Reflection on the name of bamboo stick fragrance: The fragrance with bamboo sticks is called bamboo stick fragrance, also known as stick fragrance. Its characteristic is that it is relatively long. Bamboo stick incense is similar in appearance to thread incense, but thread incense does not have a bamboo wood core. The bamboo and wood core of the incense stick runs through the entire stick, and some of it is wrapped in fragrance powder to prevent the stick from being too long, bent, or broken; The bamboo sticks exposed outside the fragrant powder are called bamboo fragrant feet.

Bamboo stick incense and string incense were popular in the late Tang Dynasty. Bamboo stick incense was mainly used in the southern regions and temples during the late Tang Dynasty. Due to the high rainfall and humid air in the south, it was not convenient to use incense sticks. In recent years, some people in the north have also been using bamboo stick incense (referring to household incense), and it is strictly said that bamboo stick incense is not ancient. Because ancient people believed that burning a good incense stick would destroy the fragrance and function of the entire stick due to the smoke produced by the stick. Therefore, in ancient times, people in the imperial palace and practitioners did not need bamboo sticks as incense sticks.
From another perspective, ancient people said: in the south, the water is shallow and the soil is thin, making it easy for people to wander around, so the fragrance of the south carries its feet; In the northern regions, the water is deep and the soil is thick, and people are kind and generous. They like to leave roots (which commonly refers to passing on the family line and incense), so in the northern areas, incense is made without bamboo feet. Therefore, for those who are very picky about using incense, string incense is still the first choice. However, with the development of the times, bamboo stick incense has not only been widely used in temples, but also gradually used by some people to offer sacrifices to Buddha at home. In order to better convey meaning through incense, it is particularly important to choose a natural and chemical free bamboo stick incense.
