Its Place in Xiang Cheng
The twenty-eight volumes of Xiang Cheng are divided into six major sections: incense materials appraisal (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 fragrances (Volumes 26–28). This volume is one link in that chain, connecting the complete incense culture(香学) genealogy of "documents—allusions—techniques."
