The Premature Place of Walnut in Wan Wen

Wan Wen Walnut is also called "Fitness Walnut" and "Palm Bead". Wan Wen Walnut was originally named "Kneading Walnut", which originated in the Han and Sui Dynasties and prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, most of the players gathered in the "Eight Banners Street" at that time, that is, the Dashilaner area in Qianmen, and there were people who were "not busy with three meals a day" everywhere. At that time, there were two kinds of playing walnuts: literary play and elegant play. Elegant drama is a higher-level literary drama. There is an old saying in Beijing called "gadgets". At that time, people thought that it would take at least 8 years to 10 years for walnuts to be called "gadgets" until their paddles were perfect, clashing like bones and the color was as fine as jade. In the long history of more than 2,000 years, it has spread widely and formed a unique walnut culture in China. Throughout the ages, emperors and princes, gifted scholars and beautiful women, bureaucrats and ordinary people are all proud of having a pair of delicate and shiny walnuts. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, playing walnuts reached its peak.
