Zhou Jiazhou devoted more than twenty years of painstaking effort to writing The Fragrant Arts of China, a classic among classics. ★ From the names and histories of fragrances to methods of blending, appreciating, and evaluating them, he draws on an impressive range of sources and gives a thorough account of each, arranging the material in a clear and orderly fashion.
This book "Xiangyang" is really good! The author Zhou Jiazhou spent more than 20 years to complete the book. The book is very rich in content, including a detailed introduction to the name, story, production and appreciation methods of incense. I especially like the part about the history and cultural background of various incense in the book, which I find very interesting. Moreover, Riyuezhou's annotations are also very considerate, making it easier to understand. The writing is smooth and well organized, making it very comfortable to read. In short, I recommend it to friends who like incense or are interested in traditional culture!
