Jinan - Eaglewood culture exhibition reveals treasures from past
Print Edition
Precious Chinese eaglewood and delicately crafted ancient Chinese censers recently appear in the largest Chinese eaglewood culture exhibition ever held in China. Eaglewood, also known as agarwood, is a rare and fragrant resinous wood formed as a result of mold.
“An Ethereal Date: Chinese Eaglewood Culture Exhibition” showcases 58 pieces of top-class Chinese eaglewood, and 180 sets of incense burners created as early as the Warring States Period (476-221 BC). Among them, rare burner pieces created by the Ge and Longquan kilns in Longquan City, Zhejiang Province have never been presented in public.
First imported as a sacred item of Buddhism, incense later became popular in China as a must for nobles and intellectuals when reading, playing guqin or chatting over tea.
It has seen a revival for home use and collection.
Through the valuable incense and exquisite burners of jade, ceramics, pottery and bronze, the show examines the profundity of Chinese eaglewood culture, and the changes it accompanied over thousands of years.
The event runs through June 30 at Shandong Museum in Jinan City, where most of the ancient burners on display were excavated in 1955.
