古人对于这个时间的概念可以用焚香的长度来计算。“时刻香器”顶部的铜尺是长度工具，里面的香是计时工具，时间的长短与香的长短，形成了一个非常有趣的连接，这种连接将时间跟空间的概念进行了融合，通过时刻香器，让人们意识这个有趣的连接点，就是该设计的重要理念，也是香道文化魅力的一部分。

     The ancients' concept of this time can be calculated by the length of incense. The copper ruler on the top of the "Time Incense Device" is a length tool, and the incense inside is a timing tool. The length of time and the length of the incense form a very interesting connection. This connection integrates the concepts of time and space. People realize this interesting connection point through this time incense device, which is an important concept of the design as well as part of the charm of Xiangdao culture.
