Incense burners made with the Longshan black pottery craftsmanship.

The Longshan black pottery craftsmanship has a long history, and the incense burners reflect the continuation of this ancient craftsmanship in the field of religious culture. During religious rituals, the burning of incense plays a role in purifying the space and creating a sacred atmosphere. The Longshan black pottery incense burners play the role of containers in this process, enabling the incense to burn in a proper space. With their black appearance and simple yet primitive texture, they seem to possess the power to absorb impurities and gather the sacred. When the incense burns in the incense burners and the smoke curls up, in the view of believers, this smoke can purify the surrounding energy field, dispel the disturbances of the secular world, and fill the religious venues with a sacred ambience. This implies that through the combination of the incense burners and incense, a sacred space can be created, which is conducive to the communication between believers and deities and the purification of the mind.
