Description

In Lombok, Indonesia, villagers call agarwood as”Ke Tinmuman”. The elderly on the island firmly believe that old agarwood trees are inhabited by Gods (called Setan in Indonesian) and cannot be cut down. This custom has been passed down from generation to generation, and future generations are warned not to disturb their practice unless the local aborigines (orang primitif or orang kadai) fully communicate with the Gods living in the agarwood tree in another language and ask him to move to another tree. On the agarwood tree, you can only take it if you agree.

If people want to obtain agarwood, they must set out at dawn, travel through the night, and arrive at the mountain late at night. They should go to bed directly and pray for dreams. If they are lucky, they can get instructions to get agarwood in return. Because the best agarwood is often buried in the soil, “the aura it nourishes will never wither, and will not decay after a hundred years.” It is covered by layers of dead branches and leaves, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as “finding a needle in a haystack.”Without luck, it is impossible to find this treasure.

Borneo, known as Kalimantan in Indonesia, is the third largest island in the world. This island has always been regarded as out of reach – a dreamland. Since ancient times, the Chinese have known about this large island in Southeast Asia. As early as the Southern Liang Dynasty, there had been maritime exchanges between China and Borneo. This historical record is mentioned in the “Book of Liang”. In ancient literature, this place was once called Bo Ni and Bo Luo. According to historical records, Zheng He passed here twice during his seven voyages to the West. This is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth and a coveted research location for zoologists and botanists around the world. New species are discovered every month in this vast ancient secret. The mysterious and charming Borneo attracts travelers from all over the world with its charm, which is both intoxicating and frightening. It also hides more unknown secrets, waiting for brave explorers to discover.
