Jin Zhongguo gave a thumbs up at Song Yun, who had been silent next to him.
"Hahaha!"
"But luck is better!"
Song Yun smiled.
Tang Miaomiao was listening and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Luck is just better?
This has to be considered against the sky, okay?
Every few days I pick up the leaks, ranging from several million to tens of millions.
Simply let others live.
Jin Zhongguo didn't know much news, and the reaction was not particularly big.
"Grandpa Jin, you are this copper furnace, what's so good about it?"
"Also, what's the matter with the Xuande furnace you just mentioned?"
"Is this something amazing?"
Gong Liman knew that since Jin Zhongguo said that this copper furnace was very good, it was definitely a good thing. Song Yun and Tang Miaomiao did not fool themselves just now.
"of course!"
"This is too good to be better."
"In the history of China, there are many antiques. Because of the extremely high-quality materials and exquisite workmanship, they have become representative works of a certain period. This is the case for the copper furnace in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty."
"Xuande furnace is a kind of copper incense burner, the purpose is to burn incense to remember gods and Buddhas in the palace."
"Daming Xuande three years, the Xuande furnace began to cast, because this time the Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji personally participated in the whole process, including design, copper smelting, etc., all of which are constantly improving, and the high quality is naturally conceivable."
"This is the first time in China's history to use brass to cast copperware. This is completely different from bronze. It uses the extremely rare'wind milled copper' and adds some precious metals. In the case of copperware, the materials are generally sufficient for four refinements and the quality is very good, but the Xuande furnace has twelve refinements. In this way, the texture of the materials can be imagined, and it is as delicate as a baby's skin."
"The most powerful part of the Xuande furnace is the copper color, which is restrained but exudes a strange light. It is very magical. According to records, there are more than forty kinds. The purple with blue and black and the egg skin color are called egg color. If it is like ancient jade Those with earthy colors are called earthy ancient colors. In addition, there are amber and crab shell green."
"'The beauty of the Xuanluo, in the color of the treasure, the connotation of pearl, the appearance of Tantan Mumu', is used to describe the Xuande furnace."
...
Jin Zhongguo's exuberance is like a treasure.
"so smart?"
"How many Xuande furnaces are there now?"
While talking, Gong Liman glanced at the stove Jin Zhongguo was holding tightly in her hand. Her eyes turned quickly, but because she was wearing sunglasses, no one noticed.
"not much!"
"Or it's not true at all!"
Jin Zhongguo shook his head.
"what?"
"This is how the same thing?"
Gong Liman doesn't understand. Less can be justified. After all, there are always fewer good things, and the more can only be Chinese cabbage, but how can it be said that there is no truth?
"The Xuande furnace approved by collectors refers to the batch cast for the first time in the third year of Xuande (1428). The quantity is about 3000 pieces, not more than 5000 pieces. The six-character regular script of the'Da Ming Xuande Year System' Outer bottom of the furnace."
"The vast majority of these bronze furnaces are placed in various places in the palace, and only a small part is given to the emperor's relatives, close ministers, and temples with strong incense. The folks do not exist."
"Hundreds of years of ups and downs, due to various reasons, these copper furnaces have basically disappeared, and the Xuande furnaces in many museums are basically not recognized."
Jin Zhongguo sighed deeply. As a lover of antiques, this kind of thing is undoubtedly the most painful.
"There is such a thing? It's a shame, right?"
Although Gong Liman usually doesn't play antiques, he feels the same when he hears such words.
"The reason why the Xuande furnace is very likely not true is that Mr. Jin said one reason, and another reason is that there are so many fakes or imitations."
"Not long after the Xuande furnace came out, many people wanted to get it. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, dignitaries had already begun to purchase the Xuande furnace with a lot of money. In the late period, the price was higher. This directly led many antique merchants to imitate the Xuande furnace."
"Among these counterfeiters, the most famous is Wu Bangzuo, one of Xuande furnace supervisors."
"After the first batch of incense burners mentioned by Mr. Jin just now was completed, Emperor Xuande did not make any more. Wu Bangzuo summoned the original craftsmen and started to imitate them according to the drawings and procedures of Xuande furnaces. Although these copper furnaces are imitated, the craftsmanship is very exquisite. The materials used are basically the same as the real Xuande furnace, reaching the level of being fake."
"This kind of imitation did not stop until the Qianlong reign. In later generations, people simply called those high-quality furnaces "Xuanxuande furnace."
"It is the only time in the history of China that the fake is regarded as real. Even some copper furnaces made with Xuande furnace technology have become precious historical relics."
Tang Miaomiao was holding a teacup, talking about Xuande furnace slowly.
"In this way, isn't the current situation very complicated? The real world no longer exists. Even if it does, when people appraise it, they don't know if it is true?"
Gong Liman's wide-eyed eyes are a little complicated for a layman like her.
"This thing is really a bit complicated."
"There are still methods for identification. For example, look at whether the instrument is dignified and simple. Secondly, the patina. Xuande furnaces are generally handed down and played with them. There are few truly unearthed. Patina is very important for identification. One of the standards of the present, the other is to look at the color of the copper furnace, because the craftsmanship and the addition of different components of gold and silver show different brilliance."
"Of course, as I said earlier, there is no certain furnace that can be recognized as the true furnace of Xuande three years, so there is no way to make it clear now."
Tang Miaomiao said that he shook his head. Xuande furnace is a little complicated even for professionals like himself, not to mention Gong Liman who knows antique Xiaobai at first glance.
