Malaosi and Hama Tou: names need context

This is an English reading overview of the Chinese article, rather than a complete translation. The Chinese source has been updated since this overview was prepared; consult the original for the latest details.

The central idea

Market names can blur different walnut categories. The article separates the brand’s Malaosi Lion’s Head direction from Hama Tou and encourages checking source and category rather than assuming that every striking shape is a traditional lion’s head. Use the name to start a question, then assess the actual shell and surface.
