Fragrance plays an important role in Chinese culture, and is present in almost every moment of daily life. In the many rituals that organize Chinese society (Taoist, Buddhist or Confucian), the Chinese use resins and scented woods to delimit a sacred space or time.
The very presence of the incense burner is enough to signal or define a sacred place.
In everyday life, the body has long been cared for through the use of odoriferous products and perfumes, as evidenced by books of medical recipes (fangshu), those devoted to perfumes and even certain collections of poetry (see the treatise Materia medica - or Ben Cao Gang Mu - the most complete and detailed medical treatise ever written in the history of traditional Chinese medicine.
It was written by Li Shi-zhen (1518-1593), a Ming dynasty medical expert).
For many centuries, perfumes were reserved for the elite. The average peasant often had to make do with the scent of flowers to escape from the smell of sewage and the other odors that perfumed towns and villages in those days.
For the well-to-do Chinese (and more often than not for the social category known as the literati), aromatic substances were part of daily life.
The daily life of these aesthetes required the use of numerous refined objects - such as the perfume burner - which testified to the owner's rank, or enabled them to exercise their profession - such as the inkwell.

- Natural Stone Sculpture - Sodalite - China - Late 19th Century PeriodLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRA very fine piece of natural stone, Sodalite, made in China. Finely chiselled, this large statue depicts a scene of life in which several ancient symbols stand side by side, such as the Phoenix, swallows, a horse, earthly abundance with its luxuriant vegetation, fruit, but also food from the ocean and its generous fish, a man, a woman and a child. First discovered in Greenland in 1806, Sodalite was analysed by a Scottish chemist 5 years later (1811), Mr Thomas Thomson. Several long years went by without it achieving any real success. It was not until 1891 that the stone was recognised as an ornamental stone. It was during a diplomatic trip to Canada in 1901 that Mary de Teck (wife of King George V) discovered Sodalite and fell under the spell of this natural stone. The princess ordered a large quantity of Sodalite to decorate her London flats. Sodalite quickly became fashionable. Period: Late 19th century - Napoleon III Dimensions: Total height with base: 92cm x Width: 31.5cm x Depth: 27cm Dimensions of wooden base: Height: 7cm x Length: 25cm x Width: 23cm But what do these symbols mean? The phoenix, a mythological bird, symbolises purification and rebirth, as it is said to rise from its own ashes. This magnificent bird is also synonymous with good fortune, opportunity and luck in Asian cultures. In feng shui, the phoenix is also one of the four celestial animals (sometimes also known as the red bird or red raven). The red phoenix...Category
