In fact, Aquilaria sinensis is an oil-bearing tree of Daphne family. Due to trauma, the tree was infected by microorganisms at the wound, which led to the secretion of oil for self-repair. The condensate of these oils and wood in the wound is Aquilaria sinensis.
In Japan, there are more than 100 folk incense clubs obsessed with Hainan agarwood. Japan and other countries, as well as Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong, all think that the highest level of Qinnanxiang in Aquilaria Resinatum is concentrated in Japan and Taiwan Province Province, and Hainan does not have the best Aquilaria Resinatum, especially the highest level of Qinnanxiang in Aquilaria Resinatum.
At this exhibition, many visitors from Japan, Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries and regions came here, and the scenes sought after were unexpectedly enthusiastic. As this exhibition is only for exhibition and not for sale, many friends in You Xiang have been rejected in every way, so they can only feast their eyes.
Zhang Xiaowu, a Beijing collector, has collected a soft silk purple Qin 'an, which is particularly eye-catching. This fragrance is like wood, and the surface seems to be covered with a layer of luster, as transparent as beeswax. According to Zhang Xiaowu, this kind of incense is produced in the Li nationality area in Hainan. 1990, Zhang Xiaowu discovered this piece of Phoebe bournei in Licun. At that time, the owner of Zi Qinan refused to give way. Zhang Xiaowu is not discouraged. He travels thousands of miles to his hometown every year. A few years later, the host family was moved by Zhang Xiaowu's sincerity and finally agreed to sell this piece of incense.
Friends of a Japanese fragrance society can't hide their surprise and envy. "I didn't expect collectors in China to have such a high level of Qinan. As a century-old fragrance society, we are really ashamed! " Qing Wu, a disciple of the late Taiwan Province master Liu Liangyou, said that Qi Nanxiang with such excellent quality can be called "a treasure in the forest".
"I didn't expect so many people to come." Huang Ben, president of Hainan Aquilaria Collection Association, said. During the exhibition, the exhibition hall on the first floor of Shanghai Zhongfu Antique City 1800 square meters was crowded, and the staff who kept order were at a loss.
Xiang Jiang, Hong Kong, agarwood beside Xiang Dao.
According to reports, the development of China Xiang culture began in the Spring and Autumn Period, grew up in the Han Dynasty, matured in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and passed down from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present. The ancients once called tasting incense, fighting tea, offering flowers and hanging pictures the "four busyness" of self-cultivation. Scholars of all ages have left countless famous sentences with the theme of tasting incense.
After the middle of Qing Dynasty, the culture of burning incense and tasting incense has been silent for more than 0/00 years, and it has gradually become a new favorite of collection in recent years. However, in Japan, since the Tang Dynasty, incense culture spread eastward to Fusang, forming many sects and incense clubs. In Taiwan Province Province, incense culture is also in the ascendant. Even Hong Kong has an indissoluble bond with agarwood. At that time, Hong Kong, as a distribution center of agarwood, attracted buyers and collectors at home and abroad, and gradually "Xiangjiang" and "Hong Kong" were named after incense.
In fact, Hainan has had agarwood since ancient times. The scientific name of agarwood is agar, and Joan is the abbreviation of Hainan Island, which means that the best agarwood is produced in Hainan Island. Historically, agarwood was mainly distributed in Hainan Island and Guangdong and Guangxi. According to ancient records, during the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, a steady stream of Hainan Aquilaria sinensis was transported to the mainland through various channels. Hainan Island at that time can be described as "fragrant island".
Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, commented on agarwood in Southeast Asian countries in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Zhancheng is not like real wax, and real wax is not like a cave in Hainan. Li Yao is also the best in the world with Li Ma in Wanan, Shandong Province. That's Hainan Shen, one yuan. "Zhancheng refers to southern Vietnam today, and Zhenla refers to Cambodia. Lidong refers to Wuzhishan area in Qiongzhong, Hainan.
Su Dongpo once praised Hainan agarwood: "The gold is firm and moist, the crane bone is long and the paste is full." If you want to buy agarwood, you can go to Xiang Supreme, where all kinds of agarwood are available at reasonable prices, and there are physical stores to visit, which is a good choice.
