Reading of Materia Medica: Yu Jin, who smells bitter and cold, means that the qi is cold and good at descending, and the taste is bitter and good at venting.

If blood goes up and comes out from the nose and mouth, it will be hematemesis due to epistaxis, and blood will go down and come out from defecation. If there is pain, it will be blood drenched, and if there is no pain, it will be hematuria, that is, if the blood stasis of the golden sore does not go away, it will continue to produce blood, and it will not produce muscle. Therefore, the pathogen of this thing is due to blood accumulation. Those who cover blood mainly with qi, but also call it descending qi, vent their qi with bitter cold, that is, they break their blood greatly and take other drugs as a step further.

Recommended bibliographies: Incense in the Painting Hall and Sixteen Sounds in the Flower Room. Indian incense is called agarbattī: in Hindi and other Indian languages. India has a rich tradition of making incense, which can be traced back to 5, years ago. Many Indian incense has a unique flavor, but the same flavor can't be found in other countries around the world.

The unified system of making incense first began in India, although the Vedic Sanskrit text recorded the efficacy of incense-deodorizing and making pleasant fragrance. The modern system of making incense may have been formulated by the medical priest at that time. For example, Flute incense, Mysore Sandal incense and RAJ incense in India are one of the oldest Indian incense.

Indian incense is recorded in the religious document Vedas, which is the oldest data of Indian incense. Indian incense is also recorded in Arvina Veda and Rigveda in detail. Incense is a pleasant fragrance and has certain medicinal properties. In the first paragraph of Ayurveda, the medicinal effects of Indian incense are introduced. Therefore, most incense is made by monks.

In early Hinduism, the special therapeutic efficacy of Indian incense was incorporated into religious behavior. With the continuous maturity of Hinduism and the establishment of Buddhism, Indian incense has become an inseparable part of Buddhism. Indian incense has been introduced to China since the Han and Tang Dynasties, with a history of more than 1 years. Modern, with the prevalence of yoga in China, Indian aromatherapy products are more and more loved by China consumers, forming a wind of health, beauty, taste and self-cultivation.

There are three main forms of modern Indian incense:

Linear incense: Incense sticks+spices.

cone: cone (English translation: cone of pure spice).

cylindrical incense: dopstick (English translation: Dhoop stick) pure perfume cylindrical. The ancient incense burner is a furnace made of metal or ceramics with exquisite patterns on the outside, in which a carbon fire is lit and spices are scattered from time to time. The modern "incense burner" is a kind of vessel that uses heating method (usually boiling water) to make the smell of essence emit in the air to adjust the ambient atmosphere. It combines ceramic art, candle flame and fragrance health care, and has the functions of practicality, collection and appreciation. It consists of "furnace body", heating candle and essence (usually added to water and volatilized with steam). When in use, the selected essence with appropriate fragrance is dripped into an open or closed container, and a little water is added at the same time, and then the candle is put into a furnace to be lit. This section mainly introduces this kind of "boiling water" incense burner.

The use of "modern" incense burners has a long history in developed countries, such as the United States, France, Switzerland and Germany. Only the United States imports tens of millions of sets of incense burners from China every year, which has basically been widely used in China. In developing countries, such as African countries, Indian and China, with the improvement of people's living standards, incense burners are quietly becoming popular and more and more popular. China's largest wholesale market for incense burners is in Zhejiang, and its sales volume is increasing at a rate of about 2% every year, so the market prospect is extremely impressive. China's main incense burners are made in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province and Dehua County, Fujian Province, and their products have been exported to all parts of the world.

The incense burner body is generally made of ceramic or glass, which can be designed into various shapes, such as teapots, small handleless wine cups, various animals and figures, with various exquisite decorative patterns, and can also be used as artworks to decorate indoor environments such as homes and offices. Its basic composition consists of two parts: a heating furnace and a container for holding essence. The common shapes are as follows:

1. Teapot modeling: the container is designed in the shape of a teapot, and a number of small holes are formed in the pot body or lid, and the spout is communicated with the external environment, so as to distribute the essence smell in the container; The shape of the hearth matches the teapot container above it, and it is used for placing candles for heating. A number of small holes should be opened in the upper part of the hearth to facilitate the air circulation in the hearth and ensure that the candles can be fully burned. When it is used, it is like heating tea with flame, which adds interest and romance.

2. Animal modeling: The whole furnace body is designed in the shape of rabbits, kittens, ducklings and other lovely animals, and cleverly set in its back or other appropriate positions as an open or closed container for holding essence and water. Under the container, there is a hearth for placing candles and ensuring their full combustion. When it is used, it feels like it emits fragrance from animals.

3. Hanging basket modeling: This type of incense burner is generally made of glass. The hanger and the hearth base are cast into a whole, and the vessel containing the essence is suspended by chains (refined metal chains or chains made of other refractory materials).

The incense burner can be said to be another innovation of the ceramic manufacturing industry in modern life. It combines the traditional ceramic art with the essence, and satisfies people's sight and smell at the same time. China ceramics are favored by people at home and abroad for their exquisite and practical quality. Since the Song Dynasty, china porcelain has gained the upper hand in export commodities, becoming the largest export commodity in medieval China. At that time, Europeans called porcelain China, so that China was also called China. In ancient times, China ceramics had influenced or changed the original living customs of people in some countries, and improved the quality of life of people in these countries. For example, some countries in Southeast Asia used ceramics instead of early plant leaves as eating utensils; In East Africa, because China porcelain is resistant to acid, alkali, impermeability and durability, which is far superior to the traditional pottery, wood and metal utensils in East Africa, China porcelain bowls, plates, bottles, cans and other utensils have become ideal utensils for local people, indirectly causing changes in the local people's diet. With the improvement and maturity of porcelain clay raw material refining technology and kiln firing technology and the continuous development and innovation of research and development personnel, ceramics have been more widely used in many fields such as life and art.

The softness and flame of candles can create a romantic and warm atmosphere, and have less stimulation to the eyes, giving people a comfortable feeling, which is adopted by couples for dating, family life, birthday parties and so on. With the continuous development of production technology and the continuous development and innovation of researchers, candles have developed from simple lighting to multiple uses and functions. Firstly, its artistic modeling can be made into various three-dimensional geometric shapes such as cylinders, pyramids, cubes, etc. It can also be made into flowers, vegetables, fruits, shells and cartoon characters, which are dazzling, practical and interesting; Moreover, the colors of candles are colorful and colorful, and various decorative patterns make them more artistic; In addition, the support forms of candles are also various and exquisite, which reflect each other with candles of various shapes and are very artistic. Nowadays, candles are constantly endowed with many new functions. For example, when making candles, various fragrances can be added. When they are lit, they will emit pleasant fragrance and adjust the environmental atmosphere. Candles used in incense burners are generally smokeless candles to avoid environmental pollution caused by smoke during combustion. Candles are usually made into appropriate sizes so that they can burn out in a specific time, which increases the convenience and safety of use.

The essence used in the incense burner can be selected according to different environments and personal hobbies or according to the needs of aromatherapy. Everyone has his own opinions on the "good" and "bad" fragrance, which can be described as different opinions. As long as he thinks that what he likes is fragrant, what he doesn't like or doesn't like can also be called "smelly". In different occasions and different backgrounds, pleasant smells will always bring people a sense of self-confidence and peace, which is beneficial to physical and mental health, and the aroma will also achieve good economic and social benefits in certain occasions.
