I’ve just started to practice incense. Are there anything I shouldn’t do in incense?

Burning incense is actually a traditional ceremonial activity in my country. People in the Song Dynasty believed that burning incense, ordering tea, hanging pictures, and arranging flowers were the activities of a gentleman. Then burning incense is also the first of social activities. So, in order to avoid some uncivilized (social) behavior when playing incense, I have summarized three things that you must not do when burning incense.

1. Blow out the incense with your mouth

It is very impolite to blow out the incense with your mouth. Never blow out the flame with your mouth, you should quickly wave the incense from side to side to extinguish the flame.

2. Take big gulps of incense

Some people like to take big gulps of incense to show that they love this fragrance. But actually all that is inhaled is smoke. Experts will laugh after seeing this

3. Place the incense very high

When tasting incense, the incense should be placed on the abdomen and wait for the aroma to come to you. Experts like to say that fragrance must come to you, and you should not go looking for fragrance.

Once you enter the incense gate, it is as deep as the sea. I hope you can make an appointment with a few close friends to enjoy the incense together. However, don't do some social actions.
