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