Cangran Brand Story
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the daughter of the Qingzhou dyeing craftsman Su prayed for her seriously ill mother. She collected honey and soybeans to make wax, and dyed seven feet of blue silk with morning dew. She burned the silk as a lamp in front of the Buddha every night. Miraculously, the silk gave off a plant fragrance when it burned, and her mother gradually recovered. Later, the secret recipe was lost in the war, leaving only a sentence in the fragments: "Those who dye the sky blue need to use wishes as a medium." In 2021, Lin Ran, a Chinese perfumer living in France, accidentally found half a piece of charred Song brocade in the ancient market of Provence. Wild beeswax, soybean ash and 27 kinds of herbal essential oils were detected in the carbonized texture. She returned to Lingnan to establish "Cangran", using modern aromatherapy technology to reproduce the ancient method of "burning silk for healing", and condensing the wishing ceremony into candles-every wisp of smoke is an unfulfilled wish that has traveled through thousands of years.
