The Historical Origins of Incense Culture

Incense culture in China has a rich heritage, dating back to the Yin and Shang dynasties, where incense was used in religious rituals and offerings. By the Han and Tang dynasties, it evolved into a symbol of refinement among nobles and scholars, with the practice of "burning incense and sipping tea" reflecting an elegant lifestyle. Over time, the variety of incense expanded, with premium aromatics like agarwood and sandalwood used for meditation, relaxation, and luxury. Later, fruity and floral scents were introduced to enhance moods and create unique atmospheres.
