In traditional Chinese culture, people hang blessing plaques on temple trees to seek good fortune. However, this practice burdens the trees and the environment. "???? (Qifu)," made from incense ash featuring the character "? (blessings)," gradually dissolves under rain and falls under the trees, symbolizing wish fulfillment. The minerals in its chemical composition benefit plant growth. This process represents the gradual integration of the wish in line with the beautiful symbolism of the traditional Chinese idiom, conveying that hope for blessings is now subtly nurturing the environment.
