There are only two updates, so everyone should be more considerate. In addition, I would like to say shamelessly, please ask for some monthly tickets, please support it.
You should know that since the birth of Xuande Furnace, all kinds of furnaces marked with Xuande style have emerged one after another, filling the entire market. It can be said that Xuande Furnace has become a brand and has become a copper incense burner. As long as there is a Xuande Furnace model, it can be called Xuande Furnace.
However, the Xuande Furnace in the true sense was refined twelve times using tribute copper. It was carefully designed and designed according to the styles of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty hidden in the imperial palace, as well as historical books such as "Archaeological Pictures" and "Bogu Catalogues", and added precious metal materials such as gold and silver. It was cast by skilled craftsmen. After great efforts, it was successfully developed.
After hundreds of years of precipitation and fermentation, such a furnace is no longer a simple copper furnace. It has derived a Xuande furnace culture. It is not an exaggeration to call it a rare treasure, and it deserves its reputation.
However, like many treasures, imitations come into being without genuine ones. If they were imitations made by Emperor Qianlong of Kangxi, it would be fine, but they would be rare treasures. Or, the Xuande furnace made by the folk master skilled craftsman is also something of great collection value. What I fear most are those fake furnaces made by unscrupulous profiteers, cutting corners and inferior products are used as good ones...
Of course, even if the large furnace in front of me is not the Xuande furnace in the true sense, it is probably not an ordinary product. The warm color like the Sutra Library, the simple and heavy shape. In addition, there is no trace of damage in the fire, it can make people know that the quality of this large furnace is outstanding.
At this time, the furnace body slowly cooled down. Wang Guan looked carefully and found that the cooled furnace body had no brilliant luster, but the color gradually became restrained. In addition, although there was still a little residual heat on the furnace, you could just touch it with your hands.
"It's very delicate, almost the same as the baby's skin." At the same time, Yu Feibai had already touched it and said in amazement: "It's very smooth, without the feeling of astringent hands."
"It's mainly because of this simple texture." Pi Qiushi also sighed: "I once saw a Xuande furnace from the Yongzheng period. The lines of the furnace were soft and very delicate. But the simplicity of the feeling is much worse than this large furnace."
"The patina is warm and rich, and the treasure is contained!"
Wang Guan also tasted it and walked around the stove. Suddenly, he said in surprise: "Have you noticed that the entire furnace body is very smooth. It seems to be formed in one go, without any signs of welding."
"It's inevitable."
Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "In ancient times, whether it was a large tripod or a large furnace, except for the feet and ears that might have been welded, the whole body must be completed in one go. In addition, the shape of the furnace body must be uniform and flat, and the joint marks of each part are not visible, and they are integrated. The lines of square and circular angles must be smooth and durable... Only by achieving these standard objects can they be qualified to be called high-quality products."
"It seems that this big furnace has done it."
Yu Feibai said in surprise: "In this way, this big furnace is actually Xuande furnace."
Wang Guan was also very happy, but out of caution, he reminded him: "Feibai, don't be too anxious to make a conclusion. There is also no one in the furnace."
"By the way, the inner wall of the furnace cavity." 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 furnace cover, but found that the cover could not be lifted. After careful examination, he found that the cover had a clever buckle, which had to be opened before the cover could be lifted.
"The design is quite clever, no wonder the lid has not been lost for hundreds of years." Yu Feibai was a little surprised. After pushing the ring apart, he lifted the furnace lid: "It's quite heavy..."
At this time, everyone approached and looked at it, and saw that the furnace was pitch black and there were many mud and dead branches and leaves.
"Oh, I just wanted to burn the outside, but I forgot to light the fire inside." Yu Feibai patted his forehead and said in confusion: "After that, what is the disguised layer? It's very hard and no difference from real iron embroidery."
In an instant, everyone looked at Mr. Qian and felt that he should be able to give the answer.
"That's a trick."
Mr. Qian did not disappoint everyone's expectations and explained with a smile: "First apply a layer of hot lacquer wax, then melt the iron burner into juice, and add some lead material, pour it inside and outside the furnace while it is hot. When the iron juice cools down, it will solidify and stick firmly to it. After that, let it sit for a while, and the furnace body will naturally form a hard shell similar to rust spots."
Everyone suddenly realized and admired Mr. Qian's knowledgeable knowledge. To be honest, if it weren't for Mr. Qian's suggestions, Wang Guan would have really agreed to Yu Feibai's suggestion to peel off the surface with something like a cone saw. If he did this, it would be easy to wear the furnace body.
A rare treasure like this is a bit flawed, not to mention that it is caused by damage by yourself. I guess I regret it, and even have a self-harmful heart.
"bite……"
At this moment, Mr. Qian suddenly tapped him gently next to the lip of the furnace, and only heard the crisp and long, subtle and condensed, lingering and circling sounds, which continued and lasted for a long time.
"Old Qian, I finally understand what the crisp and melodious sound you just said is." Yu Feibai sighed: "It's true that the lingering sound is so pleasant."
"After the horse's back." Tang Qinghua curled his lips and said, "Qian always heard the gentle and crisp sound in his low voice. You heard the melodious sound that everyone could hear, which was far behind."
"Hehe, it's far away. I didn't plan to compete with Mr. Qian." Yu Feibai laughed and said, "Anyway, it's better than you."
Tang Qinghua suddenly had nothing to say.
"Okay, don't quarrel, boil the iron sheet in the furnace quickly." Wang Guan waved and moved a few pieces of firewood into the furnace. Others also came to help. After putting more than a dozen pieces of firewood, Yu Feibai immediately ordered a newspaper and stuffed it into the firewood space.
After a while, the firewood started to burn and thick smoke floated out.
"Cover the stove..."
Amid Yu Feibai's cry, Wang Guan lifted the furnace cover and closed it to the furnace mouth in an instant.
At the right time, Wang Guan patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: "There was disguise on the surface of the furnace just now, but I didn't see clearly. Now everyone should pay attention to it and see if the furnace has been burning on the fire for a long time and emits a brilliant and changeable color."
When everyone heard this, they nodded and stared at them with interest.
At this time, the fire in the furnace is very strong, thanks to the many hollow holes on the furnace cover. Otherwise, when the fire is burned in the furnace, the cover is closed to form a sealed space. When the air is exhausted, the flames will be extinguished. Unlike now, the firewood is burning fully, and the blue-red flames can be seen floating out of the holes in the furnace cover.
In addition, the flames are still rising. However, unlike the situation where firewood was burning outside the furnace and the smoke rose up into the sky, which was similar to the beacon fire. The thick smoke in the furnace, due to the blockage of the furnace cover, can only slowly emerge in the holes in the cover. The speed is a bit slow, and the wisps condense in the air.
As for the smoke, it is like this. Although it is light, it does not dissipate so easily without wind, so everyone didn't care much. However, after a moment, Tang Qinghua looked up inadvertently and suddenly screamed: "No, this smoke... Look, why does this smoke look like..."
It was like something, for a moment, Tang Qinghua was a little exhausted. However, under his reminder, everyone also looked at the smoke in the air and found that as Tang Qinghua said, the thick smoke that should have been floating was somewhat condensed and gradually formed a shape similar to...
As for what shape it is, everyone can't explain it clearly. The main reason is that the smoke does not seem to condense enough, and only forms a rough outline in the air and has not been completely formed.
Just as everyone was surprised to observe and study, suddenly, a strong wind blew across the house, scraping up the smoke condensed in the air and directly sending it to the sky. After layers of decomposition, the thick smoke naturally faded and disappeared.
"No, it's the critical moment..."
Seeing this, Yu Feibai was a little crazy and couldn't help but shout and scold: "Damn Feng."
"Haha, it should be a coincidence." Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "This is the smoke, which is gathering and dispersing, and has a variety of shapes."
Others felt it made sense, so they nodded relievedly. However, a thoughtful look flashed through Qian's eyes, but he did not rush to express his opinion, but reminded him: "It's almost time, let's put out the fire."
"oh!"
Several people hurried forward, Wang Guan took a long wet towel and wrapped it in his hands for a few times, then pulled it steadily, and lifted the hot stove cover. Next to him, Yu Feibai and Tang Qinghua cooperated tacitly, each took a big clip and clamped out the burning firewood. Then several people started to do it together and gently scraped off the rust in the shell of the furnace wall with wooden strips.
After working hard for more than ten minutes, I cleaned up the rust, and wiped it with a clean towel several times, and the furnace immediately turned fresh.
At this time, a few people stood by and watched, and saw that the entire furnace was calm and atmospheric, and no matter inside or outside, it emitted a burst of brilliant colors. Especially those inscriptions incorrectly, after the furnace body was heated, they burst out with golden light. No matter which angle you are looking at, this thing is full of precious light, dazzling and extremely beautiful.
"The treasure furnace, there is no doubt that this is definitely the number one treasure furnace in the world." Yu Feibai was amazed, and then he wanted to ask Wang Guan to vent his envy and jealousy, but found that he was studying the furnace cover.
Yu Feibai walked over and glanced at him, and said in surprise: "Hey, there are words inside the cover."
"Well, the word is not a wrong gold inscription, but is engraved directly." Wang Guan nodded and said softly: "The imperial incense burner was cast in the seventh year of Xuande, and finally became... a treasure of Buddhism!"
"What does it mean?" Yu Feibai was stunned and scratched his head and said, "Can the furnace and the lid not belong to the original?"
