The production of traditional incense follows the traditional calendar and meticulously studies the principle of Tai Chi's mutual generation and restraint through the compatibility of incense formulas. It is based on the foundation of the Five Elements, adhering to the natural principles of generation and restraint, nurturing the six in one operation, and achieving balanced results.

The fabrication of fragrant medicine

1. 'Raw medicine' becomes' mature medicine '

Natural fragrant herbs belong to the category of "raw" herbs. If used directly to make fragrances, they may not have good effects and may even have the opposite effect. It is necessary to apply corresponding special treatments based on the variety, origin, and other characteristics of the fragrant medicine in order to fully exert its effects and eliminate possible toxic side effects. This is the "fabrication" of fragrant medicine. The principle is the same as the fabrication of traditional Chinese medicine.

2. The root cause of fabrication

The production of fragrant products also follows the laws of the Tao. Incense and medicine are all fabricated by predecessors to adapt to the laws of yin and yang, enhance their righteous qi, and eliminate their yin and evil. Those with heavy yang will eliminate their dry qi, while those with heavy cold will eliminate their yin qi. Harmony is the most precious. Proper fabrication can enhance the function of fragrant herbs and eliminate potential toxic side effects; In addition, specific fabrication methods can be used to alter the medicinal properties of fragrant materials based on compatibility requirements.

For example, the fabrication of sandalwood is to reduce fire. As sandalwood grows in the hot areas of the south, its fire is relatively high. When this spice is directly made into incense, it makes people easily air floating and dry. So we need to first fabricate using clear tea or Yunnan tea to remove its fiery nature.

Incense making and calendar

Incense making is a systematic engineering that emphasizes the manufacturing process and the coordination and interaction with the Six Harmonies Way. Only in this way can traditional incense conform to the natural laws of heaven, truly being in line with emotions, understanding principles, and applying them to laws.

The ancient calendar also had very cautious requirements for the timing of incense making. There are strict requirements for when to prepare medicine, when to fabricate, and so on. Taking the traditional fragrance "Lingxu Fragrance" as an example for explanation:

It takes a full sixty days for 'Ling Xu Xiang' to be prepared from medicine to finished product. And strictly following the method of timing the sound, the entire process from dispensing medicine on Jiazi Day to grinding on Bingzi Day, then to mixing ingredients on Wuzi Day, making incense on Gengzi Day, packaging and storing in the cellar on Renzi Day, and finally to sunrise in Jiazi Cellar is considered complete. The entire process takes exactly sixty days.
