The quality of He Xiang beads depends on the intricate traditional craftsmanship and the careful selection of raw materials. The origin of Hexagonal beads is not limited to China, as they are also traditionally made in other Asian countries such as Japan, but in China, the art is particularly protected and promoted!
The production process of Hexiang beads is a treasure of the traditional Chinese incense culture. Its production process is complex and delicate, reflecting the spirit of craftsmanship and the pursuit of beauty. The following is the main process of Hexiang beads:
Material selection: The production of incense beads starts with the selection of spices. Commonly used spices include agarwood, sandalwood, musk, etc., as well as medicinal materials such as cloves, costus, angelica, and fruits such as dates and almonds. These materials not only provide fragrance, but also have various health benefits.
Processing: Spices are carefully processed, including crushing, steaming, boiling, frying, roasting, roasting, baking, and flying. The purpose is to remove impurities and adjust the medicinal properties to ensure the aroma and quality of the incense beads.
Combination: Mix the prepared spices in a specific proportion. This process needs to strictly follow the ancient principle of "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy" to ensure that the aroma of the fragrance beads is coordinated and the effect is significant.
Beating and fermentation: Beat the spices well, which requires great physical strength and patience. During the beating process, the spices gradually combine tightly to form a fragrant mud with a certain toughness. After beating, the fragrant mud will enter the fermentation stage to further improve its flavor and color.
Handmade beads: The fermented fragrant mud is rubbed into beads by hand. This step requires extremely high skills and experience to ensure that each fragrant bead is consistent in shape and size.
Grinding and polishing: The initial shape of the incense beads needs to be ground and polished to remove the roughness on the surface, making the surface of the incense beads smooth and uniform in color.
Bead accessories: Finally, the polished incense beads are strung into bracelets, necklaces and other accessories for people to wear.
Except for the powdering step, all other steps in the entire production process are handmade and cannot be mass-produced industrially, ensuring the uniqueness and high quality of each incense bead. This traditional handicraft not only retains the natural fragrance of the spices, but also makes the incense beads an art piece that carries Chinese traditional culture and aesthetic taste.
