Fragrance is an innate preference for humans, much like a butterfly's affection for flowers or a tree's yearning for sunlight. Chinese incense culture is the culmination of thousands of years of wisdom from the ancestors of the Chinese civilization, seamlessly blending philosophy, culture, medicine, pharmacology, wellness, aesthetics, and craftsmanship.

Against this rich cultural backdrop, we introduce the "Liandu Heart Incense" copper burner. This piece is not only an incense burner but also doubles as a handheld warmer, combining practicality with elegance. The design is inspired by the lotus-shaped Boshan incense burner. The lotus has long symbolized tranquility and purity, representing the spiritual pursuits of scholars and literati, while the Boshan burner, originating in the Han dynasty, is shaped like a mountain, with curling smoke symbolizing aspirations of transcending worldly concerns.

The "Liandu Heart Incense" copper burner fuses the imagery of the lotus and Boshan, preserving the beauty of the classical while showcasing modern design innovation. Each time incense is burned, it is a journey of the soul, as if traveling through time to experience the elegance and sentiments of the ancients. This burner not only soothes the mind and focuses thoughts but also scents clothing and harmonizes the ambiance. It supports a variety of incense types, including seal incense, tower incense, coil incense, stick incense, incense powder, and herbal incense, breaking the traditional limitation of single-type incense burners.

Technologically, the "Liandu Heart Incense" copper burner also features innovations. The connection points between the lotus pod lid and the lotus leaves on the burner body are meticulously calculated using a perforation matrix and aerodynamics principles, ensuring the incense burns thoroughly, with a combustion rate of up to 99%. In terms of materials, the "Liandu Heart Incense" copper burner is crafted from pure red copper, which has a warm luster and becomes even more beautiful with time. Red copper not only has excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance but is also recyclable and environmentally friendly.
