Successive Sect Leaders
Lin Zhangshui
First generation
In 1910 (the second year of the Xuantong era of the Qing dynasty), Lin Zhangshui established a medicinal‑incense workshop, naming it “Boshantang.” Since its founding, it has, together with the Huaqiao Temple, provided free herbal‑incense treatments and rendered countless acts of mercy, proactively guarding against illnesses, epidemics, and other calamities.
Lin Qingchi
Second generation
The second-generation heir, Lin Qingchi, son of Lin Zhangshui, has organized and refined the incense‑related classics collected by his ancestors, restoring and developing numerous traditional incense formulas. The natural health‑promoting incense products he crafts have spread throughout Southeast Asia, carried by the followers of the God of Medicine, Baosheng Dadi.
Cai Hanjing
Third generation
In 1960, the “Boshantang” brand was merged into the Quanzhou Mosquito Coil Factory as part of a public–private joint venture. The third-generation successor, Cai Hanjing, exported the products through foreign trade, with sales reaching Southeast Asia, Japan, and the Hong Kong and Macao regions.
Zhuang Yanyu
Fourth generation
Zhuang Yanyu, the fourth-generation inheritor of “Boshan Tang,” apprenticed under Ms. Cai Hanjing, thereby receiving the传承 of incense‑making techniques and becoming the fourth-generation successor. She subsequently renamed “Boshan Tang” to “Chenyu Xiang.”
