The so-called real gold is not afraid of fire, of course, it does not mean that fire does not burn gold. On the contrary, gold does not have a high melting point and can be easily fired. However, gold is chemically stable and does not easily react with other substances.
Therefore, even if the gold is burned, the gold nuggets obtained after cooling are still the same color and weight as the gold before burning, and there is no oxidation and loss, which is why there is a saying that real gold is not afraid of fire.
However, the temperature of these flames is now very high, but it does not touch the melting point of the large incense burner. Even though the surface of the large incense burner has appeared reddish, there is no sign of melting.
Seeing this situation, Yu Feibai nodded and said, "Old Qian, your judgment is right. If the quality of the thing is poor, it should have been melted long ago at this time. Hehe, ginger is still old and spicy. ”
For Yu Feibai's flattery, Qian Lao smiled indifferently and waved his hand: "It's almost, put out the fire." ”
"Okay!"
Yu Feibai nodded hurriedly, beckoned Wang Guan and them, and moved the remnants of the firewood aside. After that, under the reminder of Qian Lao, everyone waited patiently and let the big incense burner cool down slowly.
Ten minutes had passed, and the fiery aura on the surface of the large incense burner had dissipated. At this time, Yu Feibai couldn't hold it anymore, took a slender piece of firewood, and gently poked it on the big incense burner.
"Flutter!"
Under the gaze of everyone, the surface of the furnace body suddenly cracked, forming a crack-like texture.
"No, I haven't tried it yet. Is this cracking? Yu Feibai was also taken aback, a little at a loss.
"It's fine."
Wang saw it clearly, and immediately reminded with a smile: "It's just a surface crack." ”
"Hey, it seems to be." Yu Feibai and the others took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, and the cracks on the surface of the furnace body had a feeling of detachment, rather than traces that went deep into the interior.
"Haha, it's really greasy." When Yu Feibai saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, and his reaction was not slow. Immediately waved the firewood strip in his hand and scraped it fiercely on the stove.
In an instant, large swaths of charred black things flew to the ground. Everyone's eyes also gathered on the body of the furnace, and saw that the place where it was scraped showed a bright yellow color, and even a very warm and delicate brilliant luster.
"This is, golden ......"
Yu Feibai's eyes widened, and he reached out to touch it.
"Stupid."
Wang Guan hurriedly stopped, crying and laughing: "It's still hot." I'm not afraid of burns. ”
"He sees money and wants money, not his life."
Tang Qinghua couldn't help but shake his head. Disdainfully: "A typical person dies for money, and a bird dies for food." ”
"I forgot about it for a while." Yu Feibai smiled embarrassedly, looked at the stove carefully, and his eyes were a little more puzzled: "But things don't look like gold." ”
"Who told you it was golden." Qian Lao's expression was inexplicably excited, and he had a kind of suppressed surprise: "You quickly scrape off the outer layer while it is hot, so as not to completely cold and solidify." ”
When Wang Guan and the others heard this, they hurriedly took action and each took a wooden stick. Stand at different angles and scrape.
"Old Qian, there are words on the wall of the furnace......"
After only two strokes, Tang Qinghua cried out in surprise.
"What?"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly crowded over to watch, only to see that there were indeed some words on the outer wall of the furnace, and the words were not written, or inscribed on the furnace. Instead, it's embedded in it. Moreover, the color of these words is also very different from the yellowish and bright color of the stove, but the real golden light flashes and shines. It's like a star twinkling in the deep blue sky on a summer night, and it's beautiful!
"Wrong gold inscription!"
At first glance, Pi Qiushi couldn't help but marvel.
Here, it is necessary to explain what is wrong money. Gold is easy to understand, it is gold. As for the mistakes, it is not easy for the average person to understand. Typo, there are at least a dozen different interpretations. However, the combination of wrong gold is a kind of wire inlay process, which mainly refers to the use of gold and silver wire to inlay patterns or words on the surface of the utensils.
There are also two ways to express this process. One is the painting method, in which gold clay is applied to various patterns on the utensils, or applied to pre-cast grooves. Of course, this technique is called gilt by some today.
The other is the inlay method, also known as the gold decoration method. It is mainly forged into gold wire and gold sheets, and inlaid on the surface of metal objects. After polishing and polishing, the surface of the gold wire or gold sheet and the utensils is naturally smoothed and reached the point of tight fit.
Obviously, the wrong gold inscription of this large incense burner belongs to the mosaic method.
A small place, a few simple words, the font lines are thin and elegant, the intersection of horizontal and vertical strokes, often decorated with dots, like a little star, flashing a slight golden light, very exquisite.
"Quick, keep scraping and see what the inscription is about."
found the wrong gold text, everyone's enthusiasm was even higher, and they didn't need to be urged by the money, so they started with enthusiasm.
Although the large incense burner was one meter high, the speed of the four people could not slow down, and the layer of camouflage on the stove body was quickly scraped off. After that, everyone wiped the stove with towels again, so that the big incense burner could be regarded as revealing its original face.
The yellowish color of the furnace body is like the color of Tibetan scripture paper, and the warm luster is restrained, making the outer wall of the furnace look very delicate and smooth. All in all, this large stove is calm, elegant in color, and solemn in appearance, which makes people feel that this is not an ordinary vessel, but a rare and rare treasure.
"Treasure furnace, definitely treasure furnace."
Pi Qiu is full of praise, and even a little dizzy.
In fact, Wang Guan and the others were in a similar situation, turning to the stove to watch carefully, if it weren't for the slightly hot residual heat, they would definitely start stroking it. Immediately after, the attention of several people immediately focused on the wrong gold inscription.
In general, the origin of a thing can be answered in the inscription. However, when they looked at the inscription, they were all dumbfounded. The text they know, very standard regular script. Moreover, the gold mistake is exquisitely crafted, and the font is very clear and there is no ambiguity.
However, the subtlety of ancient Chinese lies in the fact that everyone should be able to read each text when they are taken apart. But after a combination, the meaning needs to be carefully studied.
"It's like an article that celebrates virtue."
Pi Qiushi is well-informed, but he can see some clues: "It seems to praise someone, what merit has been made, what reward has been received, and what official title has been awarded...... Oh, by the way, it seems to be what Shangzhu Guo, Rongguo Gong, Gongjing! ”
"Name, the key is the name ......," Yu Feibai reminded, also searching for the inscription.
"Here." Pi Qiushi walked around two steps, found the beginning of the inscription, and read it while looking: "Yao's Sidao, given the name Guangxiao, was a monk at an early age, and the Dharma name is Daoyan......"
"Yao Guangxiao!"
For a moment, Pi Qiu was dumbfounded. At the same time, Tang Qinghua also recited softly to the other end, which is the end of the inscription: "The five years of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty give the Qingshou Temple ......"
Xuande ...... Xuande furnace? In an instant, Yu Feibai touched his forehead and felt a little dizzy: "Wait, let me slow down, the amount of information is so large......"
Not only Yu Fei was dizzy, but Wang Guan was also very surprised. Xuande furnace he must know that it is known as a peerless treasure furnace in the past 600 years, and it is a dream thing for collectors of all generations. The production of the Xuande furnace is said to have been refined with refined copper twelve times, and precious metals such as gold and silver were added, and it took several years before it was successfully cast.
However, due to the change of dynasties, the times have changed. In the past few hundred years, the Xuande furnace has experienced many catastrophes, making the real furnace that has been handed down to this day has been rare, so that the world only knows its name but not its shape, which is precious.
The preciousness of the Xuande furnace is also known to Wang Guan. The problem is that as far as he knows, the largest model of the Xuande furnace should not be so big. Three feet high, which is one meter in modern times. Moreover, the belly of the furnace was round and wide, and he couldn't hold it at all.
Such a large thing, will it be a delicate and elegant Xuande furnace?
"Hey, we're getting a little bit of a bull's head."
Suddenly, Yu Feibai patted his head, as if he had reacted, and said with a smile: "The furnace made during the Xuande period is not necessarily the Xuande furnace. Well, I mean, not necessarily the kind of Xuande furnace that we think is. Besides, there are many imitations of Xuande furnace, and there are imitations in every period of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Don't look at the model of the stove falling into Xuande, it is actually very normal to imitate it. ”
"Brother Feibai, this thing can't be an imitation."
At this time, Pi Qiushi shook his head and said: "As far as I know, there are three types of Xuande furnaces: large, medium and small. Furnaces with a diameter of eight to twelve centimeters are the most common and belong to the trumpet; Furnaces with a diameter of about 15 centimeters are medium; Whereas furnaces with a diameter greater than twenty centimeters are large. However, more than 20 centimeters, the largest is nothing more than about 30 centimeters, it is impossible to be so tall. ”
"The ancients were not stupid, and it was impossible to imitate something that everyone did not recognize." Pi Qiushi sighed lightly: "Besides, the wrong gold inscription on the furnace has made it very clear that this big furnace is something given to Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister of the silk cloth. Presumably, later generations should not be fraudulent in this regard, and there is no need to go to great lengths to make this fake. ”
"Yao Guangxiao!"
Wang Guan groaned: "Is it the Daoyan monk who helped Ming Chengzu Zhu Di seize his nephew Emperor Jianwen, who is as famous as Liu Bowen and is known as one of the two great strategists in the early Ming Dynasty?" ”
"That's right, it's him." Pi Qiuis nodded, and even guessed, he also understood the meaning of some inscriptions, and slowly explained: "The content of the text on the furnace is to describe Yao Wenxiao's exploits, and give a large furnace for the monks of Qingshou Temple to worship." ”
"That...... I interjected to ask. ”
At the right time, Tang Qinghua smiled embarrassedly, and said a little confused: "Since Yao Guangxiao is the adviser of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, why did Emperor Xuande give him the furnace?" Could it be that Yao Guangxiao lived a very long life and lived until the Xuande period? ”
"Ignorance!"
Yu Feibai glanced at it and said with disdain: "Don't you know, there was such a thing as posthumous sealing in ancient times?" ”
