How did ancient China record the fragrance of the human body?

In the history of our country, there were some women who were favored by the emperor because of their delicate fragrance, such as Xi Shi and Yang Yuhuan.

Xishi is a famous beauty in our country. Because of her fragrance, she was selected by Fan Li, a doctor of the State of Yue, who used a beauty trick to give her to King Wu Fucha. The King of Wu was so enamored by Xi Shi that he specially built the Perfume Creek, Incense Picking Trail, Baihua Island, Flower Pond, Bijin Spring, Beauty Palace, etc. for her. He played with Xi Shi in the fragrant atmosphere every day, and did not even care about the affairs of the court. . Ten years later, he was destroyed by the Yue King Gou Jian and committed suicide in Gusu City.

Xuanzong, the sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty in my country, visited the Hot Spring Palace in the 28th year of Kaiyuan. He met a beautiful girl, whose fragrance was overwhelming. It is Concubine Yang.

Xuanzong built a bath for Concubine Yang and put perfume on it for the concubine to bathe. The imperial concubine suffered from hyperhidrosis, and her sweat could soak through the fragrant handkerchief. Xuanzong felt that her sweat was fragrant, so he built an agarwood pavilion for her. Xiang Fei was brought back to Beijing as a trophy when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty invaded the Western Regions. Xiang Fei was from Kashgar, Xinjiang. Because of her peculiar fragrance, she immediately fascinated Emperor Qianlong and was named Concubine Rong. Her favor never faded and she spent 28 spring and autumn years in the palace. Some people think that the aroma of Xiang Fei may be due to the fact that she was born in the Western Regions, ate a lot of beef and mutton, and her subcutaneous fat secreted a special smell.
