In line with the four seasons, bringing together the fragrance of heaven and earth, the fragrance culture has a long history and unique charm, representing a unique temperament and aesthetic concept. In the course of development with the times, the Chinese's pursuit of "incense" is mixed with respect, poetry and Zen, and gradually forms a special cultural form - incense culture.
Yun Space (Beijing) Cultural Consulting Co., Ltd., established in 2021 and preparing in 2018, will open sectors including cultural and creative, cultural and educational, and cultural tourism. The founder, Ms. Hu Yunjia, adheres to the culture of Ci Shang and builds a cultural landing platform to bring entrepreneurs together and empower together, and has formed a corporate culture with the vision of "establishing a cultural business community that attaches the most importance to the original intention".
Yun Space keenly found that some people are often troubled by various emotions, so they fall into anxiety and confusion and can't extricate themselves, but they don't know what the problem is. In this case, people need to calm their hearts, enrich themselves, and achieve the unity of knowledge and action in order to resolve anxiety. Therefore, Yun Space decided to carry out this activity, through the historical dissemination and personal participation of incense culture, to infiltrate Chinese civilization into various ethnic groups, continue to study, practice, give to others, and promote self-improvement.
According to historical data, various cultural relics (such as drinking smokers) found by archaeology in recent decades show that the ancients had already begun to use incense. Judging from the existing historical materials, Chinese incense culture originated in the pre-Qin period, grew up in the Han Dynasty, completed in the Tang Dynasty, and flourished in the Song Dynasty. The Chinese nation has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs, and the incense culture has accompanied the development of the nation, leaving a rare and precious wealth to future generations.
Incense culture is very knowledgeable: different aromas have different effects on people, people's needs for incense are also different, and the resulting production process, utensils, ingredients and use specifications of various incense are also exquisite.
The ancient method of making incense is to explore and pay tribute to the incense culture through immersive experience of intangible cultural heritage incense making and making exclusive incense cards. Participants can feel the elegance of the life of the ancients, experience the joy of handicraft, the so-called "elegance", and feel the breath of nature and the elegant and pleasant fragrance, the so-called "light distance".
Making incense is an interesting process, the maker can choose their favorite spices, add plant binders such as nanmu powder or angelica angelica to solidify, or choose other their favorite single spices or multiple spices for compound blending, fresh and pleasant without losing fun.
After the spices are solidified, knead the prepared mud in your hands to make it firm until there are no cracks. Makers can choose their favorite mold, fill the incense clay into it, compact it, lightly buckle it on the table, and wait for it to fall off naturally.
When the incense brand is basically formed, it can be moved to a cool place to air dry naturally for 24 hours, and the incense card can be turned over in time to avoid warping caused by uneven drying speed on both sides. After the air drying is completed, you can choose your favorite beads and tassels to decorate, and a fragrance brand that is unique to you is made.
In the process of making incense sticks, participants can not only experience the fun and achievement of manual practice, but also relax and enjoy the fragrance and mellow spice charm.
