SandalwoodIt is used to burn incense in temples to worship Buddha. In the Inscription on the Statue of Ruishi written by Chen Yue of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, it is said: "It is better to draw the image on sandalwood and write the shadow on the sacred tree." Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, Wood 1, Sandalwood (Collected Explanations) quoted from Song Dynasty's Ye Tinggui's Fragrance Book: "The one with a hard skin and yellow color is yellow sandalwood, the one with a clean skin and white color is white sandalwood, and the one with a rotten skin and purple color is red sandalwood. The wood is both hard, heavy and fragrant, and white sandalwood is the best. It is best to seal it with paper so that it will not leak." Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty wrote in his poem "A Thing in the West Lake Residence": "Tung oil candles and sandalwood incense fill the three Indian roads; one Guanyin supports hundreds of thousands of monks." Scene 11 of Tian Han's Guan Hanqing: "From now on, chop more sandalwood every day, prepare some wine and fruit, and offer them to the gods." 2. Aucklandia Hongjing said: Qingmuxiang is used by the people of Daqin to treat poisonous swelling and eliminate bad air. Nowadays it is only used to make woodworm pills. It is best to bathe in the boiled juice regularly. Zhen Heng said: Use costus root to regulate qi. It tastes spicy and can help qi ascend. It is suitable for those with qi stagnation. If Yin Fire rushes upward, it will help the fire evil. In this case, Phellodendron chinense and Anemarrhena asphodeloides should be used, with a little costus root as an adjuvant. Haogu said: The Materia Medica says: It is used to treat poor qi and insufficient qi by replenishing it; it is used to clear blocked qi and guide all qi by breaking it up. It can stabilize the fetus, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and nourish the body; it can eliminate lumps and lumps, and break them up. That's the difference. Jiegu Zhang's machine said: If it is used as an auxiliary tonic medicine, it will be tonic; if it is used as the main medicine with laxative medicine, it will have a laxative effect. Shizhen said: Muxiang is a medicine for the triple burner qi, which can raise and lower all qi. All kinds of qi stagnation belong to the lungs, so it is used to treat qi stagnation in the upper burner, which can relieve the metal stagnation. The poor circulation of Qi in the middle burner is related to the spleen, so the spleen and stomach like fragrance as long as Qi stagnation in the middle burner is treated appropriately. Stagnation of qi in the large intestine will cause heaviness in the lower back, failure to transform qi in the bladder will cause stranguria, and stagnation of qi in the liver will cause pain. Therefore, it is suitable for those with stagnation of qi in the lower burner, and it can clear up blockages. Quan said: "The Book of Sui" said: When Fan Zigai was the governor of Wuwei, he drove his carriage into Tuyuhun. Zigai said that there were many miasma there, so he offered green wood incense to ward off the evil fog and dew. 3. Huoxiang "Pharmaceutical Chemistry" says: "Huoxiang has a fragrant smell and is good at promoting stomach qi. It can regulate the middle and treat vomiting and cholera. It can also relieve qi and eliminate filth and stuffiness." "Xiang can harmonize the five internal organs, and its pungent smell can open up the nine orifices. If it is used to treat malaria and epidemics, it can prevent external evil from invading the body, and it has the power to regulate positive energy." "Bencao Zhengyi" also says that Patchouli "can ward off evil and relieve epidemic diseases." 4. Dalbergia The record of Jiangxiang in "Compendium of Chinese Materia Medica" is: Jiangxiang is a rarely used Chinese medicine. First recorded in "Zhenglei Bencao". "Compendium of Materia Medica" calls it agarwood and lists it in the category of woody fragrant woods. In the past, all of them were imported, but now the products on the market are mainly domestically produced rosewood. 5. Agarwood "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Agarwood is found in all the counties in Lingnan, and is especially abundant in the states near the sea. Now, states such as Nan'en, Gao, and Dou only produce knotted agarwood. The best agarwood is only found in states such as Qiongya, and is commonly called horn agarwood. Yellow agarwood is found in dead wood and is suitable for medicinal use. The one that forms a knot with the bark is called green osmanthus, and the smell is particularly clear. It has been in the soil for many years and forms a knot without being picked, which is called dragon scale. It is also called yellow wax agarwood that is self-curling and chewed soft and flexible, which is particularly rare. However, the "Classic" only talks about treating wind and water toxic swelling and removing bad air, and there is no other treatment. Today, doctors use it to preserve and protect the qi, which is a top-grade medicine, and it must be very fine. Therefore, people now often grind it with black medicine to disperse stagnant qi. If it acts alone, it will be weak. It should be used with other medicines to take effect slowly, which is beneficial but not harmful. Other medicines cannot be prescribed." "New Compendium of Materia Medica": "Agarwood is spicy, slightly warm, yang, and non-toxic. It enters the gate of life. It replenishes the fire of the phase, suppresses yin and helps yang, nourishes all qi, penetrates heaven and earth, treats vomiting and diarrhea, draws the fire of dragon and thunder down to the kidney palace, calms the vomiting and regurgitation qi, and connects to the heart. It is a wonderful product for the connection between the heart and the kidney. It is warm but not hot, and can be often used to replenish yang." 6. Frankincense Frankincense comes from "Ming Yi Bie Lu". "Description of Southern Plants and Trees": Xunluxiang comes from Daqin, on the seashore. There is a big tree with branches and leaves just like ancient pines, growing in the sand. In midsummer, the gum flows out onto the sand and can be collected. 7. Benzoin Gong said: Benzoin comes from the Western Rong. It looks like rosin, is yellow-black, and is in blocks. Xin said: It grows in Persia in the South China Sea. Yu Xi said: According to Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Zazu", the benzoin tree originates from Persia and is called the evil-warding tree. It is two or three meters long, with yellow-black skin. The leaves have four corners and do not wither in the cold. The flowers bloom in February in yellow with a slightly green center. Not strong. When the bark is carved, the glue is like honey, and is called benzoin. It hardens in June or July before it can be harvested. Burn it to communicate with the gods and ward off evil. Shizhen said: It is now found in Annan, Srivijaya and other places. "Yitongzhi" says: The tree is like the Melia azedarach, big and straight. The leaves are similar to sheep peach but longer. The heart of the wood has resin that makes it fragrant. Ye Ting's "Xianglu" says: This is resin, and its shape and color are similar to walnut pulp. It is not suitable for burning, but it can produce many kinds of fragrance, so people use it to mix incense. Nowadays, people like incense that is as sweet as sugar, which is called benzoin. Ji said: Some say burning it can attract rats, which is true. What are the specific effects of Feng Shui?1. To protect the house and prevent accidents and bloodshed.2. Purify the house. 3. Increase popularity. 4. Resolve entanglements. 5. Improve the intimacy between couples. |
