A friend of mine, when he went to Hainan Island to enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze, he sent me a **, saying that it was a strange fruit that he accidentally found while walking on the beach, bright red, as if it was a huge persimmon.
He asked me if this was a Hainan specialty, and if I could collect it as a cultural toy. I couldn't help but laugh, he was such a fan of literature and wanted to play everything.
As soon as I saw the ** sent by my friend, I thought it was very strange, what kind of strange-shaped fruit is this, is it a new variety he found in Hainan?
I asked him curiously, and after searching the Internet again, I realized that this is an ancient and interesting cultural toy, and some senior enthusiasts have a lot of treasures about it!
Its name is foxtail coconut, and it is a palm plant, and its name is derived from its leaves, which resemble the furry tail of a fox.
Its fruit is also very special, hanging on the tree one by one, with bright colors, like fiery red pearls.
In Hainan, foxtail coconut is a common garden plant, which can not only beautify the environment, but also bring joy to people. When the fruit is ripe, they will fall naturally, and you don't have to pick them with great effort, just walk on the road and you can pick them up!
As you may have guessed, this red and glamorous fruit is actually a precious cultural toy, and some old connoisseurs can't put it down!
If you want to know its secrets, try removing the flesh to reveal the pit inside.
You will be amazed to know that this is a black pit with countless golden threads entwined around it, like a fine piece of artwork.
These silk threads are actually the peel fibers of foxtail coconut, which have been exposed to the wind and sun and turned golden yellow. Some people will collect these pits or process them into various ornaments that are pleasing to the eye.
This red foxtail coconut fruit is actually the so-called "Thousand Silk Bodhi"., It is a rare cultural play, and it used to be infinite in the world of cultural games, but because it has changed too little, and the surface is easy to accumulate dust, and it is inconvenient to take care of, and it is gradually forgotten by people!
With the passage of time, although there are still some survivors of Qiansi Bodhi, most of them are made into simple keychains, and few people use it to make bracelets
Thousand Silk Bodhi is not really Bodhi, it just borrowed the name to increase its own value. There's no fun to play with because its colors never change, and you can't experience a sense of accomplishment from it.
However, it still has a certain decorative effect, which can be made into small objects such as keychains and pendants, which is unique and is a very niche cultural play. If you had to choose, would you want to go to the green belt and make your own one?
