Most of the Chinese literati love fragrance in incense pictures. I wonder whether it is the inseparable fragrance that makes Chinese literati create different cultural models and literary works from the West, or whether it promotes the development of fragrance culture because literati love fragrance. In a word, fragrance plays a very unique role in Chinese culture. It is not only an indispensable part of literati's life, but also integrated into a large number of literati's works as a subject matter of creation. In Chinese philosophy, culture and art, there is an inexhaustible connotation of ginseng and deeper understanding that "Boshan, though cold and fragrant, exists especially". Perhaps it also has a part of the role of fragrance. It can be said that literati and fragrance have an indissoluble bond, and there are also innumerable close and delicate relations between Chinese culture and fragrance.
Around the Wei and Jin Dynasties, literati began to live with such an elegant scholar as "fragrance". The relationship between literati and fragrance reached an indescribable level in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Reading with fragrance as a friend, alone with fragrance as a companion; clothes need fragrance, be warmed by fragrance; above the public hall with fragrance to foil its solemnity, under the Matsushita with fragrance to decorate its elegance. Tuning strings and caressing the piano, fragrance can help guide its heart and rhyme; broken windows, embroidery Pavilion group, fragrant clouds can help its pleasure; tea commentary, painting and calligraphy friends, why not gather without fragrance? Indeed, the fragrance of books is inseparable. No wonder Zhou Jiaxuan of the Ming Dynasty lamented that "fragrance is a great use!"
