The Japanese literati have long admired Huang Tingjian. Calligraphy is naturally one of the reasons, "Jingfu Bo Shrine", "Li Baiyi Old Travel Poetry Cursive Scroll", "Shi Yizheng Epitaph" and "Pillar Inscription", all of which have been collected by National and Private Museums in Japan.

Another important reason is his super high attainment in the incense path.
When it comes to incense, many people think of Japan, which is with China and water. But strictly speaking, xiangdao is another major cultural treasure that they "stole" from China, and is in the same vein as Chinese incense culture. And Huang Tingjian is not only a Song Sijia and Fenning tea guest, but also a "fragrant fetish". There is a cloud in the "Jia Tianxi Huibao Smoke Beggar Poems and Poems": "Jia Hou Huai Liutao, the family has twelve halves." Talent likes literature, such as I have a perfume fetish. Huang Tingjian's life has ups and downs, but as long as there is incense, whether he is degraded, or in a leaky and noisy residence, his body is often fragrant, and the "fragrant" can not find a trace of miscellaneous smell, followed by peace of mind.

Huang Tingjian is even more partial to agarwood. Agarwood has been the first of all incense since ancient times, and the ancients often said "Shentan Dragon Musk", that is. Huang Tingjian not only tasted agarwood, but also made incense by himself, improved incense and incense burning methods, and he also put forward a short note praising agarwood, "Xiang Ten Virtues":
Feel the ghost god and purify the mind and body
Can remove impurities, can sleep
Quiet friends sneaking around in the dust
More than nothingness
Long-hidden immortality is often used without obstacles
This is his summary of the Ten Realms of Incense, which was introduced to Japan in the 15th century during the Muromachi shogunate era, and was widely spread in the Japanese incense class, and is revered as the soul of the incense path.
