In natural aging, it takes hundreds of years and decades. A good old golden bell and cypress will go through hundreds of years, and the annual rings have hundreds of years and thousands of years, so it is called "fossil in the wood"!
Jin Zhongbai's rings are exquisite as silk, because the slow-growing wood rings are tight, and it takes hundreds of years for ordinary Jin Zhongbai to look at them carefully. Life is limited, and people feel smaller and shorter when they look at it! Many great natural things, in the face of their enduring great silence, exude a quiet fragrance, and when touched lightly, there are too many feelings in my heart!
