What are the characteristics of camphor wood compared with other ordinary wood?

Cinnamomum camphora, also known as Cinnamomum camphora, is one of the four famous trees in Jiangnan. Cinnamomum camphora is a subtropical tree species, mainly distributed in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is an evergreen tall tree of Catalpa in Lauraceae. Flowers in early summer, yellow-green, panicle, broad crown, lush foliage, shady everywhere, magnificent momentum, is an excellent street tree and shade tree. Cinnamomum camphora has the characteristics of temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and insect repellent because of its special aroma and volatile oil. It is an ideal material for making expensive furniture, high-grade buildings, shipbuilding and sculpture. Camphor for daily use is a white crystal extracted from the roots, stems, branches and leaves of camphor tree. It is colorless and transparent, and has a cool fragrance. Used for moth prevention, and also widely used in medicine and chemical industry. In the folk, people often regard Cinnamomum camphora as a landscape tree and a geomantic tree, which means avoiding evil spirits, longevity and good luck. Cinnamomum camphora is favored by the majority of urban and rural residents, and it has been selected as a "city tree" in cities such as Hangzhou, Yiwu and Maanshan. Cinnamomum camphora is very distinctive, its bark is rough, but its texture is very uniform, and there has never been mottled poplar or tumor of willow. The branch is divided into two and two into four. They won't cut corners or gild the lily. The crown is spherical in shape, drawing a beautiful curve in the sky. Zhangshu is the calligraphy of Dongpo, Su Like. Round and continuous, handsome and elegant, but quite satisfactory. If it is a hillside full of camphor trees, it is simply a peerless monument of Su Dongpo. Therefore, people who study art like to use camphor tree as the object of sketch. What is even more rare is that camphor tree has a special fragrance, which can repel insects, and gardeners hardly need to spray pesticides. These two days in Jiangxi, which is famous for its camphor trees, I feasted my eyes, which greatly satisfied my special hobby of lack of human nature. Cinnamomum camphora is everywhere in Jiangxi, and there are many ancient trees over 500 to 600 years old, scattered in villages, rivers and hilltops.
