What is the best of the best agarwood? More expensive than gold
The feeling that wood has always given us is simple and unremarkable, and has little to do with valuables. However, there is such a kind of wood, which is the "noble" in the wood. Although it is ordinary in appearance, it is of great value and more valuable than gold. Come and see the world's most precious wood today: Qi Nan. What is Qi Nan? Qi Nan is a kind of agarwood. It is the best of the best agarwood. It was called agar in ancient times and it is softer than agarwood. Usually in a large piece of the best spice, only a very small part of it can be regarded as a very rare, extremely precious. "Qi Nan" is a word translated from Sanskrit. The Buddhist scriptures of the Tang Dynasty are often written as "Dao Jialuo", and later there are "Galan", "Gan Nan" and "Qin Nan". Qi Nan is a plant of the genus Rutaceae, which is a diamond in the spice. The precious Qi Nan is found out from the agarwood. The original agarwood is a high-grade incense. The highest grade of agarwood is Qi Nan. The agarwood or white wood has a lot of resin wood near the root. Its taste is also sweet and warm. After the scented fragrant scent, it will have a fragrant smell and a cool taste. It is said that there will be "one or two agarwood one or two gold" in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it became "one inch of incense and one inch of gold." Qi Nan has been “one million yuan†since the Song Dynasty due to its low output. In Taiwan, the locals divided Qi Nan into Heiqi Nan, Hong Qi Nan, Huang Qi Nan, Lan Qi Nan, Bai Qi Nan, etc. The "Si Ku Quan Shu" once recorded that the agarwood produced in Zhancheng (now southern Vietnam) is the best. The price is also the highest. The agarwood produced in other countries is also very sweet, but the quality is much worse than that produced in Vietnam. The formation of agarwood usually takes several decades, and the resin content is more than a hundred years, so the supply of agarwood has not kept up with demand since ancient times. In recent years, due to the rush of precious agarwood, the supply of agarwood has almost dried up. India and many Southeast Asian countries have tried artificial cultivation of agarwood resin, but the production cycle of fine agarwood is too long. Artificial cultivation for 10-20 years can only produce agarwood with very low resin content. Due to the extremely difficult and superior price of fine agarwood, the international price now ranges from RMB 2,000 to 15,000 per gram, which is dozens of times that of gold. Therefore, many operators use fake agarwood or poor quality fish to mix beads, and Tibetans need to carefully identify them. Generally, the higher the density of agarwood, the more oil it condenses and the better its quality. The scent of Nanxiang in the agarwood can't be tasted by the traditional method. Qi Nanxiang is a strange scent. It is a hollow fragrant tree (a dense tree species) nested by ants or wild bees, formic acid, nectar or wild bee. The stone honey, the bee paddle is absorbed by the fragrant gland of the living tree of the fragrant tree, and combined with a special fungus gradually formed. This process is accumulating and causing the fragrant tree to break from the root or a certain branch. It is commonly called “inverted frame†and is buried in the soil. Its parasitic fungi and resin are continuously absorbed and synthesized. After centuries or even thousands of years, it is excavated by Shannon. Therefore, Qi Nan agarwood is extremely precious and rare. Place of origin The Siku Quanshu is the best and orthodox in the city of Zhancheng (now the kingdom of southern Vietnam), but other countries that produce agarwood are also surprisingly fragrant. Qi Nanxiang wood is black and moist, and it is best to use a finger to trap oily and flexible. 1.

Malaysia: There are more controversies, but there is no shortage of the existence of the finest Nan Nan; 3. Khmer (Cambodia): Bodhisattva is the main producing area, collectively known as Bodhisattva; 4, Indonesia: to Brunei and nearby Dallas-based dry origin. use Since the Han Dynasty, the royal family worshipped the heavens, prayed for blessings, worshipped Buddhas, worshipped the gods, and indoor incense, and Qi Nan was the most important fragrance. Ancient Chinese emperor bed shamisen essential spices, namely: musk, Long extension of incense, incense odd Nan. The odd Nan incense effect at the time of the royal family is to be the soul legend to have the effect of call, which may be refreshing and aloes, about a calming effect.

Spice Since the Han Dynasty, the royal family worshipped the heavens, prayed for blessings, worshipped Buddhas, worshipped the gods, and indoor incense, and Qi Nan was the most important fragrance. category Yangge Green (commonly known as Green Chess), cut the cut surface of Qi Nan, which is dark green, green and yellow, and its level is like the yellow feathers with shiny green light, very aromatic, if the incense burner appreciates its taste, It should be the highest level of enjoyment in the sense of smell, and the body and mind can be completely released. The orchid knot (commonly known as purple chess or honey chess) has a sweet scent and a sticky tooth. Many of the same people in the industry also call this grade Qi Nan, also known as Green Chess. This is controversial, and the author's intention to examine it should be two possibilities: The long-awaited purple chess is actually converted from green chess. If it is not distinguished from oil and flavor, its appearance is the same or similar to that of green chess. Second, the fragrance is different for each person. Some people think that the purple chess fragrance is better than the green chess. It is true green chess. If the purple chess with fully alcoholized net fat is compared with the shallow or fibrous unpurified green chess, this theory is not wrong, but in the comparison with the net fat in the same series, The incense burner is an experiment. The author thinks that Yangge Green is better than orchids. The former is rich in flavor and long-lasting. The latter is sweet and fruity but the fragrance is conservative. Gold silk knots (commonly known as yellow chess) should be green chess that is not enough for the shallower years. The oil cuts are yellow and green, but the flavor is good, but it is not durable and the price is cheaper. The sugar knot has a yellow-brown cut surface, which may be a shallow purple chess (commonly known as red chess). The fragrance is mainly sweet. In the good Fusen red clay, sometimes it can be found that it has a soft taste and cool taste. Qi Nan, should be the sugar knot. Iron knot (commonly known as black chess), its fat is hard, the taste is more cool, the fragrance is not lasting, but black can still be found in the live agarwood, which is the cheapest in the Qi Nan grade, so the Chinese medicine The teacher often uses it.
