2 Bai Qinan

The number is the least, only heard but witnessed. It is said that it has a special taste, soft texture, unparalleled smell and lasting fragrance. It makes people feel numb, but it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable, and the price is extremely high. White chess may refer to green chess with green knots, that is, Qin 'an, a log with green chess components. Ying Ge's green mature knot (commonly known as green chess) is the rarest. Qin 'an section is dark green, with more green and less yellow, and the layers are as light green as oriole feathers, which is very fragrant. If you use a censer to appreciate its taste, it should be the top enjoyment of smell.

Blue knot (commonly known as purple chess or honey chess) is light green and black, sweet and characterized by sticky teeth. The layer is like a petal, and the inner layer is as beautiful as a flower heart, which is generally called Douglas fir. Soft texture, the tongue will feel numb and sticky, and the burning will be mellow and lasting. The golden knot (commonly known as yellow chess) is yellow in color and should be a green chess smaller than junior year. The oily part is more yellow than green, but it smells good, but it doesn't last. The color is slightly green and black with yellow, and the fragrance is soft. It will be numb when tested, but the quality can't be compared with that of Qing Qin 'an, which may or may not be submerged.

If it is yellow, its fat part is yellowish brown, which may be light purple chess (so it is commonly known as red chess), and its fragrance is mainly sweet. Among the excellent exotic plants in red soil in Fu Sen, it can sometimes be found that the exotic plants with soft and cool taste should be sugar-coated haws. The color is reddish brown luster. The iron knot (commonly known as black chess) is slightly hard black and all greasy. Its oil is hard, its taste is mostly cool, and its fragrance is not lasting. However, black chess can still be found in living Daphne plants. It is the cheapest in Qin 'an, so it is often used by Chinese medicine.

No matter what color nanmu is, as long as it is soft, fragrant, oily, less water and less impurities, it is Qinan. Nanmu with soft texture, high proportion of oil and the best fragrance will not sink, but should be semi-sinking and semi-floating. Remember that nanmu's oil is soft, absolutely cheap and not delicious, and the best nanmu is definitely expensive in gold.

Aquilaria sinensis is a peculiar wind tree, which will automatically repair itself after being damaged by some trees. There are many kinds of agarwood. Different methods of making incense, different producing areas and different soil qualities will produce different agarwood. Among them: water sinking, soil sinking, shedding, ant leakage, ant leakage (insect leakage) hanging upside down, and so on. . . But the highest rank of agarwood is Qin An. Often Qinan agarwood is not known as the diamond in agarwood.

Qinnan agarwood has a variety of fragrance, leisurely and elegant, and lasting fragrance. Modern science can't imitate its fragrance. It is an excellent spice for health preservation, with high medicinal value and wide uses.

"Qinan" is the top grade of agarwood. It is said that if there are holes in Daphne family trees, they will attract ants to live in them, and some trees will be scented with honey. An expert in Taiwan Province Province once described its uniqueness as follows: "Chimonanthus was found in Aquilaria sinensis, which may be left after death, or it may be that part of Chimonanthus was picked from the whole Aquilaria sinensis. Agarwood is hard, while moistening nan is soft. The grease secreted by a good Qin 'an is easily scraped or scratched by nails. Ok, Qin' an cuts the thin slices at the entrance, and you can feel the spicy hemp in the fragrance. If you chew it with sticky teeth, it is regarded as the top grade, and its crumbs can be kneaded into pills. "

Some people think that "Qi Nan" is a fragrant block made of nanmu. In fact, "Qinan" is a Sanskrit transliteration, which means temple and is also translated as "Galo". In Luoyang, Galand should be synonymous with "Galand", probably because this top grade agarwood is named after the offerings of the nobles in the temple.

Anecdotes and fairy tales

Art and so on, among which the records of incense are more interesting.

After the long-term evolution of underground rainwater, the efficiency of Aquilaria sinensis is extremely high. In order to fully obtain nutrients, its root system develops downwards. It is a weakly positive tree species with deep roots and low fertilizer content. Aquilaria sinensis generally grows below the altitude of 1050 meters, and there are traces of Aquilaria sinensis at the altitude of 1450 meters in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Compared with its distribution area, there are more agarwood trees that have evolved and grown near the North Ring Road. The following is the climate description of the growth and distribution area of Aquilaria sinensis:

Size=+0] 1。 [size=+0] Annual average temperature 19 to 25 degrees Celsius.

The average temperature in January is 13 degrees Celsius.

The average temperature in July is above 30 degrees Celsius.

4. The annual rainfall is 1600 to 2400 mm..

5. The relative humidity is 80% to 90%

Aquilaria sinensis likes red soil or mountain yellow soil with thick soil and loose soil temperature and humidity, among which deciduous compost recovered in Taiwan Province Province is an essential and effective fertilizer for Aquilaria sinensis. The weak sun of agarwood is often mixed with Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Olive and Huang Tong in Taiwan Province Province. Due to the young age of weakly positive tree species, it is resistant to shading of other tree species, and it grows faster and faster from the eleventh year, with an average annual growth height of 90 cm. It blooms from March to April every year, with elegant aroma and ripe fruit from August to September. Its seed life is short, so it should be harvested and sown immediately. After the buds are unearthed, the seeds can be transplanted when the height of the seedlings is more than 30 cm. Aquilaria sinensis is an evergreen tree of Aquilaria, with a height of 30 meters. Young branches are silky, leafy, slightly leathery, oval, needle-shaped, needle-shaped or inverted-needle-shaped, 5.5-9 cm long, with a tapering tip, green seeds, brown-black seeds, oval, and a tail appendage about twice as long as the seeds at the base. The flowering period is March-April, the fruit period is May-June, and the fruit is ripe and dropped in August-September. At present, it has been successfully cultivated in China.

Aquilaria belongs to Aquilaria of Thymus. All agarwood products can come from 8 species, only distributed in Southeast Asia.

This is a good example, which can be said to be a good example.

distinguish

In general, Phoebe bournei is deposited by hollow and prolific agarwood or agarwood buried in the soil for a long time. The highest grade of agarwood is nanmu, and agarwood is the highest grade of incense. Therefore, Phoebe bournei's position in spices is equivalent to diamonds in plants. Because of its high medicinal value, agarwood can be used to make high-grade perfume and health-preserving incense, which has been one of people's hobbies since ancient times.

Therefore, there are more and more fakes of Daphne, so how should we identify the true and false Aquilaria sinensis when buying it? This is very important for our consumers, especially those who plan to collect Qin 'an agarwood, so they should know more about it. Therefore, Professor Liu Liangyou combed the literature, visited many countries and cultural relics that produce fragrant wood and spices, and held fragrant banquet ceremonies and scenes, striving to find the root of China's long fragrant culture. He has been devoted to the study of incense culture for more than 20 years. He is a master of Xiangxue and is known as the first person to revive Xiangxue in modern China. At the invitation of Shanghai Museum, I did a special research work to excavate and sort out the incense culture in China. He has written many historical books, such as Lingtai Aquilaria sinensis, the way to taste incense, the code of incense society, and the collection of Aquilaria sinensis Museum. Qin 'an Aquilaria sinensis summarized the identification experience as follows:

First, from various records and numerous teaching materials, it is said that agarwood generally has no fragrance at room temperature, even if it has fragrance, sometimes it does not. What you want to smell, what you don't want to smell. Generally speaking, you can smell the fragrance directly only if you make it artificially and have been in Daphne for more than 50 years. A good agarwood will give off a faint fragrance as long as it is heated quickly in your hands, and it will give off a whole day's fragrance after half an hour, even if you wash your hands. Aquilaria sinensis will change its weight with the influence of climate, and Qin 'an will become soft and hard with the change of climate.

Secondly, there has always been a saying that putting agarwood in a bag full of water and then sealing it will make the fragrance come out. This statement has been tried, but it is not realistic. Instead, put agarwood in water, and it will give off a faint fragrance when it is lifted. Natural agarwood will definitely have more than two different colors and structures. Qin An will feel very gentle to the touch, and the grease is not particularly obvious. Most of them have some irregular horizontal stripes and S-shaped grease lines.

Third, natural agarwood is elegant, sweet and lasting. It won't taste like medicinal materials. The general fragrance has the taste of medicinal materials, mostly medicinal agarwood. That kind of incense is generally not used for health care, and it is not very good for the body. All along, the fragrance is elegant and fragrant. Qin 'an has a strong fragrance, and there will be several different fragrances to make you feel comfortable and natural. Most of the shapes of Qin 'an Aquilaria sinensis are very strange, and many people will misread and miss them in these places, which is the key to Qin 'an Aquilaria sinensis identification. According to records and other teaching materials, compared with many kinds of nanmu, nanmu agarwood is mostly animals and plants such as eagle, mouse and snake. It was deposited by factors such as long-term alcoholization and oil pollution coverage. It is said that it is difficult for ordinary nanmu to produce pearls. Let's discuss the characteristics of nanmu agarwood. Strange agarwood, its quality is really aloof. Such as the firmness of gold, the embellishment of beautiful jade, the hardness of crane bones and the handsomeness of loose knots. It's all in the paste, and one hand is enough. In contrast, in Zhancheng (Vietnam today), agarwood had to be used to light a fire or smoke mosquitoes. Ah, this agarwood mountain is like a hill, and its high and steep appearance is gratifying. It's like a miniature Taihua Mountain, leaning on the sky, and it's also like a beautiful mountain peak of Xiaogushan.

Classic of Materia Medica: Aquilaria sinensis is born in the yang and has the essence of rain and dew, so it is fragrant, pungent and non-toxic. Thick gas and thin taste, rising and falling, yang also. Enter the Yangming meridian, Taiyin meridian and Shaoyin meridian, and start with Shaoyin meridian and Jueyin meridian. Classic treatment of patients with toxic swelling of feng shui, that is, edema caused by toxic wind, wind is yang evil and depressed in meridians. When it is incited by fire, it will emit all kinds of toxins, and agarwood will get the essence of rain and dew, so it can remove the poison of wind and fire. In the case of edema, the spleen hates dampness and likes dryness, and the pungent fragrance enters the spleen and the edema will disappear on its own. All evil spirits must enter through the mouth and nose, which is the trick of Yangming. The deficiency of Yangming makes evil spirits easy to enter, while the fragrant and yang-clearing qi eliminates evil spirits and calms the spleen and stomach. Simple mistake: Aquilaria Resinatum is an important drug for treating cold, adverse qi, qi stagnation and qi stagnation. However, we should avoid the deficiency of qi and the failure of qi to return to yuan. Those who have real evil in the heart meridian should avoid it. If it's really a door failure, it's not suitable for the next coke as medicine.

Materia Medica: pungent in taste and slightly warm in gas. Yang Ye. Poison also. Solid submerged, burning extremely clear, hence the name agarwood. Ink publishing house: cloud: agarwood protects qi activity and is a top-grade medicine. Now many people take medicine with island medicine, which leads to qi stagnation. If they walk alone, they will be weak. If combined with other drugs, the effect is slow and beneficial. The rest of the medicine has no prescription.

Materia Medica is elegant: heavy, qualitative, fragrant and smelly, covered with soil and crops, and the crops are sweet, so it is sweet and fragrant, so it should enter the spleen. Spleen is sweet, spleen is smelly, and spleen is millet. If the soil loses its yellow body, if it is used reasonably, the salty taste can be removed, the yang of spleen and soil can be divided into drugs, and the prescription can also be treated. The above certificate names need not be interpreted, but judged. The Lord clears the throat and benefits the people, that is, the child makes the mother solid. If the top is solid and the bottom is empty, as the name implies, it is cold and hot. Failure to serve the joints will cause intestinal obstruction, which is also a specific death. The first turn is added. Shen takes practice as the purpose, while Qi takes practice as the body. Used in the body, used in concrete, showing yin and yang, tandem, can be tacit understanding.

"medicinal properties": agarwood, bitter in taste, warm and non-toxic, enters the kidney and life gate. The main evil, cholera, tonic five internal organs, beneficial essence, strong Yuanyang. Except air conditioning, hypochondriasis, itchy skin and bad skin.

Press: Aquilaria Resinatum belongs to Yang, which is heavy in nature and contributes more to the lower part, so it commands the kidney to enter it. However, if the fragrance is too dry, it will hurt the blood, which is suitable for those with deficiency and chilling heart. Water is weak and fire is strong, water is dry and fire is strong, and disasters are endless. At present, many people think that Taiping medicine is harmless to people and needs to be used to transform qi, but it does not harm people.

Ben Feng Jingyuan: Warm in nature, grasping the nature of pure yang in the south, specializing in transforming qi, suitable for those who are stagnant. Those who are warm but not dry, do not drain, support the spleen and kidney, fire back to the source, control the deficiency and secret of the large intestine, urinate with gas, and cough up blood in the spleen need medication. Cholera is evil for those with sudden pain in the heart, and the qi is adverse and short of breath, so it should be treated with wine. Sanjiao who has a bad cold should take pills. Combined with Pogostemon cablin and Rhizoma Cyperi, it can treat deficiency, cold and heat; Combined with clove and cinnamon, it can treat stomach deficiency and hiccup; It can be used with Perilla frutescens and Cardamom to treat stomach cold and vomiting. Poria cocos and ginseng can cure mental deficiency; Tongchuan pepper, cinnamon, cure life door fire decline; Combined with Radix Aucklandiae and Rhizoma Cyperi, it can cure women who are forced to enter the room or who are too tolerant of urine to turn to cells.

Use agarwood to reduce qi and disperse knots, and take it to disperse qi. Black tin Dan uses it and takes it back to the yuan. However, if you drop more and rise less, you should not take more. Every time I eat for a long time, I can't breathe, my face turns yellow, and I eat less.

Seeking truth in materia medica: tonifying fire, reducing qi and returning to kidney. Aquilaria sinensis specializes in life and strengthening the spleen. Effort is warm, weight is black, and it won't float in the water. Therefore, books can reduce qi and eliminate phlegm; The fragrance of qi can disperse, so books can replenish fire, warm essence and strengthen yang. Therefore, it should be judged by heart pain, mouth poisoning dysentery, bad addiction, cold wind paralysis, gas dysentery and gas strangulation, and cold characters. If the cause is deficiency cold, it can be used to treat diseases. Cover with something warm but not dry, and don't drain it. Adding Pogostemon Fragrans and Cyperus rotundus can cure all kinds of deficiency, cold and heat, and women can resist entering the room or urine to make their cells unable to rotate. With cloves and cinnamon, it will cure the decline of life and fire; It works with cistanche deserticola and centaur to treat deficiency and secret of large intestine. The ancient prescription of four grinding drinks, sinking aroma pills, rolling pills to reduce diarrhea; Use agarwood to reduce qi and disperse knots, and take it to disperse qi; It's black tin pill. Give it back to Yuan. However, those who drop more than one liter and sink due to qi deficiency should be avoided.

Ying Ben Cao: Be sure to avoid fire. Hard, warm. Enter the kidney. Treat cold and heat, dispel wind and edema, detoxify, dispel ghosts and furuncles, dissipate stagnation, reduce phlegm and qi. Treat vomiting and diarrhea, dredge meridians and dispel cold and dampness. If you get woody, you can't cure the cells. Assisting cistanche deserticola in treating deficiency and secret of large intestine; Rehmannia glutinosa can accept qi and return to kidney. It is contraindicated for patients with qi deficiency, yin and blood failure, water deficiency and fire inflammation.

Herbal classics: pungent, bitter and warm. Enter the right kidney. Warming essence to help yang, warming middle energizer to calm liver, lowering qi and promoting fluid production. Falling energy can rise, so it is also air conditioning. Yin deficiency should not be used.

Herbal speculation: kidney-yang deficiency, phlegm and saliva in water, asthma in fire. Aquilaria sinensis is hard, dark and heavy, and it can bring fire and water to the earth and return to the kidney when taken. If the smell of qi is warm, it can warm the kidney and regulate qi, that is, if the urine wets the qi and the large intestine is closed, it can also communicate instead of venting. Although agarwood is used to promote qi, its function is to reduce qi, but all diseases in qi can still run in the middle without stagnation. If Guntan Pill is assisted by Aquilaria Resinatum to treat excess heat and old phlegm, you will know that Aquilaria Resinatum is also deep. Incense prevents diseases, and the first choice for health preservation is mostly used to treat diseases that are already sick, while incense prevents diseases that are not sick. In fact, the function and significance of conditioning nature and self-treating diseases are far greater than treating diseases, just like keeping in good health is to strengthen the body and prevent problems before they happen.

Acquired diseases can be cured by good doctors, but the overall harm of diseases to human nature is actually difficult to cure. In modern physical therapy, there is often a phenomenon of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. Treating one disease leads to many diseases, leaving unknown fatal hidden dangers. The incense made according to the requirements of traditional incense medicine can not only directly act on the core monument of human life, but also properly block the spread and spread of diseases. Many famous incense in history have proved this unique effect in practice, often with a faint fragrance, which can not only prevent problems before they happen, but also make people happy and stay away from diseases, reflecting real humanistic care.

There are two main reasons why incense has a good disease prevention effect. One is: based on the theory of yin and yang, fragrant medicine is born from pure yang, which has the function of strengthening the body resistance, eliminating evil and generating yang; Secondly, aroma plays a special role in the maintenance of Yangming meridian. Yangming meridian point is the sea of yang biochemistry and the main road of yang movement, which is very important to human health. Many diseases are directly related to Yangming Meridian, which is called "Long Mai" of human body.

Many Chinese medical classics, such as Huangdi Neijing, have also discussed it, such as: "Yang Ming deficiency leads to malnutrition of the heart and spleen, and blood is not born", "Yang Ming deficiency leads to relaxation of bones and muscles, so the hands and feet are flaccid and useless", and "Yang Ming meridian deficiency leads to cold entering the outside, which makes people's mouth and eyes skewed, insensitive, convulsive, epileptic and convulsive. Investigate its reason, "Yang Ming deficiency, evil is easy to enter. "The mouth and nose are the orifices of Yangming meridian points and the main portal for human body to prevent diseases.

The direct effect of incense on human body is to maintain Yangming meridian, make Yangming meridian reach a healthy state, and always retain the ability to resist "external evils" to achieve the goal of non-invasion of external diseases. Therefore, the ancients regarded incense as a good medicine for health, and they could not do without it for a moment. There are also many examples of using incense to prevent influenza, plague and other infectious diseases in history.
