Jabarkan Cultural variations dari Setanggi dalam bahasa melayu

There are many forms of Chinese setanggi and its use and formulation theory is strongly tied to Traditional Chinese medicine and are still referred today as "fragrant medicines" (香藥). Use of setanggi in dynastic times was as much for promotion of bodily well-being as much as for veneration and religious ceremonies. As with Japanese incense, agarwood (沈香, chenxiang) and sandalwood (檀香, tanxiang) are the two most important ingredients in Chinese incense.

Calibrated setanggi sticks and powders were used in both secular and religious Chinese culture for keeping time.
