Many people know that incense started from worshipping Buddha, but incense was first used for treating diseases, not worshipping Buddha. Legend has it that Leizu's father was ill and dared not take medicine. Filial Lei Zu grinds traditional Chinese medicine into powder and makes it fragrant, so that his father who is sick in bed can smell the fragrance and recover, which is a much-told story. This is the origin of incense.

Because ancient "incense" was used to treat diseases, natural materials must be used, so incense ashes can be eaten, which may be a very important factor in the connection between incense and God. Nowadays, chemical essence has become the main raw material for making incense. In Taiwan Province Province, this kind of inferior incense has long been rejected. On the other hand, most domestic products still smell like this, and the price is still very high.

As long as there are people from China, there is "fragrance". In fact, almost all human beings are related to "fragrance" to some extent. Islam and the Arab world consume an amazing amount of agarwood every year. China's incense originated in the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Gekongming of Shu Han was a fan. Vietnamese incense was inherited from Shu Han and returned to France with some elegant fragrance during the French rule. French people use natural flowers such as jasmine and lavender to grind them into powder and make incense. Japanese incense was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and now it is Japanese incense, and artistic taste has become the quintessence of the country. Incense is very popular in hot springs in southern England. After washing the hot springs, the British will light a fragrance to relieve fatigue and anxiety. Germans light incense not as a religious tradition, but to relieve pressure. Now it is quite popular in Europe and America, and it has become a fashion, but the materials and practices are not the same. In some backward areas of India, Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar, the amount of incense is also very large, but almost all of them are inferior chemical flavors.

Now, more and more scholars, artists and scholars at home and abroad have upgraded the level of incense, which has become a life taste and an elegant taste. It has been interpreted as "aromatherapy, woody therapy" and other health care functions, and it seems to be in the same strain as the ancient original medicinal incense, becoming more and more refined and diversified. As the birthplace of "fragrance" and a powerful country in the world, China can't keep up with the trend in this respect, and it really depends on the concerted efforts of Qi Xin.
