Chapter 112 Xuande Furnace

Meng Xiaoxing continued: "My brother Zirui likes some old things, so let me bring him to our village to collect some old things. Your family was not a landlord before! So let's see if you still have old things in your home .”

When Bai Zirui watched TV dramas in his previous life, he knew that Meng Xiaoxing was a straightforward person, but he couldn't expose his scars!
Landlord Liu knew Meng Xiaoxing's temperament very well, and he said with emotion: "Xiao Xing, we are all from the same village, so where are the old things in our house?"

Bai Zirui said persuasively: "Xiao Xing was only young at that time, she never did anything to harm your family, she is a straightforward person, she accidentally mentioned your sad things, please bear with me!"

After listening to Bai Zirui's words, Landlord Liu felt much better. He said in a gentle tone, "There are still two old items, and we still use them at home. It's impossible to sell them to you."

Bai Zirui smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, let me see your old things. If I like it, I can pay a high price for it. Others won't talk about your background anymore. You can improve your life at home openly and honestly." .”

After listening to Bai Zirui's words, Landlord Liu's mind became a little looser. When his family came into his father's hands, his family began to fall into poverty. When he came to him, he became even more impoverished. If this young man really paid a high price for two old things, they can be used well. Improve the life at home so that the wife and children will not suffer with him.

Landlord Liu pondered for a while and made a decision in his mind, then opened the door and invited the two of them to enter the house. He smiled and said, "Young man, come in and have a look! Xiao Xing should have introduced the situation of our house to you.

The things in our house are all good things. The bed is made of high-quality wood. It has neither been wormed nor broken for many years and is strong! "

After hearing what he said, Bai Zirui secretly laughed in his heart, he just said he wouldn't sell it!Now Wang Po started to sell melons - selling and boasting, boasting that her own things are good things, just to raise the price.

It seems that Landlord Liu is an old and cunning guy. It is not easy to fool him. If he wants to buy his bed smoothly, he will inevitably suffer from bleeding.When Landlord Liu led the two of them to his house, Bai Zirui saw a small palm-sized incense burner on a stool at the door of his house.

Bai Zirui stepped forward and picked up the small incense burner to inspect it. It is about 5-8 cm high and 7-10 cm in diameter. It has round lips, a short and thin neck, a flat and bulging belly, and dragons and phoenixes carved on the body of the incense burner. There are four colors of gold, gold and purple. Looking at it at a glance, the shape of the whole incense burner is crystal clear and simple, and it looks like a back-to-basics feeling.

He turned the censer over and saw that at the bottom was a single-frame regular script six-character inscription "Daming Xuande Furnace", which was inscribed by the royal family. The year of the Japanese yen is fat, and the clothes are not crossed by the knife.

Bai Zirui's heart surged up, and he shouted in his heart: "This... this is the Xuande furnace. Is it genuine or a fake?"

Xuande stove is a copper incense stove designed and supervised by Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji in the third year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, referred to as "Xuande stove".Xuande Furnace is the first bronze ware made of wind-milled copper in Chinese history.

In order to produce a high-quality copper furnace, under the personal supervision of Zhu Zhanji, the entire production process, including copper smelting and modeling, must be obtained from classics such as "Xuanhe Bogu Tu" and "Archaeological Map" as well as hundreds of pieces of Song Dynasty in the secret collection of the Inner Palace. In the Yuanming kiln, the shape that fits the applicable objects and the elegant style is selected, drawn into a pattern, and then presented to him for personal viewing, and the source of the pattern and the source of the allusion are explained. After screening and confirmation, it is cast into a The physical samples should be reviewed, and the casting can only be started after they are satisfied.

Xuande Furnace is the first bronze ware made of brass in Chinese history.In order to make a high-quality copper stove, Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty personally supervised it, which is really rare in history.

Bai Zirui took a deep breath to calm his mind, and carefully observed the Xuande burner in his hand again. The shape of this incense burner is made of two kinds of crafts: sprinkling gold and sprinkling gold. The place is golden yellow, it looks golden, and there is a layer of hard handed down ancient on the surface. The color is moist and delicate, and there seems to be a strange light from the inside, which makes people feel endless charm.

The production and smelting methods of Xuande Furnace are very particular. Generally, copperware only needs four smelting, while Xuande Furnace needs as many as twelve smelting, and it includes imported red copper from Siam, as well as iron, aluminum, gold, silver and other materials. 10 kinds of precious metals, the process is very cumbersome and complicated.

Except for the Xuande Furnace cast for the first time in the third year of Xuande, the Xuande Furnace smelted in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were all imitations. is very different.

After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the real copper incense burners cast in Xuande for three years are extremely rare. Even the imitated Xuande incense burners in later dynasties are expensive in later generations, and the high-quality products are even more sought after.

Because of the rarity and rarity of authentic Xuande furnaces, in order to make huge profits, from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China, antique merchants have never stopped imitating Xuande furnaces.

These meticulously cast imitation Xuande furnaces are comparable to the real ones, and even experts cannot distinguish them, and the Xuande furnaces cast in Xuande for three years with sprinkled gold and wrong gold craftsmanship only stay in legends.

The Xuande furnace in Bai Zirui's hand now looks thick and elegant with a touch of elegance. Its color blends in and emits strange light from the dimness. Bian (Zijing) commented on Xuande Furnace's statement that "the beauty of Xuande Furnace is that the color of the treasure contains pearls, and the appearance is dull and quiet".

After Bai Zirui observed it carefully, the material of the Xuande stove in his hand was just polished copper, and the inscriptions cast on the bottom looked grand, thick and steady. lesser.

The patina on the furnace body is warm and moist, and the treasure is contained inside. The natural patina is rusty, even and stable.

The arc and lines of the shape of the copper furnace are smooth, and the part of the copper furnace is slightly slanted, making it feel stable and beautiful.It looks dignified, calm and dignified, condensing the style of royal aristocrats.

The furnace is particularly delicate, with a layer of hard gold on the surface, which seems to emit a strange light from the inner body, just like the soft and delicate skin of a beautiful woman, which is ever-changing and has endless charm.

Bai Zirui stroked the gold-stitched craftsmanship of the Xuande furnace, he could almost conclude that this was one of the [-] Xuande furnaces cast by Xuande in three years, although he was ecstatic in his heart, his face remained silent.
