"The pond drips plum blossom rain at night, and the ink sits in the city with a petal of incense." When ----- money. The "Champa incense" that made the Song Dynasty poet Qian Shi sit quietly and smell it overnight is the Vietnamese Nha Trang incense that was known as the ancient Champa country in ancient times.
Fragrant supreme Vietnamese Nha Trang fragrance
Xiangyou who are familiar with history know that in ancient times, south of Lingnan, including Liangguang, Hong Kong, and Vietnam were all included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, Hong Kong belonged to Nanhai County, and Hainan and northern Vietnam belonged to Xiang County. According to the "Later Hanshu Ma Yuan Biography": "Aid to the toe, erect the bronze pillar, for the extreme realm of Han." "Fubo General Ma Yuan set up a copper pillar here to remember the merits, the copper pillar is in the area of Quang Binh and Quang Tri in the agarwood producing area of Vietnam today, according to the perspective of the ancients at that time, the national incense should be Hainan incense, Hong Kong incense and jiaotoe incense.
The geographical map of Vietnam is very clear to everyone, the north and south span is very large, the production area of agarwood from the northern end of Ha Tinh Province has been stretching south to the southern end of Binh Thuan Province, such a large span, naturally caused each region of Vietnam agarwood characteristics are not the same, so Vietnam's production area division is also the most, today we first talk about Nha Trang area.

Nha Trang production area is mainly distributed in Vietnam in Dole Province, Khanh Hoa Province, Lam Dong Province, Ninh Thuan Province and Binh Thuan Province, among which Nha Trang, Bang My Thuot, Dalat and other places are famous production areas, Nha Trang more white Qinan, Bang Ma Shu more green Qinan, we will focus on Qinan later, the top existence in agarwood.

Agarwood here is dominated by two subspecies of the family Recheraceae, the honey tree (Aquilaria crassna pienrre ex lecomte) and the Vietnamese agarwood (Aquilaria banaensae). At the beginning of my founding, I visited many countries in Southeast Asia and found that honey trees are widely distributed in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and many other countries in Southeast Asia, and Vietnamese agarwood trees are endemic to Vietnam, just as white wood trees are endemic to the mainland.

The "Southern Grass and Trees" compiled by Jihan of the Western Jin Dynasty recorded that "there is a honey-scented tree with a cross-toed toe, the stem resembles a beech willow, its flowers are white and prosperous, and its leaves are like oranges. "Ji Han's records can be seen that the honey tree is produced in Vietnam, its trunk is like beech willow, the leaves are like orange trees, I once led our fragrant supreme agarwood team to the agarwood production area to do research, consistent with ancient records, which is the obvious characteristics of the crassna tree species.
The Vietnamese agarwood species, which are very different from the tree species, are unique to the ancient Champa region. The ancient Champa Kingdom is the name of the kingdom in the ancient Nha Trang area, which is also known as "Champa Qinan" in ancient and modern China and abroad. This tree species has a very peculiar way of forming incense, which can be oiled in whole pieces, which is difficult to achieve except for the water-holding agarwood species (Aquilaria malaccensis), which is widely distributed in Malaysia and other places.

Agarwood from Nha Trang production area in Vietnam is the best incense in agarwood. I say the same, everyone will understand, the top Qinan in agarwood, basically only Nha Trang on the market, of course, I am talking about natural wild Qinan, can be out of the production area of Qinan can be imagined, even the quality of agarwood is absolutely top.
Nha Trang agarwood aroma characteristics: sweet and beautiful aroma, like freshly cut fruit, the aroma is full of fruit acid, clear and bright, pleasant aroma, smell very pleasant. If it is lit on the stove, it not only has a hint of loofah honey sweet coolness, but also refreshing and elegant.

The aroma of Nha Trang agarwood also has two very important characteristics:
One is its aftertaste, the biggest feature of Nha Trang agarwood taste is its afteraroma, in terms of afteraroma, at the beginning of the smell, it is a sweet aroma, and then the aroma becomes very different. In terms of qi, sweet and strong, the so-called sweet, that is, when we smell, it is comfortable, not the pungent feeling like a chemical perfume, sweet is very easy to understand.
The other is the fragrance of Nha Trang. Closer and farther are compatible. The concept of going far is like this: many spices, including many agarwood from other production areas, will be very fragrant when they are close, but its fragrance is not enough, slightly far away, not clearly smelled or smelled. The fragrance effect of Nha Trang is at a spatial point, because of the airflow, the fragrance can quickly fill the entire space, and even when you open the window while far away, you can still smell the clear fragrance, which is the characteristic of general high-grade incense.

It is precisely because Nha Trang has this characteristic, so we see that most of the agarwood incense on the market contains Nha Zhuang, including our incense supreme, and many cultural and creative incense products contain Nha Trang agarwood. It is also because Nha Trang agarwood has a high degree of alcoholization, and the longer it is placed, the more fragrant it is. It is precisely because of this characteristic of purity and clarity regardless of the aroma, Nha Trang agarwood is respected by Buddhists, and this aroma is especially suitable for cultivation and self-cultivation, which makes people have no distractions.
The current situation of Nha Trang production area: To sum up, it is conceivable that the current situation of excellent Nha Trang agarwood must not be optimistic, because it has been concerned and excavated for a long time, and it has naturally become the earliest endangered production area in Vietnam. At present, the annual amount of fragrance in Nha Trang is very limited, and the high-quality good agarwood produces a few pounds a year, and most of them are shell materials and crushed materials, which are extremely rare and large, and near the water floor, after the incense is generally obtained by large merchants in Singapore, the flow to our country is extremely limited. The picture below shows a piece of Nha Trang material I received many years ago.
