    The perfume burner in China
    In China, fragrances play an essential role in daily and spiritual life. They accompany the major stages of life, as well as religious practices. In Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian rites, aromatic resins and woods are burned to symbolically mark a sacred space or moment. The incense burner is therefore not only used to diffuse a scent: it also materializes the boundary between the ordinary world and the spiritual realm. In fact, its mere presence can be enough to indicate that a place is consecrated.
