Appreciation of ancient incense and ancient books

Although there was no perfume in ancient times, ancient women also had a strong fragrance. As early as thousands of years ago, in the former dynasty, those girls liked to turn flowers and plants in nature into garlands and put them on their heads, dried them and made them into sachets for the right people, so the original spices were flowers and plants in nature.

This method has lasted for centuries in China's perfume culture for thousands of years, and it has been used until now. The use of spices in China can be traced back to the Shennong era 5,000 years ago, when bark and grass roots were first used to make drugs for exorcism. At that time, people discovered the fragrance of plants, and the flowers in nature were more fragrant and pleasant.

Although China has been able to use perfume for a long time, the real perfume raw materials are not produced in China, but in the western regions. At that time, the Silk Road was very popular in Qin and Han Dynasties, and spices from Arab countries entered China one after another. It is common to wear sachets on dignitaries.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to the spread of Buddhist thought, incense was more common among the upper nobility and quickly became popular among literati. There are also many poems dedicated to Xiang. In the Tang Dynasty, every major festival, the emperor gave some cosmetics to ministers, which can not only prevent cracking and protect skin, but also enhance people's own fragrance. Girls also use these items.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were even merchants specializing in spices and perfumes. These merchants use special herbs and reasonable formulas to make perfumes that are very suitable for girls. There were also fragrant balls in the Tang Dynasty, which were put in the room through ingenious mechanism design, and then the fragrance would bring girls.
