在香樟公园的怀抱中，首先迎来的是一场关于沉香的科普盛宴。

通过生动有趣的讲解，同学们了解到沉香的形成——那是大自然与时间共同雕琢的艺术品，每一块沉香背后都藏着风雨雷电、虫蛀蚁蚀的故事。这不仅让学子们对沉香有了更深的认识，更激发了他们对大自然奥秘的好奇心与敬畏之心。

随后，踏入沉香园，同学们亲眼见证了沉香树从幼苗到参天大树的成长历程，以及那神秘莫测的结香过程。并在专业人士的带领下，学习了如何识别沉香树，了解了沉香形成的自然条件与人为干预的智慧，每一步都充满了对自然与匠心的赞叹。

最令人兴奋的部分莫过于亲身体验非遗取香技艺了！在师傅的指导下，国际化融合高中的同学们小心翼翼地用特制工具勾取沉香，每一刀都需谨慎，因为这不仅是对沉香的尊重，也是对传统文化的传承。那一刻，深刻体会到了“沉香来自不易”的真谛。

没有豪华的厨房，也没有复杂的设备，同学们仅凭一双巧手和周围的自然环境，就地取材，有的小组到鸡舍找鸡蛋，有的小组采摘沉香叶，有的小组检枯树枝。

他们利用山内清泉，慢慢煮沸，让沉香的香气与茶叶的醇厚缓缓交融，再小心翼翼地将一颗颗普通的鸡蛋浸入这独特的汤液中。时间在这里变得温柔而漫长，每一分钟都是对美味的耐心等待。

活动的高潮部分，莫过于亲手制作非遗手作香印。在色彩斑斓的香粉中，学生们发挥创意，印制出一个个独一无二的香印作品，它们不仅是对今日美好时光的见证，更是将这份非遗文化带回家、传递给更多人的桥梁。

此次社会实践，不仅是一次对中山非物质文化遗产的深度探索，更是一次心灵的洗礼与成长的见证。在这片充满文化底蕴的土地上，弘科学子们学会了敬畏自然、尊重传统，更收获了宝贵的团队记忆与个人感悟。让我们带着这份独特的经历，继续在知识的海洋中航行，向着更加辉煌的未来进发！

In the embrace of Xiangzhang Park, we first welcomed a science popularization feast about agarwood. 

Through vivid and exciting explanations, we learned about agarwood's formation- a work of art crafted by nature and time. Behind each piece of agarwood lies a story of wind, rain, lightning, insect infestation, and ant erosion. This deepens our understanding of agarwood and inspires our curiosity and reverence for the mysteries of nature.

Subsequently, we stepped into the agarwood garden and witnessed firsthand the growth process of agarwood trees, from seedlings to towering trees, and the mysterious and unpredictable process of producing incense. Under the guidance of professionals, experts in the field of agarwood cultivation and processing, we learned how to identify agarwood trees, understood the natural conditions under which agarwood is formed, and appreciated the wisdom of human intervention. Every step was filled with admiration for nature and craftsmanship.

The most exciting part is undoubtedly experiencing the art of extracting fragrance from intangible cultural heritage firsthand! Under the guidance of our master, we carefully used special tools to pick up agarwood. Each knife needed to be careful because it not only showed respect for agarwood but also inherited traditional culture. At that moment, we deeply experienced the true meaning of 'agarwood comes from hard work.'

There is no luxurious kitchen or complex equipment. Students rely solely on their skillful hands and the surrounding natural environment to source materials locally. Some groups go to the chicken coop to find eggs, some groups pick agarwood leaves, and some groups inspect withered tree branches. They use the clear springs in the mountains to slowly boil, blending the aroma of agarwood with the richness of tea leaves, and then carefully immerse ordinary eggs one by one into this unique soup. 

Time becomes gentle and long here, every minute is a patient wait for delicious food.

The event's climax is undoubtedly the handmade production of intangible cultural heritage and fragrance seals. We unleash our creativity and print unique fragrance prints in the colorful fragrance powder. They are witnesses to today's beautiful times and bridges for us to bring back this intangible cultural heritage and pass it on to more people.

This social practice is not only a deep exploration of Zhongshan's intangible cultural heritage but also a witness to the baptism and growth of the soul. In this land full of cultural heritage, we have learned to respect nature and traditions and have also gained valuable team memories and personal insights. Let us continue to sail in the ocean of knowledge with this unique experience and move towards a more brilliant future!
