What are the traditional cultural connotations of China related to mahogany?

The word "redwood" is very China, and it only belongs to China. The word "foreigner" can't be translated, because behind the word "mahogany", there is a truck full of Chinese culture. Therefore, foreigners are puzzled when they enter the mahogany shop: there is no red wood, but a lot of China furniture. People in China who don't know mahogany are also confused, and they don't know what "mahogany" is.

the word "redwood" is used today, and its connotation and extension are not the same as before. The word "redwood" was first used on the material of red rosewood, which is called "old redwood", and "old redwood" is now called big rosewood. Big red rosewood is red rosewood, more precisely, it refers to the top grade of red rosewood, that is, Laos red rosewood. "Big red rosewood" is a kind of nickname for "the top grade of red rosewood, that is, Laos red rosewood", and the word "big" has incorporated many emotions into it.

Old mahogany is one of the most commonly used materials in hardwood furniture in China. It is not only good in material, oily, but also festive in color. Especially in price, it can be said that it has the best cost performance, so it is suitable for people at almost all levels, has won universal love and is widely used. Therefore, around 199, some hardwood furniture stores in the south were simply called "redwood shops". At this time, "mahogany" is no longer the concept of wood, but the concept of furniture-furniture made of old mahogany, and even refers to furniture made of old mahogany, including but not limited to it.

However, at that time, the concept of redwood was not as popular as it is now. The turning point was the promulgation of the national standard of "Redwood" in 2, and these Woods were named "Redwood". At this time, the word "redwood" completed a gorgeous turn-from referring to the old redwood, that is, the big red rosewood, to the general name of 33 materials. At the same time, it also changed itself from the meaning of "hardwood furniture store" to the meaning of wood materials. All this makes the word "mahogany" complicated, which is difficult for foreigners to understand.

so, what exactly does the word "redwood" mean? It can refer to a kind of wood-red rosewood; It can also refer to a kind of wood (33 kinds of wood in the national standard, including red rosewood); It can also refer to mahogany furniture and other products made of mahogany; It can also refer to a shopping mall that specializes in mahogany furniture (products); It can even refer to mahogany-like furniture products made of hardwood other than national standard mahogany. How complicated! But why is this? The reason is that the word "redwood" is not only the concept of wood and products, but also a cultural concept. "Mahogany culture", many people say so.

There is nothing wrong with this. Mahogany, no matter the material or the finished product, is full of cultural flavor-the traditional culture of China. Otherwise, it can't have such a great appeal in China. It is its cultural characteristics that have conquered people. -culture? So empty! A lot of people would say the same thing. Because they seem to be invisible and intangible, and they can't fall into reality. Traditional culture is like this. It has conquered you, but you can't catch it. It is just an erratic shadow, but it is deeply rooted in your mind and heart. It is precisely because of this that many people raise the cultural flag and talk about "redwood culture", but when he is really asked to talk about culture, he can't say it, or it is very superficial.

in fact, culture can land, and so can mahogany culture. Because it is rich in culture, "redwood" has become a cultural phenomenon. Then, we should help everyone to interpret this culture carefully, to taste this culture and to inherit this culture. Use mahogany, from love, from love. The source of love lies in the worship of Chinese traditional culture. And the use itself is inheritance, carrying a kind of artifacts with cultural symbols, that is, inheriting culture.

"Excellence comes from ingenuity" Every material choice comes from respect for nature, every carving process comes from love for art, and the sale of every piece of furniture comes from the inheritance of culture. BY I am China Luobu Tiao.
