Chapter 875: True and False Xuande Furnace

Seeing this, Huo Sining and his party were stunned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

What was in this box was nothing else, it was an incense burner.

From the naked eye, this incense burner looks like a Qing Dynasty Xuande furnace, at a glance, it is a fine copper casting, the copper quality is excellent, and the skin shell is thick and ripe, and the whole body is sprinkled with gold.

Such a fine copper product, it stands to reason that it should be matched with a gorgeous and smooth shape, but this Xuande furnace is slightly flattened, look at the shape of a little bit of the legacy of the Xuande furnace, round belly, neck, flat bottom, abdomen swelled like melon type, longitudinally evenly distributed concave and convex, the carup is divided into multiple petals, the petals are plump and round, such as a child's buttocks.

Those who are familiar with the Xuande furnace know that the Xuande furnace with this texture should be the style of the late Qing Dynasty and the late Jiaqing period.

However, the shape of this Xuande furnace looks a little strange, some like a pumpkin-shaped furnace, but it is a little different from the traditional pumpkin-shaped furnace, but if you really want to say what is different, Huo Sining can't say.

"This is the Qing imitation Ming Xuande furnace, I don't know much about these, but my wife said that this Xuande furnace is a rare boutique in the Qing imitation. ”

Seeing Huo Sining staring at the incense burner, Mrs. Yan introduced with a smile, her eyes flickering, as if she was nostalgic for her past with her wife.

Although the Qing imitation is not as valuable as the genuine product of the Xuande Dynasty, but the incense burner in front of him is indeed a very well-preserved boutique, Li Quan couldn't help but ask after listening to the old lady's words: "Old lady, can we get our hands on this thing?"

The old lady nodded and said, "Since I took it out, I must see it, otherwise even if I am willing to sell it to you, you will not be sure in your hearts, right?" Boss Li, you are free, as long as you don't break it." ”

Li Quan immediately smiled: "Don't worry, we are all professionally trained." ”

After cleaning their hands, they sat back in their seats and picked up the incense burner one by one and looked up and down.

Huo Sining was the last person to see this Xuande furnace, she originally had an opinion with the old lady, thinking that this incense burner was really a Qing imitation of the Ming Xuande furnace, but when the incense burner was in her hand, after seeing the purple aura around the Xuande furnace, her hand couldn't help but be stunned.

When he was in Zhouzhuang, Huo Sining accidentally missed a white agate wine cup under the moon handed down by Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty, which was full of purple gas, and it was definitely an authentic white agate in the early Ming Dynasty.

Now this Xuande furnace in Huo Sining's hand actually has two layers of purple gas, the outer layer of purple gas looks very light, from the concentration point of view, it should be formed in the late Qing Dynasty, and the inner layer of purple gas is extremely rich, although the purple gas is not as thick as white agate, but it is not much different.

These two layers of purple gas of different thicknesses made Huo Sining realize that this Xuande furnace was definitely not as simple as she and Old Madam Yan thought.

Huo Sining's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously lowered his head and re-examined this Xuande furnace.

Through the eye of the sky, she scanned the Xuande furnace from front to back, left, right, inside and out, and at this look, sure enough, she found a problem.

In this copper furnace, she found a strange isolation layer, I don't know what material was used, but it did isolate this Xuande furnace into two layers.

Xuande furnace Huo Sining has not never seen it, but it is the first time Huo Sining has seen such a strange shape of this copper furnace with two layers inside and outside, and she subconsciously feels that there is a problem here.

The outer layer of copper seems to have been deliberately put on in the later stage, and it is unclear whether the purpose is to protect the material in the inner layer or to hide people's eyes and ears.

Huo Sining felt strange in his heart, and he didn't believe in evil, so he couldn't help but look at the copper furnace again, but when he looked at the bottom of the copper furnace, he made a new discovery.

Using the eye of the sky, she could clearly see through the thin copper compartment on the outside that there was something strange at the bottom of the original copper furnace.

The regular script seal is engraved with sixteen characters squarely at the bottom of the copper furnace.

Forget the ancestors and sins, burn incense, Ming Chongzhen, Yihai Yuntai master system.

These words have fully explained the origin of this incense burner.

The so-called Yuntai, also known as the platform, is not an ordinary place, but the Jianji Hall in the Forbidden City of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Jianji Hall is not famous, later the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the Forbidden City was occupied, and the Jianji Hall was changed to the Baohe Hall in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the place where the incense hall was tested.

Therefore, the master of the Yuntai in the Chongzhen period is self-evident, that is, Emperor Chongzhen himself.

After figuring this out, it is not difficult to understand when you look at this copper furnace.

Yihai year, that is, the eighth year of Chongzhen, 1635. In this year, a major event occurred in the Ming Dynasty, the rogue Zhang Xianzhong and the king of Chuang Li Zicheng rebelled to the east, Zhang Xianzhong surrounded Fengyang City in the early morning of the fifteenth day of the first month of the foggy first month, and in less than half a day, he completely annihilated the 20,000 officers and troops guarding Fengyang, and captured Fengyang City.

Fengyang City is far away from the Forbidden City, but Fengyang is the cemetery of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents, the ancestor of the Zhu family, and there is also the Longxing Temple where Zhu Yuanzhang made his fortune as a monk, which has always been regarded as the dragon vein by the descendants of the Zhu family.

But as soon as Zhang Xianzhong came, he took Fengyang City in half a day, not only cut down hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses in the imperial tomb of the Zhu family, but also demolished the imperial tomb and Longxing Temple, and dug the royal ancestral tomb.

After Emperor Chongzhen learned the news, he immediately put on mourning clothes, ran to the temple, knelt in front of the ancestral tablet and cried loudly, and ordered the officials of the court and the opposition to handle official affairs with vegetarian food, and mobilized 70,000 elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the rebel army.

If you contact the Xuande furnace in front of you, it is not difficult to understand the meaning of the sixteen words engraved on it.

Because Liukou destroyed the ancestral tomb and the foundation of the dragon vein, Emperor Chongzhen felt ashamed of his ancestors, so he asked his ancestors to have spiritual energy to condemn himself in the sky, and remember this shame on the incense burner.

Seeing this, Huo Sining can finally be sure that this Xuande furnace was manipulated by someone to turn a real Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace into a Qing imitation style.

Figuring out the origin of this incense burner, Huo Sining's face showed a strange smile.

This incense burner is the dowry of Mrs. Yan, which shows that she and her husband and even her father are all eye-catching.

The outer layer of this incense burner was deliberately smeared with a layer of copper, covering up the original appearance of this incense burner, and it seems that the traces of Qing imitation are very obvious, so it is mistaken for this Xuande furnace of Qing imitation Ming.

Although I don't know why the original owner of this Xuande furnace will do this, but this is a good thing for Huo Sining, the price difference between the genuine products of the Qing imitation and the Xuande Dynasty is nearly ten times, since she has encountered such a good thing, and can buy it at the price of the Qing imitation, she will be a fool if she doesn't accept it.
