"Incense" also comes from nature. Incense, the interpretation of "Cihai" originally refers to the smell of cereals after maturity, and is extended to the smell of good names.

Therefore, good fragrance is the innate nature of human beings, just like the love of butterflies and the sunshine of trees. Incense can mobilize the spirituality of people's minds in the joyful process, and can be used endlessly to regulate pranayama, renounce, open the mind, and reconcile the body and mind between the tangible. Incense can not only be leisurely in the study and piano room, but also ethereal universe in the temple altar; It can not only be closed in the quiet room to observe silently, but also to enjoy the pleasure during the banquet; It can not only calm the nerves and open the mind, but also cure diseases.

"Incense" is composed of "he" and "day". Grass, a plant of the genus Poa, like animals and people, has life, sex, and spirit. The sun is a point in the great universe, which belongs to the yang.

The development of incense is to borrow a little yang energy in nature, so that all plants (grasses), animals, and human life are not inexhaustible, and they are endless. The sachet is worn on the body to purify the body and mind; It's an elite culture, a mass culture.

Look at your needs, needs. I think if it's entry-level knowledge, choose "Incense and Incense Vessels".

If already. Books that do not require preliminary knowledge are purchased to cover the knowledge of various more detailed spices, but they are not very closely related to incense.

There are also a lot of incense books on **, and there are many incense supplies stores on **, which admire many Taiwanese incense masters, so most of them are genuine books in Taiwan. Personally, I think that the difference between Taiwanese books and mainland books is that Taiwanese genuine books are more expensive, with one book at about 150, and the other is that the books are all printed in traditional vertical characters, and the style of discourse is like ancient Chinese. So everyone chooses the book according to their preferences.

If you want to buy Taiwanese books, buy them when you get started.

If you want more in-depth knowledge, buy this one.

Finally, I would like to talk about my experience in incense, which is not very easy to collect by books, and it is still necessary to go through my own practice and communicate with people who have common sense in this area to obtain.

Taiwan's late author Liu Liangyou, a canon of the Incense Society.

This book can learn to learn incense culture, but don't read the knowledge of agarwood.

Chinese incense was formed in the Han Dynasty, Japanese incense originated in the Tang Dynasty of China, Chinese incense was inherited to the end of the Qing Dynasty during the Xuande period, and there was the Xuande furnace, a well-known incense utensils, and then withered with the Opium War and the decline of national power. Some of the incense masters were exiled to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and some survived. After the reform and opening up, Chinese incense began to flourish, and the number of participants gradually increased, and Chinese incense has always been admired by Mr. Shi Deyi, the master of incense, and Mr. Xu Tinghe, the founder of Zhongxiangtang, and the two masters restored the costumes, utensils and rituals of the Han and Tang dynasties from ancient books.

China's incense culture pays more attention to the inner cultivation, is a rich spiritual level of culture, attaches importance to the cultivation and maintenance of the body and mind, can be described as health and nourishment, the whole incense process reflects the profound, euphemistic, subtle Chinese culture, is a process of the unity of man and nature. China's traditional incense science is based on "harmony" as the core, and the pursuit is the comprehensive effect of "aroma" on people.

Japanese incense is borrowed from the methods and methods of incense incense in the Tang and Song dynasties, but the inner pursuit is different from the process of incense and the connotation of incense. Modern Japanese incense is based on the original incense material "incense wood", which attaches great importance to "fragrance", and expresses "incense" gorgeously through clothing, handicrafts and other means, and has more ingredients for entertainment and performance.

The ten types of incense are the basis of the group of incense. Any form of group incense is the result of a variation of incense. Here's how:

1.First of all, choose the base incense. 2.

Use three kinds of incense with the same base incense to try the incense. 3.Divide each of the three incense into three parts, for a total of nine parts.

In addition, add a fragrance that has not been tested with tremor and incense, a total of 10 servings. Then shuffle the order 4According to the fragrance, the participants of the ceremony determine which kind of incense is used in the incense test, and guess the majority of the incense.

There is also a clear coarse incense ceremony, a famous group of incense. The group of incense must use more than two types of incense, based on the literary work and the poet's emotion, which is already reflected in the creation of the incense. For example:

"Ancient and modern incense" must be composed of three parts: warbler, frog, and song, so we must first choose three kinds of incense to represent warbler, frog, and song. Divide the incense representing the warbler and the frog into five packets, and first take any of them to participate in the incense test. People who smell the "ancient and modern incense" must reflect the poems in the "Ancient and Modern Collection" (ancient poetry collection) in their minds, adding poetry to the incense.

Today, there are more than 700 methods of incense formation in Japan, and each group of incense is an extremely complex combination. It can be said that Japanese incense is closely related to literature.

The aroma and smoke shape created by the smoking, spreading, and spraying of spices create a pleasant, comfortable, and serene atmosphere. With the artistic incense props, the layout of the living environment of the incense ceremony, the enrichment of the knowledge of the incense ceremony, coupled with the elegant and beautiful incense lighting and smelling techniques, through the above triggering memories or associations, the relevant literary, philosophical, and artistic works are created. A practice method that makes people's lives richer and more interesting is called incense.

In addition to the agarwood incense products that we have been agarwood all the time, there are also some incense products made of pure plant spices, which we call Hexiang. In Japan, incense calls it "lavender". People use these unique and fragrant incense products to smoke the room and improve the ambient air.

They also use these incense products to dye their own clothes to achieve the effect of incense.

Incense was introduced to Japan from the Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen crossed to the east, and the incense festival mentioned many times in the Japanese classical masterpiece "The Tale of Genji" is to describe the appearance of the nobles learning from the "Tang people", and often hold "incense meetings" or incense appreciation meetings called "incense competitions". This is also a custom formed by the incense of the Tang Dynasty and the edification of "Japanese wind". In the 6th century, Kyoto entered the Higashiyama culture era, and with the support and protection of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who was proficient in his skills, the foundation of incense in today's Japan was largely laid.

Kodo is a traditional Japanese art. The incense ceremony, along with the flower arrangement and the tea ceremony, is called the "elegant way" in Japan. The Japanese custom of smelling incense originated in China, where it was long ago customary to burn incense for bathing, women to use incense bags, and to burn incense in temples.

Japan was the first to copy these customs, but due to the different living environments and conditions, the use of incense in daily life was not promoted, and only the burning of incense in temples flourished. "Ignite the sorrow of my life, in exchange for a trace of your understanding", industry representative Hong Sendao concluded.
