OP is following an incense recipe "Goose Pear Curtain Incense". It is named as such because in ancient times the bed is generally separated from the rest of the room with a bed curtain, and the incense is meant to be used behind the curtain at night.
Notes:
Some say the modern equivalent of "goose pears" (鹅梨) are quinces. Others say the closest equivalents are Chinese white pears, etc.
OP is likely using the modern definitions of liang/qian, but the amounts these measurements refer to have changed over time, referring to more and more. In general it's just a 10:1 ratio and however many number of pears you wish. (The recipe states 10 pears for 1 liang agarwood and 1 qian sandalwood.)
People interpret the steaming instruction differently. Some say the recipe says to steam three times, others say to steam until just after it boils.
The "dryness" mentioned in the video is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine. It is one of the six factors in nature and an excess of it hurts the lungs etc.
Love is one of the parts of life humans chase after in many ways. Not just in ways of romantic desire and sexual interactions but the love of family, friends and love of oneself. It is a common topic when it comes to magic and divination so with that - may this be an easy reference for all of you looking to incorporate love of any kind into your craft. Please note: this isn't every possible correspondence out there - this is more a quick reference guide. Happy witching~
