Line incense technologist-Huang Mingchong
We just arrived at Rongfang's incense shop. Huang was incense and politely said that the visit time should not be too long, because the Chinese Lunar New Year is near, the demand for incense is more, so when the weather is good, hurry to hurry, but the whole process, The boss is still very careful to explain, we thank Huang.
Q1：Does the Mr.Huang know Luo’s LNX puppets, have you played before?
A1：Oh~ I have heard it. We used to say that the ToNienHsiang and has not been played. It seems that the earlier talents are playing.
Q2：Because we studied the process of LNX, we found that rosin seems to be related to the natural adhesive used in making fragrant?
A2：For the Line incense, the adhesive material we use for the scent is the sap of the bark.Generally speaking, there are two types of raw materials for making incense. The taste is sandalwood or agarwood, and the other one is the adhesive. It is the bark of Incense Cedar.
Q3：Because of the changing times, the puppets and sachets are gradually not buying gas. Does the line incense industry have the same problems?
A3：In the 1970s and 1980s, many of Taiwan's fragrant industries moved to the mainland, Vietnam, Indonesia and other places. The Taiwan market was filled with inferior and low-priced fragrant products. These imported scent were very cheap, and most of them were unqualified by the Consumers’ Foundation, but some Consumers don't know, just asking for cheap and low prices will cause the livelihood of our fragrance industry to be greatly affected. However, our family has been here for many years. It takes a lot of effort to make incense. It takes a whole day to stay in the incense room. The air is very awkward, sometimes you have to pay attention to the weather changes, because you must let the incense They all shine in the sun, so they must be moved from time to time. Xiangzhi is most afraid of water. When the weather is not good, the fragrance will be moved to the home. If it rains, then these bundles of incense can not be sold. Neighbors seeing us doing our down-to-earth work, not afraid of low-priced inferior quality dumping, but we are also stronger than the machine, we are still step by step, do the job well, after all, the worship of the fragrance is used to communicate with the Buddha If you are willing, you must do your best with your conscience.
Q4：Will air pollution affect the persistence of incense?
A4：In the past, people in the agricultural society paid great attention to worshiping the gods and hoped to obtain the protection of the gods by sacrifice. The early fragrances are made from natural raw materials such as agarwood and sandalwood. These are good things, but nowadays, in order to make money, the unscrupulous traders will add chemical materials, causing environmental pollution and human injury. Now, because of the prevention and control of air pollution, the government's promotion of scent reduction has had a great impact on our fragrance industry. In fact, as long as we adhere to the traditional way to make incense, using natural raw materials, the air pollution caused by burning incense and industrial and steam locomotives is actually much less. We hope that the custom culture of burning incense will not be broken, so that the fragrant industry can continue to pass on.
