The Textual Research of Chinese Herbal Medicine Qinan and its Historical Origin

Qinan is the highest quality agarwood,and the lack of systematic historical literature research in the academic circle at present has restricted the development of the agarwood industry to some extent.In order to trace the history,this paper discussed the development and change of Qinan,systematically investigated the origin of the Chinese herbal Qinan agarwood,the origin of the name of Qinan and its historical changes.According to the textual research,there are two basic plants of Qinan:Chinese Aquilaria sinensis(Lour.)Spreng.and Vietnamese A.crassna Pierre ex Lecomte.The word"Qinan"was derived from Sanskrit words"tagara"or"samghārāma",which introduced by Buddhism in the Sui and Tang dynasties.In the late Ming Dynasty,Qinan began to refer specifically to high-quality agarwood,while Qinan also refers to the seedlings of A.sinensis,which can produce high-quality agarwood at present.The writers believed that the standards of high-quality Qinan agarwood and the seedlings of the Qinan should be established,so as to promote the healthy and orderly development of the agarwood industry.
