In traditional Chinese culture, burning incense is a traditional Xi widely used in religious ceremonies, sacrificial activities, and personal self-cultivation.
However, people often encounter a phenomenon known as "severed incense" in the process of burning incense, where the incense burns out suddenly.
A common saying associated with this phenomenon is "burn incense without burning incense", which means that it is best to avoid the sudden extinguishing of incense when burning incense, as it is considered a sign of bad luck and may even be seen as disrespect to the gods.
This statement is also reflected in ancient literature, where the connection between the severed head incense and unfortunate fate is emphasized through lines from some operas.
However, from the point of view of modern science, this claim lacks scientific basis, and the phenomenon of severed head incense is not the effect of supernatural forces, but is related to the material and burning process of the incense.
Among them, the main reasons affecting the phenomenon of broken incense include material problems, combustion process, the influence of accelerants, and the production process of incense sticks.
Vendors may add inferior materials in order to reduce costs, and the burning process of incense sticks is affected by a variety of factors, such as the use of accelerants and the production process of incense sticks.
In order to avoid the severed incense, one can choose a natural-looking incense stick, observe the condition of the cigarette, touch the temperature of the ash and smell the texture of the aroma.
In general, whether the incense burns is broken or not is related to the quality and production process of the incense sticks.
Choosing a high-quality incense stick can reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon.
In addition, the act of burning incense should be respected by personal beliefs and cultural traditions.
When burning incense, people can express their respect for the gods and experience the charm of traditional culture.
