It is one of the commonly used incense forms in the north, and it is suitable for many occasions where incense is used. That is, there is no bamboo core incense, also known as straight incense and incense thread, which is generally composed of main material powder and auxiliary binder.

Sacrifice incense as a Buddhist messenger

The fragrance of Buddhism is a foreign word, the original word is Jianda, which is recorded in ancient Indian legends. That is to fuck a woman, just like fucking a woman, but she doesn't eat wine and meat, only wants to eat incense, so as to raise her pussy and give off fragrance from her pussy, hence the name Shen Xiang. Later, it was cited as one of the eight schools of Buddhism. In the sixth year of Renyi Shu, when the Buddha lived, an elder Fu built a sandalwood altar and prepared to invite the Buddha.

He held a censer, looked at the distant garden, and worshipped Brahma Tianxiang. Cigarettes curled up, floated to the garden, and slowly fell on the Buddha's head, forming a fragrant cloud. When the Buddha knew this, he went to the Tantan Temple in China. According to this legend, incense is the medium for disciples to reach the belief of Buddha, so it is called Buddha's envoy in the scriptures. This is also the origin of worshipping Buddha with incense in Buddhism.
