How to judge the quality of walnuts

Judging the quality of walnuts, we usually pay attention to the four words "quality, shape, color, and individual" to judge the quality of walnuts from these four aspects. First, the texture of walnuts with good "quality" is delicate and hard, and the sound of new walnuts colliding is solid, and the feel is heavy. The old walnuts are kneaded as fine as mutton fat jade, and they collide like gold stones.

Second, "shape" refers to the texture and pairing of walnuts, the closer the two walnuts are, the more precious, the density of the texture, distribution, the width and thickness of the edge, is an important factor in measuring the walnut. Third, "color" means that walnuts in different periods show different colors, and old walnuts will show a transparent color like ruby. It should be noted that there are some walnuts on the market that have been made of color, but in fact, the year of playing is not long, and it needs to be carefully identified.

Older walnuts will have bright spots, while new walnuts will have no bright spots, which is what collectors call walnuts not staining popularity. Fourth, "one" refers to the size of the walnut, generally speaking, the bigger the walnut in good condition, the more valuable it is, but the special-shaped walnut is the most particular about pairs, there is no same walnut in the world, just like there is no same egg in the world, often a train of walnuts can not pick out a pair of completely similar walnuts, pairing is a great deal of patience and opportunity, so a pair of pairing good special-shaped walnuts is often worth a lot. Looking at walnuts also requires observation and comparison from the touch, smell, hearing and visual aspects.

1. Does the umbilical cord of the new walnut need to be sealed? When is it generally good to seal the umbilicus?

Whether to seal the navel or not in the walnut depends on the variety. If it is a white stubble playing with walnuts, then you can't seal the umbilicus first. Because it will affect its own oily volatilization, it is likely that the condition will turn black. If you want to seal the umbilicus, play for a few years, and then seal the umbilicus!

2. How long does it take for white stubble walnuts to be played?

The old players who played Wenwan before said that if Wenwan Walnut wants to play well, it must go through three winters and two summers. But if you really want to play well, you have to play for at least five years!

3. When choosing walnuts, do you just need to look at the weight?

Until now, some players believe that the density of walnuts is related to the weight. However, if it is a newly planted walnut, because of its relatively large moisture, it will also be relatively heavy. However, after a long time in the tree, you can still distinguish it by weight!

4. Can walnuts be brushed with water?

In fact, the types of walnuts also belong to wooden cultural toys. As long as it is a wooden cultural play, you are afraid of water, so don't choose to use a water brush, a dry brush can also brush the walnuts clean!

Walnut is a kind of walnut that integrates collection, appreciation and play.

The walnut is full of crimson color, warm and moist as jade, very ornamental and collectible, and also has the function of exercising finger dexterity and massage, these advantages and characteristics make more and more people like the walnut.

Since walnuts are so likable, it is very refreshing to have a pair of walnuts. ......This involves a problem: how to choose a walnut.

Now that we have talked about the choice of walnuts, we must understand the types of walnuts.

There are three types of walnuts:

1. Hemp walnut.

2. Catalpa walnuts.

3. Iron walnuts.

Among them, hemp walnuts also have the following more specific categories:

1. Lion's head walnut.

2, Child's hat walnut.

3. Official hat walnut.

4. Chicken heart walnuts.

These four kinds of walnuts are called the four famous pits.

In addition, there is also a tiger head walnut that is also very famous.

Therefore, to judge the quality of walnuts, it is necessary to judge the type of walnut and see if it is the above famous walnut varieties. ......If yes, then it's definitely a good walnut. ......If not, then it's not a good game walnut.

In addition, to judge the quality of walnuts, you also need to judge from the appearance and texture of walnuts.

Specifically, it is necessary to analyze and judge from the following four aspects:

1. Quality. Texture is the texture of walnuts.

Good walnuts have a hard and delicate texture and a warm touch.

2. Shape. The shape refers to the unique shape and texture of the walnut, which is beautiful and generous.

3. Color. Color refers to the ruddy and delicate color of walnuts.

4, pcs. refers to the huge size of the walnut.

With the above characteristics, the walnut is a very good walnut. ......If the shape, texture, and color of the two walnuts match perfectly, this pair of walnuts is the best walnut.

The edge of the false walnut is generally clearly divided into two halves, the dividing line is very clear, and some transparent glue and the like are coated between the side seams, the seams are very unnatural, the most rare thing to do fake walnuts is to do the horizontal stripes of the edges, the sides of the false walnuts are generally two halves, there is no horizontal stripe connection between the side seams, and the horizontal lines are also terminated at the middle seam, and will not be coherent to the other side of the middle seam; Pay attention to the tail, the tail of the fake walnut is sometimes coated with some transparent glue or something, if the old walnut is newly sealed with white wax at the bottom, just rush a little, then eighty percent is fake, because if the old walnut is sealed with wax, it will have been sealed a long time ago, and with the passage of time, the wax will not be white; Pay attention to the variety and appearance, generally false walnuts are made of scarce varieties of old walnuts, such as: old stuffy pointed lion head, four-edged lion head, etc. So be careful in this regard.

In addition, the fake walnuts are generally in perfect condition, without defects such as knocks, falls, and cripples. Let's think about it carefully: if the decades-old walnut is real, it is simply too difficult to be able to do it unscathed; Pay attention to whether there are similarities, the variety of false walnuts is limited, as long as you turn more places, you may encounter the same false pit.

Old walnuts generally have sand kernels, and after decades of playing, the kernels have become sandy. Low-level fake walnuts do not have sand kernels, but some counterfeiting masters will also make sand kernels, which are made of millet, but this kind of sand kernels will be louder and habitual than the sand kernels of real walnuts, which is very important. The sound made when the walnut is fake cannot be imitated, and there will be no sound of real walnuts, only a muffled sound.

Touch: that is, "feel", it is not easy to judge the Tao without a certain amount of pangong, the old walnut is generally very light, no sense of falling, and a little "floating" after a few clicks. Fake old walnuts are a bit of a fall, although the weight and size are properly matched, but the subtle changes in wood can not be faked!

It doesn't feel so warm to the touch! In addition, the real pulp walnut plate has a greasy feeling a few times; Artificial toning does not have this feeling and is rougher. Smell:

Walnuts made of resin smell chemical products with the nose, while real walnuts have no peculiar smell.

How to judge the quality of walnuts:

1. Cortex: Walnuts with good cortex should have a loud sound and no chaff when playing, and the cortex of new walnuts should be firm and not rough. The old walnut should be red and transparent, like red resin, and look like a fake; The old walnut feels smooth when coiled, and when it collides, it sounds like a stone or metal.

5. Shape: 1 in general. The high pile is lower than the low pile, and the pointed pile is lower than the round one. A wide side is prettier than a narrow side. Concave and flat bottoms are played over convex bottoms.

Third, it is to see whether there is pubic skin on the surface, whether there are insect eyes, and it is best to choose walnuts to look in the sun, which can be seen more clearly. Fourth, look at the pairing, you must look at it from multiple angles, some positive pairings are good, and the negative pairings are not good.

Brush clean and look carefully, yellow edge, yellow tip must not play, now a lot of walnuts on the market have been repaired sharp, let alone want, the repair of the place red fast, the formation of a red nose is very ugly. It is not advisable to simply weigh the weight, the Chinese are too smart, and various methods of aggravation cannot be prevented. Watch more, learn more, and act carefully.

3. Color. It refers to the different colors of walnuts in different periods, and walnuts that have been played with for a long time often show a lustrous color like red agate. The redder the color, the better, and the red is translucent.
