What do the ancients mean by the love of incense? Why use the word incense?

The feeling of incense is relatively strong in rural areas, especially in rural areas where there are many people who watch incense. Rich and colorful national folk culture has been formed in the long-standing culture. This cultural form is manifested in what is commonly known as "? Jing" in rural areas. In terms of incense, people in most places advocate the custom of worshiping ancestors in family temples. Therefore, after the guests moved to various places, some families successively established family temples, ancestral halls and other sacrificial places.

In rural areas, the form of family sacrifices is also very particular. In the "Dictionary", "incense" is explained as the first incense and candles used to worship ancestors and Buddha, and the second type is used for descendants of children and heirs. If there is no heir, Just cut off the incense. As the old saying goes: There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having descendants. Having no descendants to pass on the incense is considered to be the greatest unfilial piety.

Feel the cultural influence of incense. Some old ideas believe that seeking good luck is superstition. In fact, this is not entirely true. Change unfavorable living habits and strive for good luck by changing these habits.

In fact, the love of incense is not a specific emotion, but the love of burning incense to make an oath. This is because the ancients often set up incense to express their vows to God.

Although the word incense is quoted, Chinese culture is vast and profound and cannot be confused with, for example, religious offerings of incense or the continuation of incense by future generations.

For example, if you go to a temple to offer incense and there is indeed incense, you cannot say that you have a relationship with the god, but can you say that you have a relationship with a monk or a Taoist priest? Saying this can only make people laugh.

Or when facing your ancestors, there is indeed a legacy of incense, but can you say that you are in love with each other?

In fact, sometimes, no incense can also be called incense sentiment, such as a restrictive etiquette held by princes or officials in the Spring and Autumn Period in order to consolidate internal unity and combat hostile forces. It's a small pit. Make an alliance with blood, bury the alliance letter and the victim in the pit, and you can't violate the agreement.

This is a kind of covenant. If the princes meet, this situation can actually be called a passionate relationship between each other, even if it is an alliance based on blood, there is no love at all.
