Its Place in Xiangcheng
The twenty-eight volumes of Xiangcheng are divided into six major sections: appraisal of incense materials (Volumes 1–5), religious and court incense use (Volumes 6–7), incense anecdotes and allusions (Volumes 8–16), incense prose and poetry (Volumes 17–20), incense formulas (Volumes 21–25), and literati pure offerings and blended floral incense (Volumes 26–28). This volume is one link in that chain, connecting the complete incense culture(香学) genealogy of "documents—allusions—techniques."
