⓵What kind of wood is used to make plaques?
Hardwood
Because the wood is stable, the furniture made from it has been around for a long time. Common hardwoods include rosewood, huanghuali, chicken wing wood and rosewood.
Red sandalwood:
The most pre cious wood, it has a solid texture but slow growth. Therefore, most furniture is made of several pieces joined together. If there is a whole panel, it will be very long. Rare and rare. Its color is mostly purple-black, exuding a quiet and noble temperament.
Rosewood:
Pterocarpus, a pre cious tree species with high-quality dark heartwood in the genus Pterocarpus of the Fabaceae family. The difference between rosewood heartwood and sapwood is obvious. The sapwood is yellowish-white to gray-brown; the heartwood is reddish-brown, purple-red to purple-brown. The wood color is relatively uniform, with dark stripes visible, and the growth rings are not obvious or slightly obvious. Diffuse porous wood or semi-ring porous wood, single tube hole, a few radial multiple tube holes, containing dark gum, sediment or intrusion. The axial parenchyma is wing-shaped, wing-shaped, band-shaped, circumferential bundle-shaped and wheel-shaped. The wood rays are thin to very fine, mainly single-column, with inconspicuous or slightly obvious radial markings and ripple marks on the string surface. The wood is shiny, has a slight or obvious aroma, has staggered textures, a fine and even structure, and is slightly thicker in some parts of South America and Africa. It is corrosion-resistant and durable. The material is hard and heavy, partly medium, with high strength and partly medium. It usually floats in water, and the wood powder or sawdust water immersion liquid shows fluorescence. Mostly found on Ming-style furniture, the wood is dense and the color ranges from light yellow to dark brown. Generally speaking, the longer Huanghuali furniture is used, the brighter its color will be, making it more suitable for modern spaces.
Wenge wood:
Solid texture, with alternating purple and brown textures. When used in modern times, its lines are smoother and new ideas are injected into tradition.
Rosewood:
Good rosewood wood is similar to red sandalwood, but its luster and color are slightly lighter, the color is warm and the yield is large.

Plaques are a unique commercial language and cultural symbol in China. It is a compre hensive art work that integrates Chinese language, Chinese calligraphy, traditional Chinese architecture, and sculpture, and combines ideological and artistic qualities.
Traditional plaques are divided into three main materials: wood, stone and metal, but wood is the most common, and stone and metal are relatively rare. The inscriptions on the plaque were mainly dignitaries, celebrities and calligraphers at that time. The paint on the plaques is mostly black, but also comes in purple, red, blue, green, brown and other colors. The most common type of writing is real gold plaque.
