[The Lore: The Imperial "Chicken Heart"]

In the Wenwan community, the "Ji Xin" —translating literally to "Chicken Heart"—is one of the oldest, most traditional, and historically significant walnut varieties. Long favored by the scholars and nobility of the imperial court, it earns its name from its highly distinctive, naturally tall stature (Gao Zhuang) and a pronounced, pointed tip that perfectly resembles the shape of a heart.

Playing with a pair of Ji Xin walnuts provides a completely different tactile experience compared to modern, round varieties. Because they are significantly taller than they are wide, they require the fingers to stretch and articulate more during rotation. This vertical sweeping motion provides a highly elegant, rhythmic rotation and an exceptional workout for hand flexibility and joint health.

[Why the JX-401C is a Premium Pick]

• Collector Grade "Gao Zhuang" Proportions: Measuring 37.0mm in width and thickness, and soaring to 42.0mm in height, this pair represents the absolute gold standard for the Ji Xin variety. This classic "tall" profile allows for the sweeping, elegant finger stretches that collectors of this variety actively seek out.
• The Signature "Pointed Heart" Silhouette: True to its ancient heritage, this pair features beautifully defined, sharp top tips, a full, commanding midsection, and highly stable bases.
• Boutique (Jing Pin) Matching: To achieve "Collector Grade" status, a tall variety must possess flawless symmetry so that one does not wobble or feel disproportionate against the other. This pair has been meticulously curated for mirrored vertical silhouettes, matching tip structures, and perfectly aligned ridge density.
• Premium Bone Density: Hand-selected for its mature, heavy timber. The deep, flowing ridges of this high-quality shell produce a crisp, resonant "clink" during play. It is primed to rapidly absorb natural oils and transform into a breathtaking, glossy dark-red patina, honoring its imperial legacy.
