Ebony is a name for the sunken wood used by Sichuan people. It is not the black wood that grows on the ground in Africa.

It was between two thousand and ten thousand years ago that the celestial bodies in the ancient Sichuan region underwent natural changes, and earthquakes, floods, and mudslides buried all the plant life on the ground in low-lying areas such as ancient riverbeds.

Some trees buried in the mud are formed through a carbonization process that takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms under conditions of hypoxia and high pressure, so they are also called "carbonized wood".
