There are many types of incense burner used in this rite, and ‘hand-held incense burner' is a very special one. The Daoism ‘hand-held incense burner', or ‘magpie tail incense burner'（鵲尾爐）, is different from other perfume incense burners in that it has a long handle. Therefore, compared with other perfume incense burner, its function has duality. Daoism ‘hand-held incense burner' originated from the ritual instrument ‘yu zan' in Zhou Dynasty. In addition to the function of ordinary incense burner, it also has the function of Gui（圭）and Jian（簡）.
