西藏尼木藏香制作技艺的变迁

The Changes of Tibetan Incense Making Skills

西藏尼木藏香的传统制作技艺复杂考究,大致可划分为木材浸泡、磨制柏木泥、配药、磨料、搅拌、挤香、晾晒、捆扎、包装等工艺流程。随着西藏旅游开发事业的蓬勃发展,尼木藏香的制作工艺随之发生了变化,主要表现在"真假藏香""手工和机器""性别结构"等方面。文化遗产的旅游开发应把保护放在开发之前,文化遗产的核心内涵最应受到重视。丧失了核心文化内涵的文化遗产开发,将与可持续发展理念背道而驰。

Traditionally, the process of making Tibetan incense is very complicated and exquisite, which is roughly divided into following steps： wood soaking, grinding cedarwood into mud, dispensing medicine, abrasives, mixing, extrusion, drying, strapping and packing. With the vigorous development of Tibet tourism, the producing skill of Tibetan incense changed correspondingly, which mainly embodies in ＂true or fake Tibetan incense＂, ＂handcraft and machine＂ and ＂gender structure＂, etc. The concerning departments should focus on protecting cultural heritage before the tourism exploration. The core value of cultural heritage should be attached great importance. If the exploration to cultural heritage loses its core value, it would run counter to the conception of sustainable development.
