China Xiangdao in Xiangdao

China Xiang Xiang corresponds to Japanese Xiang Xiang (Japanese Xiang Xiang). Japanese incense originated in the Tang Dynasty in China, while China incense was formed in the Han Dynasty. The symbol of the prosperity of incense culture in this period is that literati often use beautiful fragrance as writing materials. For example, the magnificent poems of the Western Han Dynasty are often written in vanilla and fragrant wood. Sima Xiangru's Preface Fu and monk Fu Lin described the fragrant world with gorgeous words. Such as Zi Xufu's Cloud Dream: "The cloud dreamer is 900 Li ... In the east, there are Hewlett-Packard hurdles, Zhiruo dried bamboo shoots, male bow calamus and Li Jiang. Bai Juyi's Yuefu poem "Li Furen" describes the scene at that time: "My wife refused to say goodbye when she was ill, and she was grateful when she died." "What are the benefits of painters? Don't talk, don't laugh, worry about killing people. Also let the alchemist combine the elixir, the jade pot exploded and the golden stove burned. The night in Jiuhua tent is very quiet and the soul is very fragrant. Where is the lady's soul? Cigarettes are led to incense burners. "

Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, Boshan Furnace and the ancients in the Han Dynasty had long realized the limitations of a single fragrance, so they came up with the concept of compatibility of multiple spices and began to use the mixture of multiple spices. It can be seen from the "four-point incense burner" in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty that the lotus fragrance was ready at that time. China incense sticks spread to Xuande period in the late Qing Dynasty, which produced a famous incense burner-Xuande Furnace, and then withered with the Opium War and the decline of national strength. Some incense scholars were exiled to Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province, and there are still some relics. After the reform and opening up, Chinese Xiangxiang began to flourish, and the number of participants gradually increased. China Xiangxiang has always been admired by Mr. Shi Deyi, the master of Xiangxue, and Mr. Xu Tinghe, the founder of Zhongxiangtang. The two masters restored the costumes, utensils and ceremonies of the Han and Tang Dynasties from ancient books.
