Everything about people is based on spirit, and the strength of spirit depends on the peace of mind. Once the human heart is chaotic, it will be chaotic externally, and it will disturb the qi and blood internally.
Nourishing the heart is the highest state of health, and the ancients often used incense to nourish the heart! Just like a person's appearance is easy to get old, but his temperament is not. Elegant and calm temperament is a heartfelt attitude, and tasting incense is a way to cultivate temperament.
Huang Tingjian, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once summed up the "ten virtues of fragrance", namely: "Feeling ghosts and gods, cleaning the body and mind, brushing away filth, sleeping, being silent as a friend, resting in the dust, being tireless, being less is enough, enduring for a long time, and being often used without hindrance". Tasting incense can calm the mind, stop greed and ignorance in the heart, and step into the realm of peace and happiness.
Huang Tingjian was a famous writer in Northern Song Dynasty.
People who often taste incense must know the elegance and calmness of life.
The taste is fragrant, and the quietness is the heart.
People's love for fragrance is a kind of nature. Smelling incense is not only a kind of enjoyment, but also a kind of physical and mental cultivation. Because what we taste is fragrance, what is quiet is heart, what is enlightened is life, and what is cleansed is soul.
Everyone's life experience and life pursuit are different, and the perception of taste is bound to be colorful. For example, the ancients tasted incense, and they were more open-minded if they broke the world.
Wang Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said, "I am in a room full of things. Ruan Jiaqing under the bed and a bamboo stick in front of the window seem to see through the world of mortals.
Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, said, "A puff of smoke will cool the fire, and you will be idle for the rest of your life", which means that you are indifferent to cigarettes.
Zhu, a philosopher in the Southern Song Dynasty, said: "The sea of flowers is boundless, the smoke is vast, and Lingfen is still a little quiet;" Why should Chuko wear Qiu Pei and sit in it? " Just like meditation.
Since ancient times, burning incense is a way to make people feel natural and peaceful.
Among all the fragrant products, agarwood is the most beautiful. Its fragrance can give people ethereal and quiet enjoyment, and people have always had a special liking for it.
It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi must smoke her bedroom with heavy incense before going to bed every day, and then she can sleep peacefully after smelling the incense. Song Meiling, one of the Song sisters, also likes the sweet life very much. She moved to the United States, gave up a lot of jewelry, and took aloes with her, which shows that she has a high recognition of her ability to "cultivate her mind and cultivate her nature."
The ancients often said "Shen Musk", that is, agarwood, sandalwood, Long Xianxiang and musk, among which agarwood is the most important, and agarwood is also listed as "the first among incense", which has always been at the core of a long-standing incense culture.
Aquilaria sinensis is not a kind of fragrant wood, but a solid condensate of oil and wood components in Aquilaria sinensis and a product of death.
Formation of agarwood
An agarwood tree must grow for more than 30 years, and its resin glands are mature before it can produce agarwood. When the agarwood tree is injured by lightning, knife cutting, insect ants, bee bites, etc. In order to prevent the wound from festering, Aquilaria sinensis will secrete oil in the process of self-repair. After a series of changes in wound infection, it will precipitate for decades or even hundreds of years, forming an aromatic paste-like mass around the wound. This concentrated secretion is agarwood.
That is to say, a piece of agarwood must first go through four steps: growth, damage, oil secretion and fragrance condensation. Finally, after decades, hundreds or even thousands of years of evolution, it forms a fragrant oil with the characteristics of agarwood, which can be called "agarwood".
But not all agarwood trees will be injured, and not all wounds will bear agarwood. All this requires a wonderful opportunity and a long time, so every inch of agarwood is precious.
As early as the song dynasty, there was a saying that "agarwood is one or two, and gold is one or two", and agarwood is known as the "king of incense". In the Ming dynasty, the number of agarwood became less and less, and it has evolved into "one inch of agarwood and one inch of gold". Until modern times, excellent agarwood became more and more scarce. Even today, with the development of science, we still can't artificially synthesize and copy the unique fragrance of agarwood.
Aquilaria sinensis can be divided into water sedimentation and soil sedimentation. Daphne odora is buried in water or wet swamp, and it is "submerged" when it is fished out; Daphne odora fell into the dry soil, and when he dug it out, it was "sinking". The precipitation in water belongs to yin, which is not easy to ignite when used alone, and it is better to eat it by grinding it into fine powder; Soil sinking is an excellent material for making incense, which has better fragrance rhyme and fragrance change than ordinary agarwood incense.
Among them, the red clay agarwood in the soil is known as the "relic in the fragrance", as the saying goes, "a thousand years of agarwood, a thousand years of red soil". Red soil agarwood has been buried in red soil for hundreds of thousands of years, and the wood fiber partially decays naturally and is rich in oil. Like fossils, it has a unique and rich aroma and smells all over the world.
Aquilaria sinensis is the best fragrance to calm people's hearts.
In the five elements of TCM, the heart belongs to fire. Fire is born from the heart, and it is easy to get angry when people move. This is the reason why we often say "getting angry quickly". When people are in a hurry, the fire gets up; As soon as you think about it, the fire will spread outside.
In this process, agarwood is the most calming fragrance, which can be compared with other fragrances.
The fragrance of agarwood is very penetrating, and no other fragrance in the world can bring people a whole-hearted purification like agarwood, making it feel clean and light. Therefore, it is the most popular fragrance-smelling category to relieve mental stress and relax body and mind, and it is also a good medicine for nourishing temperament, eliminating diseases and filth, calming the nerves and keeping mental health.
Therefore, when we are looking for the passion of life in a troubled society, a furnace of agarwood can calm the world down and slow it down.

As the king of incense, agarwood is not only expensive, but also has a huge energy field. Aquilaria sinensis was born in pure yang and is the essence of heaven and earth. It is famous for its unique fragrance that can directly reach heaven, earth and people, and is known as the realm of "pure heart and harmony".
Its fragrance can enter the meridians, enlighten people, nourish the five internal organs, regulate the middle qi, warm the waist and knees, strengthen yang, and make the body circulation smooth, which has magical and incredible health care functions.
The human body itself is equivalent to a high-energy transmitter and receiver, which can receive information between nature and living things. The micro-neural sensing system on the skin surface is like a biological radar, receiving and transmitting "energy".
In traditional Chinese medicine, the transmission of "qi" and "energy" has the same function. "Qi" is the energy in the human body, which is very important for health. Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty put forward that "gas accumulation leads to death". Living is a breath, and it also extends to the noble spirit of cultivating character. Full of qi and blood is the foundation of humanoid gods.
Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty
Moreover, each agarwood also has an energy field and gas field, but the strength is different. When the aroma of Aquilaria sinensis is emitted, captured by human sense of smell and transmitted to the brain, the effective components in Aquilaria sinensis can calm neurons, bring inspiration and spirituality to people, let potential flow spontaneously and unimpeded, perceive and change one's "ability field" with "ideas", show one's spiritual creativity and promote self-realization.
Therefore, burning an agarwood can unconsciously adjust the movement of breath in the human body and dredge the function of the human body. It has the function of soothing the mind and purifying the gas field of the human body, and it is easy for people to enter a peaceful state.

Tu Changqing, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, once concluded: "Those who smell incense are in harmony with sex; It is fragrant and has its own flavor. If you are willful, you will be safe, if you live in peace, you will be wise, and if you live in wisdom, you will be free from dust. "
Although the passage of time will make our faces slowly fade the color of youth, the time of a furnace of agarwood will make people meet different people.
