Abstract

As the two most prosperous dynasties in the development history of Chinese incense burners, the Tang and Song dynasties were the climax of the development history of Chinese incense burners, with abundant existing traceable materials. This paper takes the economic, cultural and technological development of the Tang and Song dynasties as the background, explores the role of the social environment and aesthetics in promoting the development of incense burners, as well as the influence of the introduction of religious culture on the design of incense burners, and analyzes the performance of the secularization process of incense burners in the Tang and Song dynasties.
