Traditional incense-making techniques are intangible cultural heritage items
—
A few days ago, my friend Xuan went to Zhipu Xiangtang to visit Teacher Yin Hai.
Recently, the weather in Mianyang has been a little cold, and Teacher Yin Hai has boiled a pot of tangerine peel old white tea and lit a newly formulated Yuan Qi incense to add some warm breath to the cold of this winter.
Drinking tea and tasting incense for a moment, his friend Xuan stared at the rising Yuan Qi incense, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked Teacher Yin Hai, "Why do you burn incense in a room that is completely windless, and the smoke of the incense will change back and forth?" ”
At that time, the incense room of Zhipu Xiangtang was sealed with one of the original two windows for the sake of incense tasting, and today due to weather reasons, the only window is also sealed, and there should be no wind.
So what is the reason why smoke changes back and forth?
In fact, this phenomenon is a powerful proof that incense has an interrelationship with people. Even if there is no wind, the cigarette of incense will change with people's mood changes, that is, our mind has an invisible force, it will produce a field, this field not only has a certain effect on the incense, in fact, our entire environment has an impact.
Katsuya Emoto, born in 1943 in Yokohama, Japan, is a doctor of medicine, director of the IHM Research Institute, and president of the IHM Friends of International Volatility. Since 1994, he has been photographing and observing water crystals in high-speed photography in cold rooms, and found that water has the ability to reproduce, remember, feel and convey information. The author selected 122 water crystals with different styles and styles, and published "Water Knows the Answer", showing this amazing result to the world.
In this book it is said that when you divide the same cup of water into two cups, say some words of praise to one of them, and always say something cursed to the other. What will happen to the result, the shape of the crystals of these two glasses of water is completely different, and they have similar effects in different languages, which shows what, above the material world as we see with the naked eye, there is also the existence of the information world and the energy world, between our subjectivity and objectivity, there is actually a non-material connection.
Teacher Yin Hai often said that incense is a non-material and non-spiritual product, which is different from some things in nature, where is the difference, incense is the only thing that can nourish the three levels of human and spiritual life, incense not only gathers the energy of nature, but also has a lot to do with its production process.
An incense made in accordance with the ancient method, in the production process, poured a lot of heart and energy into the incense maker, for example, the production process of an ancient incense, first of all, is to pick incense, then a certain kind of incense medicine which time to pick, how to match the incense, incense Its compatibility and Chinese medicine have similarities, that is, when an incense is burning, we see a simple single incense inside, in fact, there are three or five kinds of incense, more than fifty or sixty different kinds of incense.
Different incense, because the efficacy and needs are different, the formula is different. The compatibility of incense is generally according to the principle of Junchen Sasuke, the small incense side is one Jun, three ministers, five Sasuke, and the medium incense fang is one Junwuchen, nine sasuke, and its number is very exquisite, you see one three five nine, must be this number, must be odd. In Chinese magic numbers, even numbers are yin numbers, odd numbers are yang numbers, so 1395, all are yang numbers. After this desynthesis, the final equilibrium energy will be reached.
In fact, many of us now don't know what incense is. Many people buy incense from the market only incense handicrafts, not real incense, so many people in Tibet say that the inland burns fake incense. What is the difference between this, incense crafts seem to be our plastic flowers, it is its form and no quality, will you take plastic roses to send your girlfriend, using this incense not only has no effect, more serious is that the long-term use of incense doped with a lot of chemical ingredients, there is a risk of carcinogenicity.
Teacher Yin Hai advocates that daily incense can be used less, but it must be used with natural incense. For the health of yourself and your family, chemical incense must not be used.
