What is the emphasis on the traditional fragrance-making process? Seek an answer

China traditional incense culture has a long history, which embodies the essence of China's civilization for thousands of years. China traditional incense is based on the traditional culture of China, based on Zhouyi and Huangdi Neijing, combined with the theories of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the twelve meridians and Chinese herbal medicine. After thousands of years of development and evolution, today, China traditional incense has formed a set of strict theoretical system and incense-making technology.

Before making traditional fragrance products, we must first prepare the required raw materials, and the core component is perfume, which determines the characteristics, efficacy, grade and grade of fragrance.

Spices include natural spices and some Chinese herbal medicines. Natural spices, such as agarwood, sandalwood, benzoin, musk, frankincense, Dalbergia odorifera, etc. Chinese herbal medicines, such as polygala tenuifolia, white flowers, rhubarb, angelica dahurica, peony bark, bark diced, etc. Natural spices can basically be classified as Chinese herbal medicines, but Chinese herbal medicines are not necessarily spices.

After the raw materials for making incense are fully prepared, the spices used for making incense need to be compatible and combined. Compatibility in traditional Chinese medicine refers to the selective combination of two or more drugs according to the needs of illness and drug performance, and there will be some interaction between drug compatibility. There are some differences in compatibility and harmony in the process of making incense. It pays attention to the compatibility of medicinal properties and pays more attention to harmony. This theory of harmony comes from the Book of Changes, which pursues the harmony and unity of heaven and earth.

After the compatibility and combination, it is necessary to carry out the blending process, that is, to mix all the spices together. In this link, in addition to the requirements of process ratio, what is more worthy of attention is the order of materials and materials. Clearly define the sequence of different spices, otherwise the efficacy of spices will be counterproductive. For example, to make the fragrance of the book of changes, you must put Kun's fragrance into the sweet fragrance to become too fragrant. If the order is not right, the fragrance will become the fragrance without. The two hexagrams "Tai" and "Wu" are very different in nature, so we must be strict in this link and not do it at will.

After mixing, shaping and drying, it can enter the cellar of fragrant products. Not all incense can be used immediately after packaging. Before the whole process is completed, some incense needs to be sealed and put in the cellar for a period of time. In addition, some incense or incense medicines need to be cellared in the production process.

Different storage methods of incense have great influence on the quality of incense, and different incense should have different storage methods. Moisture-proof, anti-trampling, moth-proof, fire-proof and anti-deterioration are its basic conditions. In order to prevent the mixing of medicinal properties and aroma, it is best to store each variety of spices separately (spices with the same formula and different shapes can be stored together).

Sweet cakes, fragrant pills, balsam and fragrant powder are best stored in sealed porcelain jars, and conditional storage in the cellar is of course a better storage method. It is best to put incense such as thread incense and coil incense in wooden boxes, which can prevent moisture, dryness and loss, avoid deformation and bending, and is also conducive to further blending and long-term preservation of incense.

After long-term storage, the good fragrance will be more pure and peaceful, without impatience, and the fragrance will be more moist and lasting.
