Did "an inch of wood and an inch of gold" and "dragon wood" really exist in ancient times?
Dragon wood, as its name implies, is an extremely rare tree with high-end domineering.

Many people contact and know Longmu, basically through the film and television drama "Mu Guiying in command":

The story of Mu Da's skyshatter Gate Array tells that when he led an army to attack Tianmen Array, he was trapped by the toxic gas released by the Liao army, causing heavy casualties. Later, Mu Guiying brought Longmu from Muke Village to disperse the poisonous gas in the array, and opened the Skybreaking Gate Array.

Only in this way can we see the power of dragon wood. It is recorded in history that chopsticks made of dragon wood were given to emperors and important officials to test whether there were toxins in meals and drinking water.

It can be seen that the first point of longmu is its extremely high medicinal value.

According to medical history books, Dalbergia Dalbergia is unique in its medical and medicinal value, and nothing can replace it so far. There is a folk myth that there is a Shenmu at home and the disease goes away without a trace.

In addition, longmu has a very high collection value. Handicrafts made of dragon wood can ward off evil spirits and keep order in the house.

According to professionals in the field of collection, due to the lack of resources and large market demand, the current price of longmu is called an inch of wood and an inch of gold, even far exceeding the price of gold. At present, it is also an extremely precious protected species in China.

Dragon tree is a deciduous shrub, which is currently distributed in Shandong, Shanxi and Henan, with a very narrow distribution range.

The dragon tree is about 17 meters high. It is a tree that can't see the annual rings, so people can't estimate its age at all. Its trunk is not cylindrical like other tree species, but has six vertical edges, so it is called "Liumu" in some places. Its branches are very tough and not easy to break, and Shandong people also call it "beef tendon tree" according to this feature.

Every May, the dragon tree will produce tiny white flowers, the fragrance can float for several miles, but the flowering period is not long, and it will wither after only 20 days on the tree.

20 12, someone found a strange tree in Nanshaojin Village, Caishi Town, Jinan City. This tree is completely different from other trees on the mountain. Much like the legendary dragon tree, the wood in the branches is flaky or filiform, with strong toughness and continuous folding, like beef tendon, so the villagers call it beef tendon tree.

From 65438 to 0986, several experts from Shandong Agricultural University came here to make a detailed investigation and demonstration of this tree, and the conclusion was surprising. This beef tendon tree is a dragon tree, which can detoxify and ward off evil spirits.

20 16 Wang Weibo, editor-in-chief of chinese zen Culture Network, and others, led by Zen master Dezheng Shi, abbot of Shao Shi Temple in Dengfeng City, Henan Province, climbed the Wofo Mountain in the west of the temple and found about 20 legendary "dragon trees" in the depths of the dense forest.

In addition, dragon wood can also be made into beads called lucky beads. If you can see four "longan" on bamboo, it is the best among treasures, and its value is more precious than gold.

In addition, the detoxification effect of dragon wood residue is also very powerful. If it is toxic, just throw a little slag into it and it will release white foam. It can be seen that the dragon wood mentioned in Mu's order can dissolve the poison gas, and there is also a certain basis. It just shouldn't be as vivid as the novel describes!
