香烛, or incense candles, are traditional items used in various cultures for their aromatic properties. They are typically made from a combination of natural materials, such as essential oils, wax, and plant extracts. When lit, 香烛 release fragrant smoke that can create a calming atmosphere, often used during meditation or religious ceremonies. In many cultures, 香烛 are associated with rituals and celebrations. For example, in Chinese culture, they are commonly used during Taoist and Buddhist ceremonies to honor ancestors and deities. The pleasant scent and soft glow of 香烛 can enhance the spiritual experience and promote relaxation.
