Because of the rare medicinal value, so men often very expensive period. Therefore, to assess the different grade public men, folk has summarized the experience bar: “The most transparent, the second rod, triangle sulfur, tar Quartet”. And depression were classified into 4 categories: eye bass is hollow, there is perforated by nesting cave before the fall trees; deep roots generated by plant roots; downs to create electronic eye on tree branches and finally in the trunk deep speed (and most types of depression are more common on the market). In addition, one child can differentiate between good or any bad period in the comments below: What kind of smooth and full-bodied mollusk oil is best, but any kind of brawny bad. It is also another way to identify good and bad period in banana leaf package is very tight period, exposed to the sun, to evening brought in, if there’s plenty of oil flowing out good stuff.
Not only distinguish the value of the type of incense, the Vietnam Khanh Hoa region are very experienced on the taboos while collecting deposits. Do go more and more to use and to use trade, Khanh Hoa people in the provinces know where their deposits are best. Folk knowledge that has been drawn into the fishing knives: “Cinnamon Tiantai grows in rocks, sediments where Van Gia flavor frozen forest paint …”
Because depression is go take a long time and have to go into deep forest, mountain abyss so deep seekers, in addition to food must take special drugs against toxic gases forests, treatment of serious diseases, snakes room … called wormwood because he “witchdoctors” upper region (Highlands) sold. When looking deep into the forest, riders must suck wormwood tone in the mouth. Hence the question “suck wormwood find downs”. Then, according to legend, before seeking downs, people go to see the day fine tune new exodus, to fasting three days ago and had to purchase forest offertory gifts at Thien YA Na Ba invoking the lord Khanh Hoa forest (land of Champa Kauthadra) also is the embodiment of quiet tree to pray for the successful Ba …
Thus, the historical documents of China, Vietnam … was told that the ancient Champa Kingdom is home to many of frankincense and Champa incense made famous on the international market very soon. Use of Materials said a specific place in the best frankincense is the land of Cham Khanh Hoa old. Not only for trade, for medicine, and to do the tribute, there are people Champa incense and ancient Champa people now heavily used in the sacrificial rituals.
The ancient inscriptions of Champa in the Po Nagar temple area (Ms. Tower in Nha Trang) many times to speak to the kings offered precious items for the gods. And in that precious objects, often with gold vases for burning incense. For example in all of King Rudravaman III inscription, carved in 972 saka (1050), which refers to one of the favorite things that the king offered to the temple is a pot of gold to burn deep. And today, in the sacrificial rituals of the Cham, downs always be used to burn up the gods to take initiation. During the sacrificial ceremony, downs lead is burned, and the master of ceremonies, the band has hit just pray the gods for.
Certainly people in Khanh Hoa Vietnam absorbed many things from people of Champa in the use and exploitation of frankincense. And, no doubt, as the folk beliefs Data of the Cham and Vietnamese people that we will be cited below to prove, Po Inu Nugar Cham (which the Vietnamese Thien YA Na called) not only was born goddess frankincense trees, aromatic plants in the world famous of ancient Champa and Vietnam of today. But the issues that we care about is why and when agarwood become a “creature” and a “reincarnation” of the god Po Nagar form?
Unfortunately, the document inscriptions in the temple of Po Nagar Nagar just said Po Inu is the goddess mother of Origin Kauthara (now the province of Khanh Hoa) and not say anything to the mother goddess of agarwood. Later when receiving Cham gods to worship, the Vietnam-still in the spirit of Cham- called Po Nagar is Celestial Inu Thien YA Na Marian. However, in praying that the teacher often Cham ritual chant on the occasion of the current god, goddess Po Nagar Spirit shows up not only the creation of the land form and the animals but also the god of tree Mother frankincense.
Right from the early twentieth century, he Cabaton collected goddess praying read as follows: “In the old days, god Inu Nugar born soil, the wood, rice. The wood, wood from Yan Inu male Nugar period that found the scent emanates. Space surrounded, from Yan Inu Nagar, tingle scent of rice … “. Then the connection between tree goddess with depression is also reflected in the legend of Thien YA Na Po Nagar or Cham and Vietnamese people through the details entered goddess body from tree to tree and deep bass embodiment out.
Not only in the bibliography or in praying that in fact, people in Khanh Hoa Vietnamese, especially those who seek quiet until today still believe that frankincense (periodic and downs) Thien YA Na is her . Also, those who seek deep that she can still transmit 4 agarwood in 4 local town veteran in Khanh Hoa lands: A town in southern Dong Beef; one in three (Ninh Hoa) north of town; one at Mount Data (Dien Khanh district) east town. These trees this fall, according to folk lore, there are no leaves, no discipline, no rain and sun can damage items and birds, tiger snake guarding no one take.
Those who go tune believe, because incense is Thien YA Na Madame, should she for whom he or she is; even if she does not, then whether he has stood quiet tree nor found. Therefore, before seeking downs, people go to offer sacrifices Mrs. tone.
Then, some famous scenic spots of Khanh Hoa province are also associated with mental Thien YA Na frankincense form. For example, more than three years in west ANM Ninh Hoa district, where many of incense, the local mountain of Ba Thien YA considered should call la Ba Na. On the mountain shrine. People seeking downs, before entering the forest to the temple praying to ask Ms. blessed to meet and fall.
Adjacent Dien Khanh Hoa and Ninh, have Data Hon. As mountains of Ba Thien Y, so Hon Plenty forest incense. Pour in spring (in the territory of the village of Phuoc Trach, the Royal Taurus Mountains west) have legends say this is where Ms. Thien Y or to sit perched and is home to the frankincense tree 4 Slim and long to more than 10 feet, often radiating floral incense geese everywhere. Here, at the lowest place in three HHO lake, temple Ba Thien Y.
Sand Springs is located in Ninh Hoa district Legend also a place to sit Ba Thien Y or summerhouse. Around here has several paper mulberry trees (varieties birth frankincense) and have a lot of tigers. Which, according to folk tradition, this tiger among those shut downs wormwood find long day on the right of the tiger after wormwood dissolve. A place called Suoi Ngo again in the northeast of Dien Khanh also home territory is considered Thien YA Na Her because there many fertility frankincense tree.
Thus, the various sources from ancient times until now have confirmed, Khanh Hoa region is blessed by spawned a wealth of forest products unique in the world: each male. Main frankincense (mainly Any male) originating from Khanh Hoa land of Cham and the Vietnamese later, from the first century BC to the present, always there in the world and has always been market Popular international arena. And, in terms of folk beliefs, frankincense trees are ancient Champa and Vietnam later were attributed to Mother Goddess Thien YA Po Inu Nugar or Na of origin Kauthadra born. But why Mother Goddess Po Nagar has a form of reincarnation is sacred frankincense tree?
Of course, had the Po Nagar, the goddess mother would have to be the creator of all things then. But, the problem interesting and also very special here is the goddess Po Nagar is god’s mother and vice versa agarwood, agarwood is always subject to the goddess incarnation in. Then, in addition to the creator, in case the frankincense tree, goddess Po Nagar and also a “cultural heroes” – who patronized agarwood and downs job search. And, as far as we know, in Vietnam (also possibly in Southeast Asia?) Does not have a combination forms a very specific fit just perfectly (both ideal and image) between the mother goddess with trees like the case of Po Nagar goddess and agarwood. According to our research, this particular phenomenon arises partly from the main one is very special kind of tree is agarwood.
First of all, to say that frankincense is produced by a falling tree. But the variety is not yet born and frankincense. Then how to make incense of paper mulberry trees is also very special. Folk that heavenly aroma carried by the wind into the trunk replied, outside the initial adhesive peel and eat slowly at meat plants. Long days, meat soaked tree frankincense incense became heaven. Folk also said that depression is born of paper mulberry trees for trunk or root injury. When the wounded tree, plant matter accumulates oil in order to counteract the destruction of the wound. When the wound healed, oily substance that gradually closes the denaturation and downs. Those trees have often been ragged downs and body with u, Sunny. Many famous bulbous plant as “gut pregnancy” or as banana. It is said according to folklore. According to science, why?
Science has confirmed, as in folk awareness, frankincense and public men is part balsam wood contains many born from stems much furniture in the jungle of Vietnam. Those trees may live longer and develop the ancient enormous. Plants which there are 2 types: red sky (Aquilaria crassna scientific name) and brick aka poonah Niet (Aquilaria malacceni). Brick red and downs but also to smell fragrant, pungent, fishy taste and low value. Only good bass poonah new election and public men.
Aqualaria high of 10 – 40m, gray bark, straight trunk oligodendrocytes. Agarwood trees are good moisture resistant shade, often distributed at elevations between 300 -600m above sea level. But not any form of paper mulberry trees always frankincense. In principle, as the folk did draw, to create incense paper mulberry trees must have two elements. A tree is strong mechanical injury, as being solid objects lodged in or cut deep into tree trunks, large holes gouged by the disease, the stem fracture, broken tops … Secondly, in the place of injury then, after a long time from 10 to 15 years, under the impact of each on a few of the special ecological indicators, these spores are available in the space environment affecting the wound caused chemical reactions tree inside it and learn from it constitute frankincense (depending on the level of impact that good or bad bass)
The ancients knew little more about the process of paper mulberry trees turn into depression so the rhythm going, having elected not to eat those trees fall, they will often cutting into the roots, stems or branches with the hope and then the plant will be created and downs. As early as the eighteenth century, based on the record books of our ancestors, Le Quy Don wrote about frankincense tree as follows: “Frankincense trees like fir tree rice, have many eyes, grab it before cutting a tree , to perennial bark and stems are broken, crushed intestines and eyes as incense. ”
Through old records, the folk knowledge and the scientific data, can easily see the characteristics more or less “miracle” of agarwood. First, host plants create agarwood is a perennial trees like fir tree rice, have many eyes and grow in the jungle. However, to the frankincense tree, trees injured by such motor to “incense heaven” meet and eat slowly into the flesh. Then, over time, the tree resins processed and moved “flavor heaven” go many places, long day plants absorb flavor meat into depression. Once the trunk is deep huongaoi which there u have to rear, well-inflate even as “gut pregnancy” or as banana.
According to our thinking, perhaps hard to find the mythical treasure of the world an iconic image is perfect as agarwood to express and describe the traditional idea of the Mother of God creation. It can be seen in agarwood longevity and strength and innovative nature cycle fertility of the tree of life (a variation often associated with images of the cosmic tree) common in many ethnic myths in the world.
Then, not only in her pretty realistic figures on longevity (trees) for reproductive cycles (tree = negative flavor combined with sun = positive through a “reproductive organs” (stains Commercial motor plant), frankincense incense as a means to trigger traffic mortal with the divine world.
Hence, with all the qualities and the iconic “miracle” that made her, agarwood easy and very worthy of being a resident of “Made frankincense” chosen as the symbol of the “tree of life” in his spiritual life.
Therefore it is no coincidence, also the place of the goddess Po Nagar – the only place in Vietnam and the whole world have frankincense, especially public men – dubbed the country’s famous and frankincense . And Mother goddess of where this country is seen as the god of agarwood form, and vice versa, offered incense tree as the embodiment of the Mother Goddess.
Like many myths and many other primitive religions in the world, the transformation of agarwood the “tree of life: in the cultural life of the inhabitants of Khanh Hoa frankincense land was essential and the rule. Featured image and most visible of the “tree of life” in mythology of many peoples of the world as image is taken from the plant world, but particularly in the life of the tree have more longevity human.
The plant is often used as icons for the “tree of life” is the variety of old lived as oak, cedar, spare chlorophyll, cedar, willow, linden … And, according to folk notions, in these plants, often in the core, have hidden the immortal life. Then, “tree of life” is used to express the image of a heroine (mother), or tinhy women (reproductive organs) – sourced produce life.
Also, in many different myths in the world, “tree of life” closely linked with a goddess creating life … Now, the question remaining is when agarwood become “tree of live “and when” tree of life “This incense is entered Po Nagar god mother country?
Certainly, in terms of theory, the tree of life must appear early in life the religious beliefs of the natives in Khanh Hoa. Then, when Sharkti or Devi god of Brahmanism became mother of Origin Kauthadra, the Republic of agarwood has resulted in the formation of the goddess Po Nagar. In our opinion, this process of regulation to take place very strict laws of mythical thinking and common primitive religion in the world that many people have experienced.
Thus, with the special offers of nature, lands Khanh Hoa have contributed to humanity a special aromatic plants: agarwood same mythic image was beautiful and very special : tree of life, god mother of Po Nagar country (Thien YA Na). Therefore, it is no coincidence that since time immemorial, Khanh Hoa is known as the “land of incense” and goddess Po Nagar, the goddess mother aka the land of frankincense god form.
