What is the difference between fragrant charcoal and stink charcoal?

This is explained in the Chinese dictionary: fragrant charcoal: Refers to spices that burn into charcoal. But I think it is activated carbon made from anthracite coal, which has low ash, low sulfur and low volatile matter. . . This is the first time I heard such a term. I don’t know how to explain the stinky charcoal. Please give an expert answer.

Shanxi people have a unique understanding of coal, forming a rich and colorful coal cultural vocabulary in Jin dialect, which shows the important position of coal in the lives of Shanxi people. 　　Shanxi people call coal very carefully, collectively referring to coal as "coal" (Taiyuan, Qingxu, Pingding, Heshun, Loufan, Lanxian, Linfen, Fenxi, Daixian, Guangling, Changzi, Qinxian, Shanxi) Cheng, Yangcheng) or "Tan" (Pingyao, Xiaoyi, Lishi, Linxian, Fenyang, Xixian, Shilou, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, Datong, Changzhi, Pingshun, Linfen, Huozhou, Wanrong, Yongji). 　　The lumpy coal is called "charcoal" (Taiyuan, Qingxu, Pingding, Heshun, Loufan, Lanxian, Shanyin, Changzi, Jincheng, Lingchuan, Jixian), "charcoal block" (Qingxu), "charcoal lump" (Pingyao, Pingshun) , "Tan Ge Da" (Xiaoyi, Fenyang, Xixian, Xinzhou, Yongji), "Daqan" (Lishi, Linxian, Wutai, Shuozhou), "Ge Da Tan" (Shilou), "Hei Tan" (Fenxi), "Qian Tan" (Fenxi) ), "charcoal" (Wuzhai), "charcoal" (Datong, Xinzhou, Tianzhen, Wanrong, Yongji), "kuan (er) charcoal" (Tianzhen, Yuncheng), "geda coal" (Guangling), "coal coal" (Guangling) ), "Tange Lazi" (Changzhi), "Coal Block" (Qinxian), "Gedazi Coal" (Linfen), "Gedazi Tan" (Linfen), "Suikeli" (Shuozhou), "Tanhuaner" (Wenxi, Xinjiang). 　　The bituminous coal is called "fat coal" (Taiyuan), "fat coal" (Qingxu, Qixian), "yaner coal" (Taigu), "sticky coal" (Pingyao, Huozhou), "soft coal" (Wenshui, Loufan), "bituminous coal" (Linxian, Lanxian, Shilou, Shanyin), "bituminous coal" (Fenyang, Guangling, Qinxian, Yangcheng, Linfen), "bituminous coal" "Black charcoal" (Fenxi, Wanrong), "Yanyan charcoal" (Xinzhou), "Tanyan charcoal" (Shuozhou), "charcoal" (Datong), "Daxan" (Tianzhen), "stinky charcoal" (Changzhi, Pingshun), "stinky charcoal" (Changzi, Jincheng, Lingchuan), "smoky charcoal" (Wenxi, Xinjiang, Yuncheng, Jixian), "big charcoal" (Yongji). 　　Anthracite is called "stupid coal" (Taiyuan), "coal" (Qingxu, Taigu, Qixian, Pingding, Gaoping), "dry charcoal" (Linfen, Huozhou, Wenxi, Xinjiang, Pingyao, Fenxi), "dry coal" (Linfen), "hard coal" (Wenshui, Loufan, Jincheng), "big vein coal" (Pingding), "small vein coal" (Pingding), "anthracite" (Linxian) , Fenyang, Xi County, Shilou, Wuzhai, Shuozhou, Shanyin, Guangling, Qin County, Ji County, Wanrong, Yongji), "Anthracite" (Lan County), "Anthracite" (Yuncheng, Yongji Ji, Xinzhou) "simmering charcoal" (Tianzhen), "xiang charcoal" (Changzhi, Pingshun), "xiang coal" (Lingchuan, Jincheng), "cigarette" (Yangcheng), "block charcoal" (Shuozhou). 　　Among the many names for coal, some are named after the external form of coal, such as "Tan Ge Da", "Mei Ke La", "Tan Ge Lazi", etc. ； Some are called according to the smell, such as "fragrant charcoal", "fragrant coal", "stinky charcoal", "stinky coal", etc. ； Others are named according to the properties of coal, such as "sticky coal", "soft coal", etc. Shanxi people's detailed classification and diverse names for coal are also rare in other dialects across the country.

This is the first time I heard about this concept. The moderator of :handshake is really awesome.

“Are "fragrant" and "stinky" classified based on whether there is black smoke when burning? Those that emit black smoke are called smelly charcoal, and those that don’t emit black smoke are called fragrant charcoal. Personal opinion, haha.
