"Nuo, isn't that a treasure? It's a real treasure. It's much more valuable than the bronze mirror bought by Qian Yanzi"

looking along the direction of Lin Xi's finger, the girl saw that the fragmentary incense burner was standing there alone on the youth stall, and immediately aroused her curiosity: "God stick, you lied to me again. Just now Qian Yanzi said, that incense burner The stove is not worth money at all. How can it be a treasure? "

Pushing his glasses, Lin Xi said with a deep smile: "I told you, Qian Yanzi missed his eyes this time. Do you know what the baby is? It's Xuande stove. It's a real valuable treasure. If you sell it, you can eat it for ten years. Do you believe it

Hearing Lin Xi's words, the girl's eyes brightened, but her words were full of doubts: "well, I don't believe it. It's a censer. How can it be so valuable? Don't deceive me. I don't understand it"

knowing that the girl's curiosity is heavy, and now she has nothing to do, Lin Xi simply explained: "Mingming, let me tell you a story, It is said that when the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was about to die, his son Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was later the Emperor Yongle, had a strange dream. He dreamed that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him a Dagui, a symbol of power. The Dagui carried the eight characters "pass on the descendants, forever prosperous."

"Just when Zhu Di was half awake and had a lot of afterthoughts, someone came to report to him that his grandson Zhu Zhanji was born, which immediately moved Zhu Di's mind. Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Di launched Jingnan in the name of" the evil of the Qing emperor's side "and became Emperor Yongle. His grandson Zhu Zhanji was not only deeply loved, but also his father Zhu gaochi was listed as the crown prince."

"Later, Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne and changed his name to Xuande, which was the later Xuande emperor. This emperor had a high cultural quality and was full of interest in life. He loved calligraphy and painting, shooting and weaving. He was praised as the son of Taiping and the king of Shoucheng by later generations. At the same time, he was the founder of yongxuanshengshi in Ming Dynasty."

After listening to Lin Xi's words, the girl was a little confused. On the contrary, she was even more puzzled: "God stick, what does it have to do with that baby when you say so much? How come the more you listen, the more you don't understand?"

"Mingming, don't worry. Listen to me slowly. After emperor Xuande ascended the throne, the whole country was stable and prosperous, and the pursuit of material pleasure was popular. Emperor Xuande inspected all the collections in the palace, and always felt that there were too many lost items. He often considered increasing the collection in the palace."

"Later, according to the literature, in the third year of Xuande, Emperor Xuande got tens of thousands of Jin of wind mill copper from the southern Sloa state, that is, today's Thailand, which greatly touched his idea of improving the furnishings of Jiaotan, Taimiao and Dingyi people in the inner court. So he decided to use these wind mill copper to cast censers. This censer is the famous Xuande censer."

"After emperor Xuande's decree, more than 18000 Xuande stoves were made, but now they are almost nowhere to be found. Even the Palace Museum in Taiwan has only collected four. As for why they were lost, the situation is a little complicated."

"At that time, in addition to imperial use, Xuande stoves were also used to distribute them to princes and ministers, altars in the suburbs of Beijing, and even to famous temples all over the country. However, many Xuande stoves were lost during the change of dynasties, so Xuande stoves became treasures that could not be found."

Although Lin Xi's story is good, the girl is not concerned about the story, but is curious about why Xuande stove is so valuable: "God stick, you say that censer is very valuable, why is it so valuable, but I think it's dilapidated, almost ugly to death."

Rubbing the girl's head again, Lin Xi had no choice but to continue to explain: "Mingming, how do I feel that I found out today that you are a little money fan? However, if we want to know why Xuande stove is valuable, we have to first talk about its cultural background, that is, the custom of "burning incense with a stove" behind Xuande stove

"This custom has a long history in our country. The ancients used to smoke incense on their clothes for the sake of etiquette. Literati also like to burn incense in the study where they read and write to create the artistic conception of" red sleeves and night reading ". Therefore, the custom of burning incense has existed since ancient times and occupies a very important position in daily life."

"Incense burner must be used for incense burning, so incense burner is also an unimaginable daily necessities in ancient people's life. As early as before Han Dynasty, incense burner made of ceramics and copper iron was used. Later, with the development of the times, incense burner made of other materials also appeared one after another and gradually replaced by copper incense burner. Xuande incense burner is the peak of copper incense burner production."

"In addition, Xuande furnace is also a treasure of Ming Dynasty handicrafts. Since the success of casting, it has created a precedent of later generations of copper furnace. For a long time, Xuande furnace has become the general name of copper incense burner. In order to make huge profits, from Xuande years of Ming Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China, antique dealers have never stopped copying Xuande furnace. Therefore, Xuande furnace is not only famous, but also famous The value is also extremely expensive, any one can sell millions or even tens of millions. "

After knowing the value of Xuande stove, the girl's eyes became brighter: "what are you waiting for? Let's go to buy the censer quickly. It's a lot of money ····"

seeing the girl eager to try, Lin Xi could only hold her down again with a bitter smile. This young girl is really good at anything, but she is too old-fashioned and weird. No matter what, she wants to do It's a show that doesn't give people a chance to react."Mingming, don't worry. Although I think the censer is probably true, there are too many imitations of Xuande censer. Even if the experts see it, they may not be able to identify it. What if it is an ancient imitation?"

After a pause, Lin Xi continued: "besides, the boy asked for 500000 yuan. Do you have so much money? Let's go and see if we can bargain. We'll talk when you look at me. "

As Lin Xi said, since Xuande stoves were made, because of their exquisite craftsmanship and scarcity, there have been many imitations among the people. Although they all fall into the "Xuande year system of the Ming Dynasty", they are not the Xuande stoves made by Emperor Xuande for Royal use.

In addition, the emperors of all dynasties later had imitated Xuande stoves, which made the number of imitations far more than the real ones. Due to various reasons, the treasures and imitations of Xuande stoves were destroyed and destroyed. Therefore, it is difficult for experts to determine whether the Xuande stoves seen in the market and in major museums are really made by Emperor Xuande Batch.

Although Lin Xi had seen the censer with his heavenly eye power when he said it was a family heirloom as early as he was a teenager, he was sure that it was an old object in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty, but he was not sure that it was the real Xuande censer.

Why? The main reason is that Lin Xi's career time is too short and his knowledge is relatively limited. He has no accurate grasp of Xuande stove, which has been imitated from ancient times to the present. Moreover, Xuande stove has been imitated since Xuande years. It is not by the ability of heavenly eye to determine the age that the authenticity can be determined.

"Well, I'll listen to you. I promise I won't speak for a while, but if it's Xuande stove and the little boy wants 500000 yuan, will you still buy it? Will it be a loss? ·· "

although the girl is really old and strange, it is often beyond Lin Xi's expectation, which makes him unresponsive, but he is sure to be smart. He immediately thought about the key point. Lin Xi pondered for a moment, as if thinking about the girl's problem:" if it's really Xuande stove, even if it's bad, it won't be a loss for 500000 yuan, just ask experts to repair it Come back, it's OK to change hands for two or three million. "

At this point, Lin Xi pondered again for a moment, and then continued: "as for whether to buy it or not, it's really uncertain. Mingming, you know, I have planned to buy a house in Mingzhou, which is the house I live in now. These days, the intermediary company is negotiating with the landlord. If the negotiation is successful, I must sign a contract to pay the bill first."

"So the money for buying a house must be saved, and my money has other uses, so I'm not very rich. If the teenagers can keep the price down, I can consider taking it"
