Goose pear fragrance in the tent, a wisp of fragrance, lingering for a thousand years | Juepu handmade incense beads

| Juepu handmade incense beads. Goose pear fragrance in the tent, a wisp of fragrance, lingering for a thousand years | Juepu handmade incense beads Juepu is a place of enlightenment and clarity of mind, Two young people want to give people a place for quiet meditation and enlightenment. A small Zen room contains many historical and cultural elements, the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage handmade art, handmade incense bead bracelets, Making incense patterns, frying Buddhist scriptures, tasting fragrant tea, various Buddha cards and bracelets carry many cultural traditions of the Chinese nation. Do you remember the various fragrances used for palace intrigue in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? Goose pear fragrance in the tent, Huan Yi fragrance, musk made countless daughters in the deep palace sad and terrified, creating scenes of palace grievances. However, the true use of incense began in the Spring and Autumn period, grew in the Han dynasty, became complete in the Tang dynasty, flourished in the Song dynasty, and sublimated in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Burning incense and tasting tea were elegant affairs of ancient literati. Incense can delight and inspire, calm the mind and connect with the Dao, ward off evil and filth, disinfect and sterilize, refresh the mind and enhance intelligence, maintain health, and repel mosquitoes and odors. Incense beads are made from precious fragrant wood and have always been loved by emperors. "Qingbai Leichao" states: "Incense beads, also known as incense strings, are made from agarwood carved into round beads, usually eighteen beads per string, hence also called eighteen sons. They are strung with colored silk, interspersed with treasures, with silk tassels at the bottom, worn in summer to ward off filth." Emperor Yongzheng even invented a kind of summer incense beads to ward off heat, which can be worn on the body, exuding fragrance and full of efficacy. I tried smelling dragon's saliva incense, which is very rich and mellow; the goose pear fragrance in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is really pleasant, sweeter, with a hint of floral scent; the supreme coolness is a light fragrance, refreshing and soothing. The scents of these natural plants are very mild and fresh, compared to the vulgar and pungent smell of chemical fragrances. These incense beads are all handmade by inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. You can choose your favorite beads to create a unique bracelet. This kind of bracelet will look better the more you wear it, and over time it will develop a patina. Here, I had the fortune to see top-grade Qinan agarwood bracelets, with a very unique fragrance and strong adhesion. Incense lovers should not miss it. In a quiet room, you can quietly copy scriptures, such as "Liao Fan's Four Lessons", "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva", and "The Surangama Sutra", which are all classics of Mahayana Buddhism. Copying scriptures is an effective way to calm the mind and cultivate character. The fast-paced life and immense pressure of the city can be slowly digested and released through the process of copying scriptures.
