Lion's Head (Apple Orchard) is produced in the mountainous area west of Beijing, in Wangping Village, Mentougou District. Features: 1. Short, 2. Round (full), 3. The skin is super hard, the sound is super crisp, and the color is Quickly 4. The texture is very good, even the top and tip of the belly have texture. This part of other walnuts has the least texture. 5. The shape of the valve (navel) is similar to the bottom of the northwest lantern walnut. 6. Green fruits have a characteristic - "thin skin and big filling": looking at how big the green fruits are, if you open the skin, the walnuts are barely much smaller. The classic lion head belongs to the old variety. Because it is very full and round, with circles in the square and squares in the circles, it looks like a walnut apple. It is called "Apple Round". The tree is very old. It is said to be 800 years old (no verification). , so a few years before the tree died, there were very few fruits. Every walnut almost had insect holes. What I saw, after being drained, almost all were below 38. Now, the tree is indeed dead, and the branches have been taken away and grafted, and the fruits have been produced, but they have all turned into tall and pointed things. The Lion's Head Walnut - Old Lion's Head Walnut emphasizes that it is an "old" Lion's Head" walnut, not the so-called "old style" or "old type" Lion's Head. Origin: Mountainous area around Beijing, specific tree, unknown, yield, I haven’t seen it in recent years. Characteristics: 1. Short 2. Round (full) 3. Flat top, dull point 4. Deep and exquisite texture. Even after playing with it for decades, the deep and exquisite texture cannot be hidden. 5. Zhou Zheng. 6. The base is grand 7. Color 8. Patching 9. Very few in quantity Just a few points. (The top one of the following pictures is a gentleman's hat, and the bottom one is an official hat.) 1. Base: From the base, it looks almost the same. The main difference is that the big edge extends from the top to the "ear" of the base (that is, the edge extends). A certain curvature is formed at the navel of the walnut, commonly known as "ear"). Generally speaking, the "ears" of Gongzi hat walnuts are much larger than those of Guanma walnuts, and the curvature is also obviously larger. The walnuts of Gongzi hats look more like concave ones. 2. The shape of the sides of walnut hats: The sides of walnuts on Gongzi hats are generally larger and thinner. There are only some differences in the shape of the sides of Guanmao walnuts. The sides of Guanmao walnuts are thinner and narrower when viewed from the front. The downward slope from the pointed part is larger and the downward trend is more obvious; Viewed from the front, it is "fat and wide", with an obvious trend of horizontal development. It is relatively round, full, and has a larger curvature. The sides are obviously wider than ordinary walnuts. 3. The ratio of sides to height: the side width of Guanmao walnuts is wider than the height. Small, while the Gongzi hat is just the opposite - the side width is generally larger than the height, which is commonly called a short pile. Among the hat walnuts, the Gongzi hat is generally a short pile. In addition, the Gongzi hat variety is different from other hats. The yield of other varieties of walnuts is lower, the production areas are few, and the price is not low. In terms of shape, the shape of Gongzimao walnuts is more beautiful. Due to the small output and few production areas, some people are now trying to cultivate this variety by grafting or other methods. , but the appearance of the finished product is far less good than that of the wild ones. The hat walnuts you see on the market generally belong to the official hat type. Edit this paragraph Chicken Heart Wenwan Walnut Chicken Heart is an important variety of Wenwan walnuts. It is one of the four major walnuts and is also a very common variety. It is so named because it looks like a chicken's heart. It is common in the suburbs of Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi and other places. There are all. The appearance is slightly different. There are several varieties of chicken hearts. Many people are accustomed to calling low pile chicken hearts, but I personally think it is a type of low pile chicken hearts because there are many grafted chicken hearts recently. Many of the old varieties are no longer seen. Nowadays, the common ones are ordinary chicken hearts, peach hearts, and duck-bill chicken hearts. The chicken hearts are more common and have large and sparse textures. Some places also produce chicken hearts with secret patterns, but they are rare. The bottom is relatively large and flat.
