【Qianlong Eleven-year System】

Agarwood is free of Guanyin

Agarwood has always been deeply loved by the Chinese court, especially after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Palace has an orderly management of agarwood, and the source, channel, storage and use of agarwood have formed a relatively complete system. Studies have shown that the main sources of agarwood used in the Qing Dynasty court are the following three ways:

1. Tribute to vassal states. The territory of the Qing Dynasty was unprecedentedly vast, and most of the surrounding countries became its vassal states, among which anglomes-rich countries such as Annam and Siam were among them.

2. Tribute by officials. China's tribute system has always been throughout ancient society. The so-called "tribute" was originally related to the tax system.

3. Purchase. In addition to collecting the tribute agarwood, the Qing Palace will also send special personnel to purchase it for use, and the agarwood cases used in the Qing Palace are purchased and handed over by the Guangchu Tea Treasury Officer who manages the spices.
