E-BIDDING No. 54丨There are only 50 tubes of "Heart Sutra" incense a year, which is hard to find

China Guardian's 54th online auction "Only Fragrance is Like the Past" special launch "Jiachen Dragon Year Limited "Heart Sutra" incense", due to the scarcity of raw materials, only 50 tubes were made, and 20 tubes were auctioned this time. In addition, there are "vintage incense", agarwood essential oil, agarwood raw materials and agarwood Qi Nan jewelry from various origins. China Guardian's "Only Fragrance is the Same" special session uses wild agarwood, which affects the quality of wild agarwood, in addition to the variety, there is also the time of incense and the time of falling the tree, and for the incense sticks, the aging time is also an important factor. The tasting of agarwood is generally divided into three types: the taste of agarwood, the gas of agarwood, and the medicinal effect of agarwood. High-quality "vintage incense" products are the gas of agarwood and the medicinal effect of agarwood, just like aged Moutai, the older the vintage, the better the aging, and the more comfortable the body.

Gong Tingxian, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, wrote "Four Hundred Flavors of Medicinal Songs", which recorded: Agarwood lowers gas, warms the stomach and chases evil, penetrates the heavens and the earth, and the qi is reversed.

【Translation】

The agarwood flavor is pungent, bitter, and warm. The hard work is bitter and the temperature is discharged, and the medicinal properties are precipitated, which has the effect of lowering the temperature of the stomach and dissipating the cold and eliminating evil. It can treat the panting and vomiting that does not go down and the chest and abdominal distension and pain caused by stomach cold and qi stagnation. The saying "through the heavens and the earth" in the song is to describe that this product can reduce qi and asthma, treat lung qi without lowering, and can warm and help kidney yang and cure kidney qi deficiency and cold. It is more effective for the fullness caused by the loss of kidney intake and the non-decrease of qi reversal.

Perfumer's Notes:

This time, I tried to use a variety of extremely scarce and even endangered spices and complex preparations to depict the scenes of the prince's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree by the Nilian River.

The 30% Fusen soil sink is used as the background, which is deep and sweet; Nha Trang simulates the water of the Nilian River, which is cold but not penetrating; the "bitterness" and "withering" of the wild white chess nan are the external state of the prince at that time, the wild flowers by the river use white ambergris and Bulgarian white roses as the foreground, while simulating a faint trace of imperceptible "soap" to correspond to the prince's bathing, the saffron simulates the back of Su Jiada draped in felt, and the bowl of chyle made of goat's milk, I used the musk deer of Chinese medicine.

The last challenge is sandalwood, which is the main theme of this incense, we tried five or six kinds of tea to make this batch of old materials, and finally used the hundred-year-old fir of Huiyuan Keng to get tired and fishy and depict the Bodhi tree, which is a freehand technique, is people's consensus on the breath of the prince's hometown, and is also the main theme of this incense, warm and noble and full of power.

From the technical point of view of Hexiang, I hope that it is the highest level of "sandalwood", which is a little bit of skin that I can understand the prince's thoughts, silence, impermanence, no sinking and no sandalwood, like a flower but not a flower, empty reincarnation, rising and extinguishing in an instant.

Wuxiang: It is sandalwood, that is, it is not sandalwood, it is the name sandalwood.

Perfumer's Notes:

The Sanskrit word for non-receptiveness is transliterated as "alana", which refers to a state of cessation of troubles and meditation and stillness.

The explosive power of Fussen red clay can break into the depths of the brain in a moment, bringing about the emptiness of only one person standing in the world like "the wild sky is low and the trees are low, and the river is clear and the moon is close to the people", the smell of Nha Trang is entangled with the red clay, and there is a sense of detachment, and the distant memories that open up make people think of the moment and eternity.

Remarks: All wild agarwood is used

Perfumer's Notes:

The core of the method of non-thinking is to see the nature of all things truthfully, and not to develop craving attachment to all things.

The aroma of Fusen red clay is sweet and moist, the ultimate sweetness and coolness of the brain, mixed with a little caramel flavor or the warmth of "roasted sweet potato", which is the memory code precipitated in the distant river of red clay. The calm and suppleness of Nha Trang is like a quiet river meandering through the rainforest, with the weight and solidity of time.

Listening to the mysteries of the rainforest that the red clay has absorbed over hundreds of years gradually reveal when it burns, this is a lonely journey through the heart.

起拍价:RMB 6,000

Vietnamese Fusen red clay agarwood belongs to the Huian series. Phu Sen is the origin of agarwood, originally known as Phu Sen, located in Quang Nam Province in southwest Vietnam. Soil sinking, that is, ripening agarwood, is the agarwood tree injured and incense due to typhoon, lightning or natural death and other external reasons, with the tree body lodging in the swamp or soil, or the roots of the tree died in the soil, the fragrance dug out of the soil is called ripe knot, also called ripe incense. Common soil subsidence includes laterite subsidence, loess subsidence and black soil subsidence. Not all "soil sinking" is called "red soil", red clay agarwood refers to the small production area of Phu Sen, Vietnam, a sentence of "100 years of agarwood, 1,000 years of red soil" is enough to show the value of red clay agarwood. Laterite agarwood comes out of the mountains and forests in the laterite area, the incense material is reddish-brown, and after removing the carrion outside, the wood heart is purple-brown, and it is very difficult to cut it. The largest material of laterite agarwood is no more than the thickness of an arm, and the size of a small goat's horn is already quite precious, even if the carrion on the surface of Rika is shaved, the fragrance is also very strong.

The taste of laterite agarwood gives people the first feeling of mellow and full. The watermelon is sweet and cool, and the flavor explodes instantly when it is smoked, and the fragrance is very strong, and it goes straight to the dantian. If you smell carefully, you will find that the red clay agarwood is mainly sweet, flower and fruit honey fragrance, with a little spicy sweetness, giving people a small surprise that is different from the convention, and the tail rhyme is an aroma similar to almond flavor, the level changes are very rich, refreshing, and unfinished. With the passage of time, the fragrance fades slightly but still lingers, as if the sweet fragrance has penetrated into the body, and the aroma is emanating from the inside.

Malaysian agarwood is one of the representatives of agarwood in the Sin Chew system, and the most unique point is that there is a big difference. The main reason for the difference is the difference in geographical environment, which is why Malaysian agarwood is rich and colorful. Because the geographical location of Malaysia is close to Indonesia, the growth and incense of the incense tree are similar to Indonesia, especially the rare Qi Nan, the oil is mostly dark brown or jet black, the oil line is fine, the oil is rich, the aroma is elegant at room temperature, once it is hot, the oil is very much, and the fragrance is rich.

Malaysia is separated by a strait, West Malaysia (West Malaysia) belongs to the Indochina Peninsula, East Malaysia (East Malaysia) is located in Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, so the agarwood in Malaysia has a great contradiction, West Malaysia agarwood is partial to Hui'an, East Malaysia agarwood is partial to the star continent system.

The overall quality of West Malaysian agarwood is higher, and there are more types, generally speaking, soft silk butter is the top grade, which is similar to Vietnamese agarwood located at the same latitude, with a refreshing sweetness in the refreshing sweetness.

"Shenshui" agarwood refers to the high oil content in the raw materials of agarwood, resulting in a higher density of the raw materials than the density of water, so that it will sink after being placed in water. Agarwood has a lot of oil, and its density is greater than that of water, mainly because the incense has been formed for a long time. But the agarwood that can sink does not mean that it must be a good agarwood, the main indicator of the quality of agarwood is the aroma, that is to say, the genes of the agarwood tree determine the aroma of the agarwood it will produce in the future, and it also determines its value.

The ancients divided agarwood into three grades: one is sinking, the second is stacking, and the third is yellow ripe. The characteristics of stacked incense are recorded in the "Xianglu": stacked incense is the second to agarwood, out of the city country (now Vietnam), the smell is similar to agarwood, but the wood is not solid, inferior to Shen, better than the ripening speed.
