[The Story: "Gong Deng" ] The Gong Deng, or "Palace Lantern," is one of the oldest and most traditional varieties in Chinese walnut history.

  • The Name: It is named for its remarkable resemblance to the traditional red lanterns that hung in the Imperial Palace.
  • The Shape: It is famous for being perfectly round with a full, protruding "belly" and high shoulders. It is the definition of "Roundness" in the walnut world.
  • The Feeling: This variety is known for its "Prickly" texture. The ridges are sharp and deep, making it the best choice for hand massage and acupressure. It provides intense stimulation to the palm.

[Why is Pair #GD-70 Special?]

  • Massive Size (46mm): As marked on the label (4.6 x 4.2), this pair measures 46mm in width. Finding a Palace Lantern over 42mm is hard; finding one at 46mm is exceptional.
  • Full & Round: Look at the side profile. It has that signature "Lantern" shapeβ€”wide in the middle and tapering slightly at the top, sitting perfectly stable.
  • Deep, Wild Texture: The ridges are deep and chaotic, promising a satisfying grip and a beautiful "Dragon Scale" pattern as it ages.
