Difference between Quercus and Quercus Hazel

Hazelnut, also known as Quercus pin, should be pronounced as zhà zhēn, is one of the precious woods for Chinese classical furniture. It is a small evergreen tree with phoenix-eye-shaped leaves, fine and tough wood, clear and elegant wood grain, and not easy to be deformed after decades of natural dehydration after being felled.

The wood furniture from the middle of the Qing Dynasty began to flourish, the reason is that rosewood, yellow rosewood and other famous wood is becoming increasingly scarce, high-quality wood became the protagonist of the production of furniture. But by the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the growth in the tropical rainforests of the South China Sea in the introduction of a large number of sour wood, rosewood, gradually replaced the hazelnut wood.

Quercus yellows is just a representation of a common color, and not wood and so on, while Quercus hazel is a precious wood. So the difference between the two is still very big.
