ChickenWing jichimu Jichimu, literally translated as 'chicken-wing wood', describes a wood whose deep brown and gray patterns when cut tangentially resemble the patterns of bird feathers. The radial cut appears less dramatically with parallel lines of concentric layered tissue. It is botanically classified in the Ormosia genus of which as many as twenty-six species may grow in China. Jichimu is indigenous to Hainan Island, and the relatively large quantity of jichimu furniture found in Fujian province also corresponds to a source where seven different species are reportedly found today, and whose materials are virtually undifferentiated, yet bear varying leaf patterns. Hongdou (red bean), and xiangsi may also be other names for related species.

Jichimu signifie «bois en aile de poulet ». De fait, lorsqu’on coupe le Jichimu tangentiellement, les dessins du bois que l’on obtient font très fortement penser aux plumes multicolores d’un oiseau.
Il y a deux types de Jichimu : le Laojichimu (vieux Jichimu) qui posséde des lignes alternativement brun-foncées et grises, et le Xinjichimu (nouveau Jichimu) qui a des lignes alternativement violettes et noires, ainsi qu’un grain plus grossier.
Le Laojichimu subit un sort similaire à celui du Huanghualia et se fit lui aussi très rare durant l’époque Qianlong. A partir de ce moment il fut remplacé par le Xinjichimu ou le Hongmu.
Le Jichimu, comme le Huanghuali, appartient à la famille des bois de rose.

Maderas duras
Zitan (Sándalo rojo) y Huanghuali (palisandro amarillo), las maderas duras predominantes, eran tradicionalmente traídas de la Isla de Hainan, pero ahora también se obtienen de otras partes tropicales del Sureste Asiático. ***Jichimu (madera de “ala de pollo”)*** y Tieli (madera de hierro) provienen de las provincias de Fujian y Guangdong.

Legni molto preziosi quali Huang hua Li, il teak, il tieli o il ***jichimu***, sono stati importati dai paesi del sud dell'Asia oggi conosciuti come la Birmania, il Vietnam, l'Indonesia e la Malesia. Questo tipo tropicale di legno è stato importato in Cina per più di 2000 anni.

O ancora: il jichimu è un legno molto antico, che presenta bellissime venature di colore marrone; lo Zitan è un legno di origine indocinese, abbastanza raro, che sembra laccato, ed ha sfumature nere e viola
