Features: Everything has faded with the passage of time. The fragrances that arose with and then scattered, the love and resentment born in the fragrance, desires and emotions, stories and figures like orchids and musk. Now, when we recall all this, we are momentarily unable to believe in the reality of this past. However, all those fragrances were once real, and all those emotions and desires were also real, just like the blooming and falling of flowers year after year, which have created the profound shadows of classical painting halls and lingering sentiments. This book begins with artifacts and images related to the customs of incense, as well as poetry, to meticulously describe the folk and cultural backgrounds embedded in fragrant herbs, incense, fragrant essences, incense burners, incense pavilions, and more, as well as their subtle and distant connections to love and affection. It presents readers with a long scroll of ancient fashion. The entire book is organically linked by four parts: "The Art of Incense," "The Beauty of Incense," "The Cuisine of Incense," and "The Residence of Incense," accompanied by over 130 color illustrations, creating a strong visual impact.
