Aquilaria Agallocha (Lour.) ROXB is a kind of tree of Ruixiang and Agarwood, 5-15 meters high (Figure 1-3), which is produced in Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Fujian and other places in my country. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Scholars Qu Dajun wrote the "Guangdong New Language" in the book "Guangdong New Language" recorded Guangdong's astronomical geography and humanities, and there were many descriptions and agarwood in it, which was quite wonderful.

Fragrantly without planting

"The fragrance is in the ground, but it is not the place, but the fragrance changes. The soil is like a chicken yellow, and the fragrance is loose. The water is cooked and dark, and the fragrance is strong and the knot can be resistant to frost and snow. . Also, those who have a mud and red names, or those who are red like a noodle, are indeed and more yang, for the good soil. "

——Ixing planting, selection is very critical. The color of the soil of the planting site is like egg yolk, then the fragrance is loose; its soil is black sand soil, the soil layer is deep, and the water irrigated water is water after drying. "Everbright, can resist frost and snow. Its soil is a red soil, and the land is hard and barren.

The place where the fragrance is fragrant needs to facilitate water seepage and drainage

"Select the mountains and soil first, and open it to a few feet. , Tattoos or like sugar, sweet but not stingy, or more black silk, spicy and turbid, all evil soil, it is not advisable to grow fragrance. "

——The planting place for planting should be selected from the yellow sand and stone soil in the mountains. It is solid and barren. Its soil is pure yellow, pure black, no sand, and it cannot penetrate until rain, causing stagnant water, or the place where the coastal tidal infiltration is not suitable for agarwood.

Seeds do not stand by

"The wood is like a tree orchid, and the pedestrian is the umbrella for every folding branch. No. "

—— The ancients thought that agarwood could not be picked by hand. There may be two reasons: one is to pick it up by hand, and it will inevitably take off the non -mature seeds together, and the seeds of natural landing must be completely mature seeds. In fact, after the agarwood seed shell is opened, the seeds do not land immediately, but are still hanging on the tree through a filament. After the air drying and continuing to receive the sun, the stage is cooked (Figure 4). If you pick it with your hand, the seeds cannot be cooked after it is completed. The second is that the human hand will have a human smell, or if there is an unclean thing on the hand, it will affect the quality of agarwood. However, the seeds are naturally easy to cause moldy. You can consider pulling the nylon net under the agarwood tree of the knot. After the seeds naturally fall, the net is closed.

Shrine the lower part of the trunk to the sun

"Xia Yuezi is cooked, and the seedlings are long, but it is extracted.

——The agarwood seeds should not be delayed. Plant it on the seedbed first, and when the seedlings grow to one foot, they are transplanted to Daita. The density of planting per acre should not be too large, and the sun can be exposed to the root of the tree. The more cadres are, the better the quality of the incense. The sunlight should be an important condition for agarwood fragrance and quality improvement.

Trimming the main trunk to make the roots raw fragrance

"One year old plow soil, so that the soil pine, the grass and the grass are not born. By the age of four or five, they cut their righteousness (ancient breeding, raising), for white woody incense, incense in the roots, but not dry. And color white, so it is called white woody incense. It is not fragrant, so it is said to be white; without fragrant, so it is said to be white.

——It plowed ground once a year, which can prevent weeds. The purpose is to make the agarwood seedlings good. After four or five years, the trunk is cut to benefit growth. Agarwood is not in the trunk but in the roots. The purpose of this method promotes the fragrance of agarwood. The roots are fragrant, and the quality is higher than that of cadres.

Open incense door

"Another two or three years old, but in addition to the righteousness, the territory is urged, and the name of the fragrant head is chisen. The first chisel one or two pieces, the" open the fragrant door ", and the" open incense mouth "(Figure 5). Eight or nine years old, the fragrant door is opened. The rich is more than ten years old, but the fragrant mouth is opened. ， 壅 壅. The Ming Dynasty re -cut, as well as it. From small, there are many, one year in this year, and the Ming Dynasty has two or three pieces. However, the poor in March, the reunion in September. The rich will be ten. Read the moon, but it is cut again. Cover the incense in October, the fetal gas is full, and the fragrant is also good. For those, the semen seeps into a ray, yellow outside and black, which is the name "yellow pattern and black penetration '."

——In artificially cut holes on the trunk, let the tree slowly scent in the injury, called "Kaishou Gate" (Figure 5). The trees planted by the poor will open the fragrant door in 1989, hoping to get incense earlier so that they can gain something as soon as possible. The rich does not try to make interests, and hopes to be well -fragrant, even if you spend more time. Therefore, the trees of rich households can only open the fragrant door for more than ten years. At the beginning, one or two fragrant doors were chisen at the beginning. Dishes twice a year. Spring in March, autumn, poverty -stricken trees in September, and rich households must be cut until October. October incense, fetal gas is full, you can get out of fragrance. After cutting the loess and sand, fill the fracture.

The older you are, the better

"The older the age is better, the qi is exhausted, the aroma is pure, the pure is strong as a stone, and the ground can be selected in the dark. Those who seep a black line, or those with a mottled black circle are like spots, or those who are ponytails, or those with pure yellow, iron shells are raw fragrance. … Urcus is yellow, also known as water cooked. Those who are cooked in Huang, the fragrant wood is too full, but the semen is loose, and the semen is loose, and those who have not been condensed into a black line. The soil is not deep, but the person who is drizzled by the rain is the yellow mature. Under the head, there is a gap between the gap, which is shot by the light of the sun and the moon. The fat ointment is moisturized, and the ones are linked, also known as the blood grid. During the exposure, the fragrance room does not have to be burned. The longer the age, the higher the quality, the harder and heavy. Therefore, the quality of agarwood is high, and it can be identified in the secret touch.

At that time

"At that time, the incense is expensive, the autumn and winter chiseling is good, the frost and snow invades, the essence is restrained, the wood is full of wood, and the barren but not fat, so it is particularly fragrant. . However, the incense is chosen, the night must be fog, and the day will be exposed, so that it will go all the time. "

——Slix incense, use wood chisel, cut the trunk into a certain shape of wound in order to settle incense. The time of chorizing incense is good for autumn and winter. Nowadays, there are more fragrances without considering the season. After the fragrance is cut, the night menstruation is soaked, and the sun is sunny.

Daughter incense

"Everyone who grows incense, her woman is in the edges and corners of the incense, and has a little hiding it. The name of the daughter is fragrant.

——The talents in the end of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the "Yingmei Yiyu": "Cover the local people to pick the incense, all use girls. Women first hide the best big pieces, dark oil powder, good things to recover from oil powder from oil powder. It is easy to get out of the middle. "Xiangnong girl cuts incense, they will hide some a little hidden, called" daughter incense ", these incense is mostly the incense of the top grade, and it is used by" daughter "and has more mysterious colors. Therefore Fragrance is often sought after by merchants. This is similar to the "daughter red" in the wine.

The leaves are small and yellowish, and the roots must be different

"Especially incense roots are good. There are many kinds of fragrant roots, and the fragrant wood is fascinated. There is a kind of two or three decades. Its roots are beautiful, and those who are as black as black horn. There are more than 100 years. Those who are unable to recover. They are different from their places, and the fragrant species also change. Therefore, when all the incense masters see the small and yellow yellow leaves, they know that the roots must be different. Therefore, the leaves are small and yellow. Xiangshi knows that every stolen it, and in the private hidden sand and earth, the owner must supervise it. However, the fragrant family can chine the incense, and the incense division has nothing to do. Its fraud. "

——Ixing, it is at the root of the root. For the root of the root, it is sick for the tree, so its leaves are small and yellowish. This can be judged to distinguish the root of the root. Qinggu Yingtai's "Museum to Lay" also has a similar discussion: "The agarwood tree is like winter, the branches and leaves are yellow, and the people have a gangrene disease. It is conducive to agarwood fragrance.

Dongguan Xiangfuze World

"Dongguan Xiangtian, covering manpower as fragrant, fragrant people who are born in others, letting people take it, and enjoy their own strength, but the ghost and god will not be the same. However There are many people who plant incense, and they do n’t have literary talents. Can the incense be of its aura? The incense chooses its place, has no beauty and evil, and is beautiful and evil. Then the beauty and evil of the incense can be known. The person of the earth is not born, but the only incense. There is no soil in the fragrance, there is no one -handed man, and one of the people who are fragrant. The fragrant people are all thousands of, and the incense is used, and it is also 溥! "

——Ixiang's planting does not require fertile land. Born in a barren land in Dongguan, he does not give birth to other things, but can only produce incense. Dongguan Xiang is artificially planted, and it can be taken endlessly and inexhaustible (Figure 6). One person in Dongguan can cause ten people to sell incense, and thousands of people burn incense. Dongguan people are incense, which can be described as the world of Fuze!
