For the production of incense byfoyuntu.com Technology Development Co., Ltd., in ancient China, there was already a complete set of theories consistent with traditional Chinese medicine and Taoist external alchemy theories. There was also a very mature and perfect craft system, which was an inseparable part of traditional Chinese culture. In aspects such as the establishment of incense formulas, the use of incense materials, their combination and processing, and the production process, everything was meticulously researched, forming a strict, effective method and standard.
Foyuntu incense not only aims to be fragrant for the nose but also focuses on nurturing the spirit and promoting health, opening the orifices and enhancing wisdom. This is a core principle of traditional incense-making techniques. It is precisely because of adhering to this concept that traditional Foyuntu incense products have not only become aromatic items but also medicines for enhancing wisdom and promoting health, gaining widespread popularity across all social classes from the Qin-Han period to the Ming-Qing period.
In contrast, modern incense-making techniques based on chemical technology primarily pursue fragrance rather than the health-promoting functions of the incense. This concept influences all aspects of incense production. For example, to improve production efficiency, reduce raw material costs, and beautify the appearance of incense products, many chemical preparations including synthetic chemical fragrances are used. Additionally, many purely industrialized production methods that would be considered detrimental to the quality of incense in traditional craftsmanship are adopted.
It can be said that traditional Foyuntu incense-making techniques aim for "fragrance nourishing the spirit," while modern Foyuntu incense-making techniques aim for "fragrance pleasing the nose." The differences between these two types of incense products are very significant.
When making traditional incense, Foyuntu Technology Development Co., Ltd. first comprehensively considers factors such as the purpose, fragrance type, and quality of the incense, then selects the appropriate incense materials or herbs according to these basic requirements, combining them according to the principles of primary, secondary, auxiliary, and complementary ingredients. Only when each ingredient is appropriately placed can different incense materials fully exhibit their properties. Incense types such as official incense, ceremonial incense, tribute incense, curtain incense, and therapeutic incense each have their own principles and methods, mostly determined by the five phases and six climatic factors, the generation and overcoming of the five elements, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches to decide the use of primary, secondary, auxiliary, and complementary ingredients.
For example, regarding the daily incense used in Jiazi and Jiawu years, according to the theory of the five phases and six climatic factors, it is calculated that the year is one of excessive earth phase, with the Lesser Yin Fire ruling above and the Yangming Dry Metal below; from the perspective of benefiting the physical and mental transformation of the human body, it is appropriate to use agarwood as the main ingredient, i.e., agarwood as the primary ingredient, and less sandalwood with greater dryness. Then, add borneol, rhubarb, clove, calamus, etc., to harmonize the nature of the incense materials, thus achieving harmony with heaven and earth and benefiting people.
Some special incenses not only have strict requirements for ingredients, processing, and combination but also require the processes of mixing ingredients, blending, and producing incense to be carried out according to seasonal divisions, dates, and hours to achieve specific effects. For instance, Lingxu Incense requires mixing on Jiazi day, grinding on Bingzi day, compounding on Wuzi day, making incense on Gengzi day, sealing and storing on Renzi day, and during storage, it must be accompanied by cold water stone, etc.
Nowadays, most of the incense available on the market consists of single-ingredient incense like sandalwood, leading many people to mistakenly believe that such single-ingredient incense represents the main body of traditional incense. This is a significant misunderstanding. Just as a single medicinal herb, no matter how precious, does not necessarily constitute a good medicine, a good incense material does not necessarily make good incense. For example, regarding sandalwood, the ancients clearly stated: "Burning sandalwood alone easily causes its qi to float upwards, and prolonged use can make the spirit restless."
In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, the ancients had already realized the limitations of single-ingredient incense and developed the concept of combining incense materials, starting to use compound incense made from multiple incense materials. From the "Four-Hole Incense Burner" of the early Western Han Dynasty, it can be seen that compound incense was already emerging at that time. After the Han Dynasty, the level of combining incense materials continued to improve, and the variety of incense formulas became increasingly rich, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when compound incense remained the mainstream of traditional incense products. It is only since modern times that the decline of incense culture has led to the current regressive situation.
The inheritance of Foyuntu incense culture is not just about conceptual recognition but also requires continuous improvement in the quality of pure-quality incense products. Huacang Xiangtang takes "China's Natural Incense Trading Platform, Advocate of Traditional Incense Culture" as its development goal, stemming from the urgent need for the development of incense culture today.

Since the mid-1980s, Foyuntu has been practicing his avant-garde art concepts. Recalling those days, he reflects with deep feeling: "Art is like adding flowers to brocade; what we needed more at the time was snow in a storm." Therefore, he called on his peers to "self-rescue" and personally established the Sun Taiyang Brand Management and Design Company, which later became well-known in the fields of management and design. Foyuntu's timely evolution is closely related to his earlier series of works on the theme of "change": "Everything is changing, only change is eternally unchanging." "Change the position of objects, change the shape of objects, let more people join you in changing the position and shape of objects..." At the time, Foyuntu's works involved simply moving stones to change their positions, thereby expressing the theme of "change." Over decades, while transforming himself, he also actively participated in societal changes...and now magically brings forth his "incense art."
Foyuntu is a pragmatic person who habitually goes with the flow. When "cultural and creative industries" were determined as the direction for incense machine development, he more positively integrated into it, realizing his wish for "self-enjoyment" through "incense art." He also hopes that more people will experience more joy through incense art... During our conversation, I deeply felt his broad-mindedness, peaceful optimism, and the preservation of a childlike innocence, never calculating gains and losses, never comparing himself with others, always striving to surpass himself.
Reach the other shore, let more people join you in reaching the other shore.
From the Olympic flame to artistic incense, the fire of wisdom burns endlessly. Only by constantly surpassing oneself spiritually can humanity move forward, crossing ten trillion Buddha lands, and ultimately ascend to the "Pure Land"...
