Century, smoking opium was became one of the habits of the

the golden stripes become brighter. This type is the most
beautiful one. "Water Nan" has a light color. It
is not so firm. It is mostly used to make tables and chairs.
Someone said that the water cannot get inside the wood and
the ants will not make a home on it. Therefore the wood is
mostly used to make burial case and plaque. During the Ming
Dynasty, Nanmu became the royal building materials. Here we

inside the carriage during the ancient time. When Han Dynasty,
