Historical Incense of Imperial China

Glass vial of 7 grams of incense powder and a pearl of false cinnabar 'not intended for combustion from an authentic incense recipe from ancient imperial China, 100% reproduced.

In ancient China, frankincense - with very popular subtle scents - was associated with the court, the class of scholars, scholars or those who had a mandarin function.
This was used in the Dingzhou public granary by the officials who officiated there. The public granary was an exceptional Chinese institution, intended to store crops in the event of famine or other disaster so that they could redistribute to the population, thus preventing them from starving.
This incense was intended to constitute a seal: we made an imprint with the incense powder in packed ash, then we lit an incense at one end which was then consumed by making a drawing.
Frankincense was used for many things with very positive connotations, but its most common function was that of a clock. Fumigation of incense sticks or incense seals thus made it possible to measure time.

Use: put a small lump of powder in an Asian type flame-retardant censer - or a simple terracotta container, etc. - and light the point. It will burn itself out, releasing its scent.
