Among the collection categories of bronze ware, copper furnaces have become a popular antique art piece due to their excellent casting, exquisite craftsmanship, simple shape, and their combination of practicality and artistry, and have become one of the popular collection categories in the art market. .
When talking about copper furnaces, we must mention the famous Xuande furnace. The birth of the Xuande Furnace in the Ming Dynasty opened a new chapter in the history of copper making in my country. Its precise and warm material and elegant and round shape can be said to be the best among all furnaces. It was even praised by the literati of the Ming and Qing Dynasties as the first of the literary works.
The reason why the Xuande furnace in the Ming Dynasty is so precious is not only because it spares no expense and is extremely well-made, but also has something to do with its longevity.
Over the course of hundreds of years, the real Xuande Furnace experienced several disasters.
The first time, during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the declining national power. At that time, Chongzhen had Nurhachi in front of him who wanted to seize his kingdom, and Li Zicheng in the back to attack him. The military expenditure was seriously insufficient, so he ordered the bronzes in the palace to be used to mint coins to meet his urgent needs. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng captured the capital, so he melted various bronze utensils in the palace into tens of thousands of copper cakes and transported them to Xijing.
The second time, when Xianfeng was emperor in the Qing Dynasty, he was attacked by the Eight-Power Allied Forces outside and the Taiping Rebellion inside. There was also a serious shortage of military pay. In order to raise military pay, he did not hesitate to sell various bronzes preserved in the palace and inner court (including the old collections of the royal family). Bronze furnaces, incense burners, bronze turtles and cranes, etc.) were destroyed and used to make money. The Xuande furnace hidden in the palace has basically disappeared after these disasters.
As for the Xuande furnaces collected by the people, because of the war, how could they collect the Xuande furnaces when their stomachs were not full? Maybe someone also minted it into money.
Precisely because of this series of reasons, the real Xuande furnaces that have been handed down to the present can be described as being as few as morning stars, and each one is the target of competition among big collectors.
Therefore, everyone present who knew something about Xuande Lu reacted at this moment, especially Yuan Lin and Lin Youxin, who opened their mouths in disbelief.
Originally, both of them thought that the Xuande furnace was just an imitation from the Qing Dynasty. The reason was simple, because the Xuande furnace looked as new as before, and it didn't look like it had been passed down for hundreds of years. Now that I heard that it is a real Xuande furnace, you can imagine my surprise.
So, when Jiang Weiwen finished speaking, everyone stood up suddenly, stepped forward quickly, and gathered around Mr. Su. His eyes were wide open, and he wanted to fly out and stick to the copper stove to take a closer look. Look.
Hou Lao said quickly: "Lao Su, can you let me do something?"
"No problem." Mr. Su carefully placed the copper stove on the table, looking a little reluctant to leave it.
Hou Lao took a deep breath, tried his best to control his slightly trembling hands, and then picked up the copper stove.
"One of the three thousand Xuande furnaces built under the supervision of Emperor Xuande?"
Hou Lao murmured to himself, there was still a little disbelief in his words, but immediately, his eyes lit up, and his whole person was like a madman, and his emotions became more and more excited.
¡°Old man, control yourself, you have a heart disease, don¡¯t get too excited!¡± Jiang Weiwen quickly advised.
Hou Lao took a few deep breaths, controlled his emotions, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, I know my body well. Besides, being able to appreciate this real Xuande Furnace is worth dying for."
"Don't say that, otherwise I will be guilty of a big crime." Meng Zitao smiled and cupped his hands.
"Don't worry, I won't settle a score with you."
Everyone laughed one after another.
Mr. Hou's words further proved that this Xuande furnace is a genuine product that has been around since the beginning of time. It is undoubtedly a national treasure. Therefore, the atmosphere in the store became more enthusiastic. The remaining people came forward one after another and thought about it. Want to see the true appearance of this national treasure.
Seeing a group of well-known experts and scholars in the Shanghai antique circle, you and I squeezed you forward to appreciate it. Lu Zhengyuan, who had been almost forgotten, stood aside with a very ugly expression on his face, especially when he heard everyone talking about it. When it was confirmed that it was a real Xuande furnace, I felt as if I had eaten a fly, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
"Impossible! It must be impossible!"
His eyes were slightly absent-minded. His master had been looking for a Xuande furnace for a long time, but he hadn't even found half of it. How could Meng Zitao, a young man like him, find one so easily? Could it be that this kid is the illegitimate son of Lucky Star?
¡°It definitely can¡¯t be the real Xuande furnace, there must be something wrong somewhere!¡±
Thinking of this, Lu Zhengyuan stepped forward and asked for appreciation with a shy face. Although there was no confrontation between the two parties, under the current circumstances, it was impossible for Meng Zitao to say that he would not be allowed to see it.
LuNot long after Zhengyuan looked at it, he raised a question: "Logically speaking, after hundreds of years of being circulated and played with, this Xuande furnace will always have some wear and tear. Why can the surface of the furnace be felt to be delicate and smooth both visually and tactilely?" "
This point raised by Lu Zhengyuan is what Yuan Lin and Lin Youxin are confused about, but since there are so many experts here, there must be an explanation.
Jiang Weiwen took a deep look at Lu Zhengyuan and smiled slightly at Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, you are the owner. It's up to you to explain this."
Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, and then said: "I guess Teacher Lu has not read many works on Xuande furnace, and he doesn't know much about the skin color of Xuande furnace. Mao Xiang, a scholar of Xuande furnace in the late Ming Dynasty, said: 'The best thing about Xuande furnace is its color. . The false color dazzles on the outside, but the true color blends on the inside, emitting strange light from the darkness, just like the soft and delicate skin of a beautiful woman.' In this set of praises for Xuanlu, Maoxiang compared the skin color of Xuandelu to that of a woman skin."
"As for why it is still as new as ever after so many years, it has a lot to do with the artificial leather color process used by Xuande furnace. With the protection of this layer of craftsmanship, the real Xuande furnace has been baptized for hundreds of years. It can still perform like this. But this does not mean that with the protection of artificial leather color, the invasion of time has not left any traces. "
"If you can look carefully and observe with a 100x magnifying glass, you will find that this furnace is also full of scars. There are circular pits on the furnace surface like those after the moon was hit, and there are also egg-shaped pits that are not found on the moon. , as well as V-shaped marks, collision marks, etc. left on the furnace body after being struck by sharp-angled objects. These marks and defects on the furnace body are not easily visible to the naked eye because they are protected by artificial leather color. .¡±
"Furthermore, this layer of artificial skin is not simple. If you continue to zoom in and look at it, the skin on the traces has not cracked, let alone peeling. This shows that the artificial skin on the furnace body has a certain degree of toughness and is very thin. , the skin color thickness may be only a few microns thick, which shows the power of this craft, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ingenious."
Speaking of this, Meng Zitao said to Lu Zhengyuan with a half-smile, "Teacher Lu, I have a magnifying glass here, would you like to lend it to you?"
Since Lu Zhengyuan was embarrassed and a little embarrassed at the same time, but he didn't dare to burst out, he could only say that he had a magnifying glass, took it out and pretended to observe, like an ostrich with its head buried in the soil.
Everyone secretly shook their heads. In fact, most of the people present had some understanding of the grudges between Master Lu Zhengyuan and Master Meng Zitao. Even if Lu Zhengyuan raised questions, they thought it was normal. But even if you, Hu Zhengyuan, want to raise questions, can you be professional? One thing, at least wait until you look carefully before saying anything. As it is now, it just gives people an impression of ignorance.
Because of this incident, everyone¡¯s impression of Lu Zhengyuan dropped a few points. However, due to human sentiment, everyone did not say much. Next, we discussed the Xuande Furnace.
After all, they are all experienced experts, especially Mr. Su, who has been immersed in the field of bronze for a long time and has published many research articles on Xuande furnaces. Among the experts here, he should have the most say. , some of the craftsmanship features of Xuande stoves that he described were something Meng Zitao had never heard of before.
I heard Mr. Su say: "The most wonderful thing about the Xuande furnace is the color. The color blends in and emits strange light from the darkness. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Xiang Yuanbian, a connoisseur, collector and painter, once said: 'The beauty of the Xuande furnace is , the inner color of the treasure is pearly, and the outer appearance is dull and dull.' According to historical records, Xuande furnace has more than 40 colors, such as eggplant skin color, Tibetan scripture color, Tang pear color, imitation Song Dynasty burning spots color, etc Don't you see, Zhao Ruzhen also said in the "Antique Guide": 'Xuanlu is only about its color and cannot be counterfeited'"
"In addition to its beautiful color, the Xuande furnace also has the characteristics of a round shape, concise lines, uprightness and elegance, and a calm demeanor, pushing the art of copper furnaces to the pinnacle of history. The Xuande copper furnace has a simple and solemn shape and exquisite workmanship. It is also the second bronze ware after the Shang and Zhou dynasties. After that, it reached a peak in my country's casting technology, and its styles were mostly taken from the "Xuanhe Bogu Tu" of the Song Dynasty and the porcelain from famous kilns such as Ruguange Junding."
"Simple shapes, highly abstract lines, and precise geometric relationships, these aesthetic elements that were used to perfection in Song porcelain, can also be seen in Xuande furnaces"
Mr. Su talked eloquently and elaborated on the inside and outside of Xuande Furnace. Together with other people's additions, Meng Zitao's knowledge of Xuande Furnace increased. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even though his memory was outstanding, I can memorize a lot of knowledge, but when it comes to experience, compared with these old-timers, it is really far behind.
During the discussion, Lu Zhengyuan put the copper stove back, filled with jealousy and hatred for Meng Zitao.
How much is a Xuande stove made in three years of Xuande in perfect condition worth?
When Lu Zhengyuan thought about this problem, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed hard by a sharp knife. He twitched in pain, and there was an unwilling roar in his stomach. Why didn't this Xuande Furnace belong to him? Even if it's not his, let's not say it belongs to a young boy like Meng Zitao!
The more Lu Zhengyuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He rushed forward and threw the copper stove to the ground, smashing it to pieces. Of course, he still had sense, and it was definitely impossible to put it into practice, but sitting here all the time, there was no guarantee that he would suddenly explode, so he got up and left.
