术语“提炉”的详细信息

英译术语:

portable censer

汉语语境:

南北朝洪州窑提炉十分罕见，那个时代的香炉大多是带有托盘的五足炉。提炉最早可能是从汉代的香薰或博山炉演绎过来的。香薰主要是居室卫生用具，将檀香木片放进炉里慢慢焚烧，香气四溢，清脑提神除臭，驱邪避恶，起到了净化居室环境的作用。到了南北朝时，逐渐演变成香炉，而它的文化内涵发生了变化，成了用于佛事和祭祀的礼器。

英语语境:

Portable censers produced by Hongzhou kiln in Northern and Southern Dynasties are scarcely seen these days. Incense censers of that time were usually five-legged burners with trays. Portable censer, at the very beginning, may evolve from aroma censer or Boshan censer produced in Han Dynasty. Aroma censer was mainly used to keep rooms clean. When sandalwood chips were burned in aroma censer, the whole room would be redolent with exquisite fragrance, which can invigorate people's mind and deodorize unpleasant smell as well as keep evil spirit away, exerting a function of purifying the environment of the room. By the time of Northern and Southern Dynasties, aroma censers, having gradually developed into incense censers, changed in cultural connotation and became sacrificial vessels used in Buddhist ceremony and sacrificial practices.
