Xun Yu's Fragrance

Xun Yu, the core strategist of Cao Cao's faction, is known for his elegant demeanor and meticulous appearance. He was fond of using spices and always carried a faint, pleasant scent. It's said that if he sat on someone's couch, the spot would retain his fragrance for three days after he left, earning him the moniker 'Xun Ling Liu Xiang' (Xun's lingering fragrance). Xun Yu not only valued cleanliness and fragrance for himself but also kindly gifted small pouches of his own blended incense to young subordinates or aides who visited, encouraging them to stay refreshed. These thoughtful and gentle gestures made countless scholars and notable figures feel a sense of warmth and deep respect towards him.
