The traditional Chinese nation has the tradition of respecting God to burning incense,Sacrifice to respect God and respects ancestors,Can't live without incense。From the royal family to the people,Use of incense,Wide for a long time,Become a deep -rooted cultural phenomenon。

The cultural phenomenon in the world is associated with the generated geographical environment。Culture with incense as a symbol,There are different choices in different regions。Examine Wanxiang Culture,The regional nature of our Lingnan culture、Look at the uniqueness,It is naturally that the appearance of Wanxiang culture in Lingnan is natural、A logical thing。A scholar named Lu Xiang (1402 & mdash; 1468) in the Ming Dynasty wrote in "Zhou Zhi": & ldquo;,Weixiang Strange。& rdquo; meaning to say,Many objects in Dongguan are not different from other places,The difference is incense。According to my eighteen years in Dongguan,Dongguan can also count lychee、Longan, etc.,But the product that can rise to the cultural level should be used as a well -scent。

The reason why we use Wanxiang as a cultural phenomenon to study,It is because it exceeds bet365 Play online games the concept of simple local specialties。All things that can be associated with culture,It must have a general value recognized for humans,Otherwise it will not pass a long time。The cultural value of Guanxiang is:

First,Guanxiang History Source is far away。Quoting two folk legends here。Legend has it during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty,Famous Xiangnong Tangmao Cai to touch the black tree early all year round,Daughter Tang Xiuxiang burns water every day to accompany his father。Tang Maocai loves women heartpiece,Select the best tooth fragrance collection,Wait for daughter to make dowry when she is out of the cabinet。After the daughter is married,,Burn the tooth incense every morning to watch the feelings of my father。The neighbors heard this fragrance and came here,Learn the reason,widely spread。Shangpin incense & ldquo; daughter incense & rdquo;,Passing so far。Actually,The fragrance history of Dongguan can be traced back to a farther age。Hong Kong,In the first year of Ming Wanli (1573),& ldquo; I have always named the fragrance & rdquo; ("Yongle Ceremony" Volume 17。That is to say,The history of Wanxiang can be traced back to the Ming Wanli years,As early as the Tang Dynasty, there were a lot of fragrant wood planting and transactions,Otherwise, Hong Kong will not be named in fragrant。

Second,Wanxiang culture has a wide influence。1997 bet365 live casino games Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland,People have more and more convenient opportunities to study Hong Kong's humanistic history。In the Museum of History of Hong Kong,People discovered,Hong Kong in the Han and Tang Dynasties belongs to Dongguan County。By early in Xianhe,Now Dongguan、Baoan、Shenzhen、Zhuhai、Zhongshan、Hong Kong、Macau was originally a place connected by the sea,All belong to Nanhai County。The person in power finds that this seaside can be exposed to salt,And the salt is particularly good,I ordered a Du Captain to take care of this。This Du Weiyin is in the east,So called Dongguan。Dongguan Pipe Salt,Short salt needs to be packaged。Because packaging salt requires a packaging material,At that time, a kind of grass called Guanwan at the time was particularly welcomed,Can be used to make grass bags and straw mats,durable and strong。So this place is easy to name Dongguan in the Tang Dynasty to Germany for two years,Li County,Termid Dongguan、Baoan、Shenzhen、Zhuhai、Zhongshan、Hong Kong、A large place in Macau。

Dongguan out of the salt、Guanwu,More Guanxiang。Introduction to the Tang Dynasty,Planting in all parts of Lingnan。But people discovered,Dongguan's Wanxiang is the best,Quality is the best,The first -class incense that can be used for the royal family。So,Wanxiang is listed in batches from Bet365 app download sporadic products,Dongguan has a well -known Lingnan Xiangshi。With the increase of Wanxiang value,Those who trafficking incense and Xiangxiang will become more prosperous。

The history of Wanxiang is the cultural history of Dongguan people、Business History、History of exchange、History of Life,Wan Xiangshu itself experiences suffering、The stubborn and practical quality and the noble temperament and the spiritual appearance of Dongguan people are very consistent。The loss of culture does not mean the thorough disappearance of culture,The cultural factor of Wanxiang is still hidden in the memory of the people。

third,Wan Xiang's spiritual meaning deep。Usually I heard that Wanxiang is precious,But when we find Wanxiang Tree,It is found that there is no big difference from other trees,Turning around the tree, I can’t smell how much the fragrance can be heard。Repeated research,People discovered,The character of Wanxiang and Plum Blossoms is the same,without wind frost,No revealed incense; without a hundred battles,Not sophisticated。Why do you say that? Because the fragrance of Wan Wan is not easy to appreciate。It must pass through many storms of tempering,Even thunderbolt torture、insect erosion ants can only produce incense。People who take the incense for several generations tell us,This Wan incense grows from incense seedlings to incense trees for seven bet365 Play online games or eight years or even longer to pick incense。

It is hard to see rainbow without wind and rain,It must not be real -fragrant without chiseling,This is the strange quality of Wanxiang。One Wanxiang,continues to grow after taking the wooden incense,It will be improved every few years every few years。Wanxiang Yue Yue Meridian Wind and more spiritual,Many century -old trees,Live still,Xiangqian is still。When the fragrant is bold,The incense born has become Shangpin & mdash; & mdash; agarwood。

The reason why Agarwood becomes a boutique in Wanxiang,Because it puts it into the water, it sinks into the bottom。The ancient sayings often said & ldquo; Shen Tanlong Musk & rdquo;,refers to agarwood。Agarwood incense elegant,Since ancient times, it has been listed as the first of the fragrance。Agarwood is hard to,Generally there will be no agarwood in the Guanxiang tree that does not grow for decades.。Music incense trees for decades,Once agarwood is growing,It is not wood but a seborrheic glands。Because the incense tree trunk is invaded by fungi,Under the action of enzymes of the bacteria,Starch stored in thin -walled cells in the trees produced a series of changes,Finally formed a bastard,A agarwood has been formed after many years of deposition。Due to the short -year -old incense tree resin gland,Generally, only more than decades of incense bet365 best casino games tree can form agarwood。

The value of Wanxiang is itself,But,It has a higher value lies in the guidance of people's spirit。Wanxiang is a plant、A tree,A precious medicinal material,It is a spiritual realm。Agarwood from Wan Xiangsheng、Daughter incense,Enter the palace、Temple、When the smoke furnace of the house is lit,Its clouds and fog give people the soothing function of dispel evil spirits。Dang Agarwood Cleaner Roset、Buddha statues, etc. are used for ritual Buddha、When meditation meditation,Its tranquility brings peaceful ingredients。When the quality and spirit of Wanxiang have become the realm of people's pursuit,Wanxiang is not a plant in nature,but it has the significance and value of symbolic。

To sum up,Wanxiang is a wonderful work in Chinese incense,Is the cultural brand left by history for us,is a cultural heritage left by the ancestors to future generations。Wanxiang culture is a valuable resource of Chinese cultural characteristics。Wanxiang's spirit is the Chinese nation who does not sink、Do not give up、Said defeat、Symbol of maintaining the spirit of pioneering forever。
