What do people often say is broken incense? What do you mean by broken incense?

1, "Duanxiang" is a wrong expression of gender inequality in the past. New society, new fashion, equality between men and women, girls are also descendants. That is, the "door-to-door son-in-law", recognizing relatives and claiming are all "incense".

2. In a patriarchal society, men are always the main body, and women are considered subordinate, splashing water and not entering the family. Therefore, a couple who only have one girl but not one boy is considered as "broken incense" and will be looked down upon by people in the folk. Previously childless people, if they have the conditions, will try their best to "adopt" a son to continue the incense. They will not recognize the incense. Nowadays, the idea of advocating equality between men and women is not as serious as before, and daughters pass on their children.

In the folk, only men can enter the family and continue to burn incense. Generally, daughters who are married outside the home are not allowed to enter the home and do not continue to burn incense. Unless the conditions are met, the children obtained will follow the surname of the old father-in-law, and the descendants of the father-in-law will continue to burn incense.

4. Fragrance-breaking is based on the surname clan, which is considered to be a "unique room" and "fragrance-breaking" without men. Breaking incense means not only offering sacrifices to ancestors, but also worshipping and burning incense in the main Taoist temple, which also means that there is no worship in the Taoist temple of Shentang. Generally, the flourishing temples and Taoist temples are dedicated to burning incense, that is to say, the incense has been burned all the time, and the incense has been broken, that is to say, no one burns incense to worship sacrifices and is left out in the cold. Therefore, the Taoist temple is also very incense, so if the incense is not broken, there will be a feeling of coldness and decline.
