You must know that since the Xuande period, after the birth of the Xuande furnace, until now, all kinds of furnaces marked with Xuande style have emerged in an endless stream, filling the entire market. It can be said that Xuande furnace is already a brand and has become a form of copper incense burner. As long as there is a Xuande furnace, it can be called Xuande furnace.
However, the Xuande furnace in the real sense is refined twelve times with tribute copper, referring to the five famous kiln porcelain styles of the Song Dynasty in the imperial palace, as well as historical books such as "Archaeological Map" and "Bogu Catalogue", carefully designed and shaped, and added precious metal materials such as gold and silver, cast by good craftsmen, and successfully developed after great efforts.
Such a furnace, after hundreds of years of precipitation and fermentation, is no longer a simple copper furnace, has derived a kind of Xuande furnace culture, it is not an exaggeration to call it a rare treasure, and it deserves its name.
However, as with many treasures, imitations came into being in the absence of the real thing. If it is an imitation made by Kangxi Qianlong, it is also a rare treasure. Or, the Xuande furnace made by the folk master craftsman is also a highly collectible thing. What I am most afraid of is the fake furnace made by those unscrupulous profiteers, cutting corners and shoddy......
Of course, the big furnace in front of me, even if it is not a Xuande furnace in the real sense, I am afraid it is not ordinary. The warm color of Tibetan scripture paper, the simple and full of heavy shape. Coupled with the fact that there was no trace of damage in the fire, you can tell that the quality of this furnace is outstanding.
At this time, the furnace body also slowly cooled, Wang Guan looked carefully, and found that the cooled furnace body no longer had a brilliant and dazzling luster, but the color was slowly restrained. In addition, although there is still a little residual temperature on the stove, it can be touched directly.
"It's delicate, about the same as a baby's skin." Meanwhile. Yu Feibai had already touched it, and said in amazement: "It's very smooth, and there is no feeling of astringency." ”
"The main thing is this quaint texture." Pi Qiushi also sighed: "I once saw a Xuande furnace in the Yongzheng period, the lines of the furnace are soft and very exquisite. But the feeling of simplicity, compared to this big furnace, is much worse. ”
"The pulp is warm and moist, and the treasure is inside!"
Wang Guan also tasted it and walked around the stove. Suddenly surprised: "Have you noticed, the whole furnace is very smooth." It seems to be a one-time molding, and there are no traces of welding. ”
"Something inevitable."
Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "In ancient times, whether it was a big ding or a big furnace, except for the feet and ears that may have been welded, the whole body must have been done in one go." In addition, the shape of the furnace body should be uniform and flat, and the joints of each part should not be obvious, and they should be integrated. The lines of the square and round angles should be smooth and durable...... Only those utensils that meet these standards are qualified to be called high-quality products. ”
"Looks like this furnace has done it all."
Yu Feibai was pleasantly surprised: "In this way, this big furnace is really the Xuande furnace." ”
Wang Guan was also very happy, but out of prudence, he opened his mouth to remind: "Feibai, don't be too anxious to make a conclusion. I didn't see it in the furnace. ”
"That's right, the inside of the furnace." Yu Feibai reacted and nodded: "I heard that the inner cavity of the furnace is also very particular......
While speaking, Yu Feibai reached out to lift the lid of the furnace. only to find that the lid could not be lifted. After looking closely, I realized that the lid had a clever clasp that had to be removed before the lid could be lifted.
"The design is quite ingenious, no wonder the lid has not been lost for hundreds of years." Yu Feibai was a little surprised, and after opening the buckle, he lifted the lid of the stove: "It's a heavy ......."
At this time, everyone approached and looked, only to see that the furnace was pitch black, and there were many dirt and dead branches and leaves.
"Oh, I just burned the outside, but I forgot to light a fire inside." Yu Feibai patted his forehead, and said a little puzzled: "Then again, what is that layer of camouflage, it is very hard, no different from real iron embroidery." ”
In an instant, everyone looked at Qian Lao and felt that he should be able to give an answer.
"That's a trick."
Qian Lao also lived up to expectations, and explained with a smile: "First apply a layer of fire paint wax, then melt the iron into juice, add some lead, pour it inside and outside the furnace while it is hot, and wait until the iron liquid cools, it will solidify and stick firmly to it." After that, it is left for a while, and the furnace naturally forms a hard shell that resembles rust spots. ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they admired Qian Lao's insightfulness more and more. To be honest, if it weren't for Qian Lao's suggestion, Wang Guan would really have agreed to Yu Feibai's suggestion to use something like a cone saw to peel off the surface of the disguise when he was helpless. In doing so, it is easy to wear and tear the furnace body.
Similar to this rare treasure, a slight flaw is already heart-wrenching, not to mention the damage caused by one's own hands, it is estimated that in addition to regretting it, even the heart of self-harm is gone.
"Ding......
At this moment, Qian Lao suddenly knocked lightly next to the lips of the furnace, only to hear a crisp and long, subtle and condensed, lingering and whirling sound, endless, and it took a long time to dissipate.
"Old Qian, I finally understand what is going on with the crisp and melodious voice you just said." Yu Feibai sighed: "Sure enough, the aftermath is lingering, melodious." ”
"Hindsight." Tang Qinghua pouted and said: "Qian always heard a tactful and crisp sound in a low voice, you heard a melodious voice that everyone can hear, and it is far worse in comparison." ”
"Hehe, it's far away, I didn't plan to compare it with Qian Lao." Yu Feibai grinned and said, "It's better than you anyway." ”
Tang Qinghua was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, hurry up and boil the iron sheet in the furnace." Wang Guan beckoned and moved a few pieces of firewood to stack them in the furnace. Others also came to help, and after putting aside a dozen pieces of firewood, Yu Feibai immediately ordered a newspaper and stuffed it into the firewood gap.
After a while, the wood burned, and smoke floated out.
"Put the lid on the stove ......"
In Yu Feibai's shout, Wang Guan lifted the lid of the furnace and closed it to the mouth of the furnace in an instant.
At the right time, Wang Guan patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: "There was camouflage on the surface of the furnace just now, and I didn't see it clearly, but now everyone should pay attention to it and see if the stove has been burning on the fire for a long time, and whether it exudes brilliant and changeable colors." ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded and watched with interest.
At this time, the fire in the furnace is very strong, thanks to the numerous hollowed-out holes on the lid. Otherwise, when the fire is lit in the furnace, the lid is closed to create a sealed space, and when the air runs out, the flame is extinguished. Unlike now, the firewood burned sufficiently, and a blue-red flame could be seen floating out of the holes of the stove lid.
In addition, the flames were accompanied by puffs of smoke. However, it is different from the situation just now, when the wood was burned outside the furnace, and the smoke rose into the sky, similar to a beacon fire. The smoke in the furnace can only slowly emerge from the holes in the lid due to the blocking of the lid. The speed is a little slow, wisps, condensed in mid-air.
Smoke, that's it, although it's light, but when there is no wind, it's not so easy to dissipate, so everyone didn't pay much attention to it. However, after a while, Tang Qinghua inadvertently raised his head and suddenly shouted: "No, this smoke ...... Look at how this smoke looks like ......"
Like something, for a while, Tang Qinghua was a little short of words. However, under his reminder, everyone also took the opportunity to look at the smoke in the air, and found that, as Tang Qinghua said, the smoke that should have drifted away was actually a little condensed, and gradually formed a similar ...... shape.
As for what shape it is, everyone can't say clearly, the main reason is that the smoke doesn't seem to be condensed enough, and only forms a rough outline in the air, and it has not yet been completely formed.
Just as everyone was observing and studying in amazement, all of a sudden, a strong wind blew through the house, blowing up the smoke that had condensed in the air and sending it directly into the sky. After the layers of decomposition, the smoke naturally fades away.
"No, it's ...... critical moment"
Seeing this, Yu Feibai was a little crazy, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn the wind." ”
"Hehe, it should be a coincidence." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "The smoke is like this, it gathers and disperses, and the shape is strange. ”
The others felt that it made sense and nodded in relief. But there was a thoughtful look in Qian Lao's eyes, but he didn't rush to express his opinion, but reminded: "It's almost time, let's put out the fire." ”
"Oh!"
Several people hurriedly stepped forward, Wang Guan took a long towel with wet water and wrapped it in his hand a few times, and then lifted the hot stove lid with a steady pull. Next to him, Yu Feibai and Tang Qinghua cooperated tacitly, and each took a big clip and took out the firewood that was still burning. Then a few people worked together to gently scrape off the rust of the husk in the furnace wall with wooden strips.
After more than ten minutes of busy work, cleaning up the rust and wiping it with a clean towel a few times, the hearth immediately looked new.
At this time, several people stood by and watched, only to see that the shape of the whole furnace was calm and atmospheric, both inside and outside, and the whole body exuded bursts of brilliant color. Especially those wrong gold inscriptions, after the furnace body is heated, it blooms with a little bit of gold star. No matter which angle you look at, this thing is shining, dazzling, and beautiful.
"Treasure Furnace, there is no doubt that this must be the first treasure furnace in the world." Yu Feibai was amazed, and then wanted to find Wang Guan to vent his envy and jealousy, but found that he was studying the stove lid.
Yu Feibai walked over and glanced at it, and said with some surprise: "Hey, there are still words in the cover." ”
"Well, the words are not wrong gold inscriptions, but they are directly engraved." Wang Guan nodded, and read softly: "The imperial incense burner, cast in Xuande for seven years, will eventually be completed...... The treasure of Buddhism! ”
"What do you mean?" Yu Feibai was stunned, scratched his head and said, "Could it be that the furnace and lid are not the original?" ”
