[Agarwood Ornaments] Cambodian Agarwood Ornaments 420.5g

**Cambodian agarwood** Also known as Khmer Agarwood, the main reason is that the Angkor Dynasty that emerged from the 9th to the 15th century was known as the Khmer Empire. It had a prosperous country and a splendid culture. Its territory included the entire territory of today’s Cambodia and the three countries of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. some areas. When many people hear about Cambodia, their first impression must be Angkor Wat, a world-famous tourist destination. At that time, Angkor Thom was the capital of the Khmer Empire. In the fifth year of Xuande's reign in the Ming Dynasty (1430), Siam invaded Cambodia and surrounded Angkor Thom for seven months before finally conquering Angkor. Because Angkor was too close to the Siam border, Cambodia abandoned Angkor and moved its capital to Phnom Penh. It is an ancient civilization with a long history in Southeast Asia, with a history of more than two thousand years. However, the history of Cambodia can be traced back to the 5th century BC. As early as the Sui Dynasty in China, it was recorded that a country called the "Kingdom of Chenla" sent envoys to China. "Sui Shu" was first called Zhenla. "Tang Shu" calls it Ji Mi and Ge Mi (both antiphonal to Khmer). It can be seen from this that Cambodia before the Khmer Empire was called the "Kingdom of Chenla". Therefore, regarding the records of Cambodian agarwood, we can start from the Kingdom of Chenla. It is mentioned in Ye Tinggui's "Hai Lu Sui Shi" (Song Dynasty): "There are different sources of agarwood. Zhenla is the highest, Zhancheng is the second, and Boni is the lowest. 』 So we can know that at that time, people used the place of origin to classify agarwood, and "Zhenla" agarwood was rated as the highest quality agarwood by the ancients at that time. According to the results of the above-mentioned literature research, the famous agarwood-producing areas of the ancient Chenla Kingdom may only be Sanlu, which is the Sambor area in central Cambodia today, that still belongs to Cambodian territory today. At present, high-quality agarwood is still produced near this area, among which the "Buddha Agarwood" produced in Pursat City, Pursat Province, central Cambodia is the most famous. Another major feature of Cambodian agarwood is that there are many large agarwoods. In Indochina, which is dominated by honey trees, the chance of large agarwoods appearing is very low, so there will naturally be many agarwoods in Cambodia. A favorite among buyers, the most famous one is Bodhisattva Shen, named after Bodhisattva City. The agarwood in this area is fragrant at low temperatures and has a light honey aroma when smelled raw. Most of them on the market are used to carve or carve agarwood bracelets, or used directly as ornaments!
