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 and string incense are similar in shape, but string incense does not have a bamboo wood core. The bamboo and wood core of the incense stick runs through the entire stick, and the upper part is wrapped in fragrant powder to prevent the incense from being too long, bent or broken; The bamboo stick department exposed outside the fragrant powder is called Zhuxiangjiao.



Bamboo stick incense and string incense were widely popular in the late Tang Dynasty. Bamboo stick incense was mainly used in the south and temples during the late Tang Dynasty. Due to the high rainfall and humid air in the south, it was not convenient to use string incense. In recent years, some people in the north have also been using bamboo stick incense (referring to household incense), strictly speaking, bamboo stick incense is a different ancient tradition. Due to the ancient belief that burning a good stick of incense on bamboo sticks would destroy the fragrance and function of the entire incense, bamboo stick incense was absolutely not used in ancient palaces and by practitioners.



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, due to the deep water and thick soil, people are honest and kind, and they like to leave their roots (which commonly refers to passing on the family line and keeping incense). Therefore, in the northern regions, 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 at home to offer sacrifices to Buddha. In order to better borrow incense and convey meaning, it is particularly important to choose a natural and chemical free bamboo stick incense.
