Chapter 113: Incense Dao Artifact?

The family of three happily ate, the mother naturally needless to say, the father was also very pleased, and obviously felt that Wen Yiming was a lot more mature and stable, which made him very relieved.

"Son, this red wine seems to be very expensive, right?"

Wen Yiming looked at his mother's skeptical gaze and explained casually: "It's not too expensive, it's a good wine, mainly because my friend likes to drink it, so I gave me a few bottles." It's good for you to drink some red wine, and next time I'll bring a box back. ”

"No, no, we can't drink it, keep it for you!" The mother hurriedly excused herself: "By the way, are the incense masters you are talking about the same as those tea masters on TV?

"Well, almost, it's all about serving guests. Wen Yiming said with a smile: "Mom, what time is it now, the nurses are all men, why can't I be an incense master?"

The mother nodded and advised: "Just work seriously, you remember that it doesn't matter if you have more money or less money, just be safe!"

"Old woman, it's so easy for my son to come back, don't say a few words!" The father raised his wine glass and congratulated: "It's good to be self-reliant in the future, come, congratulations!"

Wen Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could pass the pass of his parents, he quickly stood up and promised: "Rest assured, Mom, Dad, it won't be long before I can take you to Zhongzhou for the elderly, it's not a thing!"

"Hahaha, it's good to have ambition!"

The family was happy and had a good meal, and my father was very happy, and it was rare to drink a few more glasses and fall asleep. Wen Yiming helped his mother clean up, and also rested for a while, and asked a few friends to sit down in the afternoon, and the day passed quickly.

I got up early the next day, went out to practice with my mother in the morning, she went to square dance, and there happened to be a morning market by the river, so I had nothing to do.

This is the hometown of oracle bones, the origin of Yin Shang culture, although the city is not big, but the cultural heritage is profound. Wen Yiming walked by the river, surrounded by a morning market, selling everything. It's very lively today, and there are a lot of people setting up stalls, so you can walk around casually.

"Uncle, when did you get this incense burner?"

Wen Yiming walked to a stall, squatted down, picked up a black copper incense burner, and asked casually, "Is it copper?"

"I don't know, I was picking up scrap in the countryside a few days ago, and I heard that it's a bit old. ”

The old man was very realistic, pointed to the other messy things on the stall, there were copper coins, scales, and tools, and said with a smile: "These are all collected, you can take them if you like, cheap!"

"Okay, I'll choose. Wen Yiming grabbed the incense burner with his left hand, picked up a few rusty copper coins with his right hand, threw them into the incense burner and said, "That's all, how much?"

The old man didn't even look at it and said, "Take two hundred!"

Wen Yiming didn't think about it, so he quickly took out two hundred, paid the money and left. After leaving the morning market, he threw away the copper coin, picked up the copper stove and put it to his nose, and said in confusion: "What the hell is going on?"

"There's a hint of a peculiar aroma, but I don't know what it is?

Wen Yiming rubbed the dirty incense burner with his hand, the surface was full of stains, he really couldn't tell what kind of treasure this was? But the ability failed for the first time, which made him very curious.

I found my mother and went home, filled the basin with hot water, and began to clean the incense burner. It took more than an hour to get it done, and Wen Yiming held the antique copper stove and said incredulously: "This is...... Xuande furnace?"

Hurriedly checked the information on the Internet, compared it carefully, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, it's really the Xuande furnace, the artifact of the incense master!"

Xuande furnace, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji participated in the design and supervision of the copper incense burner in Xuande for three years, referred to as Xuanlu. It is the first bronze ware in Chinese history to use wind-milled copper. In order to make a high-quality copper furnace, under the personal supervision of Zhu Zhanji, the whole production process was made.

The most wonderful thing about Xuande furnace is the color, its color melts inside, and it shines from the gloom. There are more than 40 kinds of colors recorded in historical records, which are loved by the world, and there are many names for their colors.

For example, the purple with blue and black like eggplant skin is called eggplant skin color, the black and yellow like Tibetan scripture paper is called Tibetan scripture color, the black and white with red and light yellow is called brown, and the white and yellow with red and red color like Tang pear is called Tang pear color.

Xiang Yuanbian, a great connoisseur, collector and painter during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, said: "The wonder of the Xuan furnace is pearlescent in the treasure color, and it is surging on the outside. ”

This batch of red copper cast a total of 3,000 incense burners, never produced again, Emperor Xuande saw this batch of incense burners that he personally asked, each one is abnormal in atmosphere, full of treasure, very sense of achievement.

Most of it was displayed in various parts of the court, and a small part was rewarded and distributed to the imperial relatives. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the copper incense burner cast in three years of Xuande is rare.

Holding the Xuande furnace as a treasure, it has always been a fragrant material, and the first time I actually met the incense props, it was still the artifact Xuande furnace!

Wen Yiming with his hands**, as delicate and smooth as baby skin, although it is a copper furnace, it can be as warm as jade, without the slightest sense of coldness.

"Good guy, nine times out of ten it is the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, and the bottom is the word Xuande, but it shouldn't be the priceless treasure of Xuande for three years, right?"

Wen Yiming sniffed the inner wall vigorously, and the slightest trace of aroma remained, which should be used by the ancients for incense. But my eyesight is not enough, and I really can't tell if it is three years of Xuande. After all, the Xuande furnace is too famous, and there are imitations in all dynasties, but it must be a good thing!

It is said on the Internet that from Xuande in the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, antique dealers have never stopped imitating Xuande furnaces. Just after the Xuande furnace stopped manufacturing, some officials in charge of the casting of the department summoned the original casting furnace craftsmen to imitate the Xuande furnace according to the drawings and process procedures.

These carefully cast imitations can be comparable to the real one, and the authority of experts can not be distinguished, so far many Xuande furnaces collected in major museums in China, none of them can be recognized as the real Xuande furnace by many connoisseurs, and the identification of true and false Xuande furnaces has become one of the archaeological unsolved cases.

It doesn't matter if it is Xuande for three years, as long as it is a Xuande furnace, the information says that the wind-milled copper is actually a kind of yellow and clear copper-zinc alloy, and it is this characteristic that makes the Xuande Emperor Longxin happy.

But in the end, he still thought that the color was not expensive and brilliant enough, and added zinc, gold and silver to it when casting, which produced a gold-like bright and brilliant copper-zinc-gold-silver alloy, whether it was the batch of Xuande three years, the Ming Dynasty has been used to this day.

This incense burner in the hand is Xuande model, it is rumored that there are a total of five kinds of knowledge, from Xuande, Xuande, Xuande paragraph, Ming Xuande system, Ming Xuande system. Some people say that there is a six-character model of the Xuande year system of the Ming Dynasty, and so far the real Xuande has not known how many paragraphs there are in the three years.

"This is an ear-punching milk foot stove, with a dignified atmosphere!"

"The sunny window is on the bed, the dust is moaning, the bonlight is read at night, the burning is far away to dispel the sleeping demon, and the ancient moon can also be accompanied. ”

"The red sleeves are on the side, talking about private secrets, holding hands and hugging the stove, burning with enthusiasm in the heart, saying that the ancient help can also be. ”

"Sitting in the rain and closing the window, taking a nap for the first time, studying books on the case, sipping tea tastes light, a furnace is hot, fragrant and sultry, and it is more suitable to wake up guests with a drunken feast. ”

Wen Yiming closed the door, spread incense ash, took out the meditation incense, and began to make incense. The golden horn nose is the most smart, and he quickly came to the incense burner, waiting for the meal to be served.

The light smoke is misty, the fragrance is overflowing, Wen Yiming is holding the incense burner, warm as jade, feeling the residual warmth from the palm, and sighing: "No wonder the Xuande furnace has been regarded as an incense artifact since ancient times, and it is sought after by all the incense masters, and it really deserves its name!"
