At around 2000 BCE, Ancient China began the use of incense in the religious sense, namely for worship. [18] Incense was used by Chinese cultures from Neolithic times and became more widespread in the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. [19] The earliest documented use of incense comes from the ancient Chinese, who employed incense composed of herbs and plant products (such as cassia, cinnamon, styrax, and sandalwood) as a component of numerous formalized ceremonial rites. [13] Incense usage reached its peak during the Song dynasty, with numerous buildings erected specifically for incense ceremonies.A survey of risk factors for lung cancer, also conducted in Taiwan, noted an inverse association between incense burning and adenocarcinoma of the lung, though the finding was not deemed significant. [60] A similar utilitarian use of incense can be found in the post- Reformation Church of England. Although the ceremonial use of incense was abandoned until the Oxford Movement, it was common to have incense (typically frankincense) burned before grand occasions, when the church would be crowded. The frankincense was carried about by a member of the vestry before the service in a vessel called a 'perfuming pan'. In iconography of the day, this vessel is shown to be elongated and flat, with a single long handle on one side. The perfuming pan was used instead of the thurible, as the latter would have likely offended the Protestant sensibilities of the 17th and 18th centuries. If you're looking for a more traditional way to burn powder incense, then you can always use a charcoal briquette. These briquettes are designed to hold the heat in and allow the incense to slowly burn over time. It will help to keep the powder in place and will also help to diffuse the scent.
