The Chu River flows across to the Chu Temple, and nanmu grows quietly on the back of the red cliff. ——Yan Wu

In the field of cultural relic collection, there are many valuable cultural relics that are favorites of collectors, such as ceramics. As long as ceramics are related to cultural relics, they will naturally be worth a lot of money. In addition to ceramics, there is also golden nanmu that can be ranked first. At the beginning, many people thought that golden nanmu was just a kind of wood and its value would not be too high. However, golden nanmu brought everyone a big surprise. As the first of the four famous trees in our country, golden nanmu has Its status is a very noble representative. Moreover, in the ancient feudal period, golden nanmu represented the majesty of the royal family. Whether it is the construction of palaces or homes, or even the carving of handicrafts, golden nanmu is loved by princes and nobles.

In modern life, the appearance rate of golden nanmu is actually not low. For example, during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Emperor Qianlong once gave a piece of art carved from golden nanmu among his gifts to his daughter-in-law. This piece of art was auctioned in Hong Kong in 2008 for 20 million yuan. When you browse the Forbidden City Museum, many tour guides will also introduce the pillars of the Forbidden City. Their selection of materials is also inseparable from the shadow of golden nanmu, which shows how precious they are.

A Sichuan man dug out an old cutting board at home that had not cracked for a hundred years. After having it appraised by an expert, he became rich overnight. The man's surname was Wang. When Mr. Wang was a child, he already knew that there was an old cutting board at home, which was a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation. When Mr. Wang was just a child, he thought it was a big joke that cutting boards could be made into family heirlooms. When Mr. Wang grew up and had his own family, he discovered that this cutting board was indeed somewhat different from other cutting boards. First of all, this cutting board has not only been used for hundreds of years without cracking, but it can still retain a light fruity aroma. Whether it is Mr. Wang’s friends or Mr. Wang’s wife’s family, they all have a high opinion of this cutting board.

At this time, Mr. Wang couldn’t figure out why a cutting board could be so different? Is it because the craftsmanship is different, or is the raw material of this cutting board valuable? Later, Mr. Wang invited local cultural relic appraisal experts to help identify the cutting board. As a result, the truth surprised Mr. Wang. It turned out that this cutting board, which had been passed down from generation to generation, was a valuable cutting board made of golden nanmu. If you put it up for auction, you might get an unexpected surprise. This means that with this golden nanmu color board, Mr. Wang can become rich overnight.

In fact, the number of golden nanmu currently in the market is not very large, and plants such as golden nanmu are now explicitly protected by the country and have become national secondary protection objects. As for the handicrafts and buildings made of golden nanmu on the market, they have always been associated with the word "precious". After learning the news, Mr. Wang decisively turned the golden nanmu into a handicraft, hoping to pass it down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.

Regarding the change of getting rich overnight, Mr. Wang’s attitude is very normal. Many people also speculate that perhaps the ancestors of Mr. Wang's family are the kind of family with a high net worth. Even the kitchen utensils are made of golden nanmu. Maybe his family ancestors had a glorious history. But being unfazed by favors and humiliations and living their lives in a down-to-earth manner is indeed what the next generation should do.
