Humans have a natural affinity for trees, which is related to the fact that humans are born to live in forests. In any beautiful, noble or luxurious place, whether it is an office or a residence, if you can touch “wood”, you will have a sense of returning to nature.
So, how to describe the feeling of touching cork? ——”Warm and smooth like jade” is a more appropriate statement.
No matter who you are, you will be surprised by the extraordinary nature of cork when you meet it.
The nobility and preciousness of cork is not only the appearance that surprises people at first sight, but also the cognition after gradually understanding or understanding it: it turns out that there can be such a noble beauty on the ground or on the wall! People may sigh, why is it so late for humans to discover it?
In fact, cork is not a new thing, but in China, people know it later.
According to relevant records, the history of cork can be traced back to at least 1,000 years ago. At least, it has been “famous in history” with the emergence of wine, and the invention of wine has a history of more than 1,000 years. From ancient times to the present, winemaking has been related to cork. Wine barrels or champagne barrels are made of the trunk of “cork” – cork oak (commonly known as oak), and barrel stoppers, as well as current bottle stoppers, are made of oak bark (i.e. “cork”). This is because cork is not only non-toxic and harmless, but more importantly, the tannin component in oak can color the wine, reduce the miscellaneous flavor of the wine, make it mild, and carry the aroma of oak, making the wine smoother, more mellow, and the wine color is deep red and dignified. The elastic cork can close the barrel stopper once and for all, but it is quite convenient to open. In addition, cork has the advantages of not rotting, not being moth-eaten, and not degenerating and deteriorating. These characteristics of cork make cork have a wide range of use value, and 100 years ago, cork was widely used in floors and wallpapers in European countries. Today, 100 years later, Chinese people also live a comfortable and warm cork life and enjoy the intimate care brought by cork.
