A furnace of sandalwood, light smoke. It can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, when the records of incense were mostly related to sacrifices. So now many people think that China's incense originated from sacrifice, but people just ignore it. In ancient times, incense was more used in life. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, its functions were very extensive, including; Indoor incense, smoking clothes and quilts, cleaning the body and treating diseases. Permanent stoves in public places burn incense, and incense is necessary for literati and dignitaries.
According to my observation, the current incense market is dominated by chemical spices, and it has also become the main raw material of incense, which is widely used because of its low price and fragrant taste. However, people don't know that long-term use is harmful to health, so it's more important to use its Buddha to worship ancestors in ungodly. Because of its precious and natural materials, complex technology and pure manual manufacturing, it has been deeply loved by the masses for more than a hundred years.
Gan Heng has been adhering to the concept of "aroma nourishing" since ancient times. As far as incense is concerned, it is not only used for its fragrance; It also uses its health-preserving function, thus greatly expanding the application of incense in daily life and further guiding the use of incense in life. Make the taste fragrant, enjoy the fragrance with fragrance, and then develop into poetry, Zen, spirituality and health preservation. As far as making incense is concerned, we follow the statutes and pay attention to drug selection, dispensing and prescription, which has a great relationship with the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine. We regard incense as a "medicine" for health preservation, forming a tradition of "homology of incense and medicine". Incense is the most beautiful cultural feeling of human beings, and it is also the most beautiful and exciting peak experience in human life. "Sweet and fragrant." "Xin, the fragrance is in the distance." Fragrant culture is an art.
