Natural Xianghui'an series of wild insect leaking agarwood ornaments in Laos

There is hardly any record of Laos agarwood in Chinese historical documents. The main reason is that the territory of Laos from the 7th century to the 9th century belonged to the Kingdom of Chenla (now Cambodia), and from the 9th to 14th century it belonged to the Angkor Dynasty (now Cambodia). ), the Lancang Kingdom was finally established in the 14th century, and in the 17th century it was split into three small countries. It was conquered by Siam (now Thailand) from 1779 to the 19th century. In 1827, taking advantage of the civil strife, Vietnam sent troops to divide Laos and seize large areas of territory. Until the French-Siamese War in 1893, it became a French protectorate. It was occupied by Japan during World War II. Independence was declared on October 12, 1945, and France invaded again in 1946. In 1953, the Lao Kingdom became independent. Later, under the secret wrestling of the two great powers of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Lao Civil War broke out. The Lao People’s Party and the Lao Kingdom continued to fight for 22 years. Finally, on December 2, 1975, Lao The National People's Party occupied Vientiane and won the civil war. The king announced his abdication. Later, Laos abolished the monarchy and established the socialist Lao People’s Democratic Republic. It can be seen that the history of Laos is very rough. There have been constant foreign enemies and the territory has been invaded by neighboring countries. Therefore, it is not easy to see the special records of Laos in ancient records. Be under the jurisdiction of other countries. Naturally, it is difficult to see the record of Laos agarwood in ancient books. However, because Laos is an emerging country and its development is relatively late, there are more wild agarwoods in existence. Many wild agarwoods on the market come from Laos, and many businesses will directly sell them as Vietnamese agarwood. The aroma of Lao agarwood is essentially the same as that of Vietnamese agarwood. Only when it is burned with an open flame, a slight difference can be found. The direction of the fragrance is still not the same as that of Vietnam Agarwood. Compared with Vietnam Agarwood, the cool taste is stronger than that of Vietnam Agarwood, but The floral scent is weaker, with a slight plum scent, Moreover, Lao Agarwood is different from other types of agarwood at room temperature and the aroma of incense. The oil-bearing Lao Agarwood is mostly black and bright in color, and has a light and delicate fragrance at room temperature. The first fragrance has a strong penetrating coolness during the incense, similar to the fragrance of Vietnamese chess nan, but it is very short, and the final rhyme is a light floral fragrance.
