In this exhibition, Huayi International has joined hands with many important Xuande furnace collectors to present more than 150 masterpieces of Xuande furnace in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The reporter saw on the scene that the Xuande furnace inscriptions on display were diverse, with different book styles. In addition to the common "Xuande system" and "Daming Xuande year system", there were also "Very Garden", "Spoon Garden" and "Xi State Collection". "Yongxuan Zhenbao", "Yixian Family", "Songhan Treasures", "Zhujiangtang" and other models.

In fact, the Xuande furnace has been loved by literati and nobles since its inception, and has even formed a trend in the upper class.
As a result, the term "Xuande furnace" not only represents the royal imperial copper furnace itself in the Xuande era, but also the highest praise for the heavy-duty and finely crafted copper incense furnace in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Ming and Qing copper furnaces have profound aesthetic taste and humanistic background, but there has been a lack of systematic academic research on this category in these years.
Wang Li, senior vice president of Huayi International, said that this special exhibition of Xuande furnaces in the Ming and Qing dynasties was held to enjoy the spirit, wonder and wonder of Xuande furnaces.

In history, most of these colorful and radiant incense burners made by the emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty were displayed in the court, and only a small part of them were awarded to the relatives of the emperor, the relatives of the emperor, and the prominent ministers of fame. And the temples are famous, large-scale, and incense.
Since the raw materials cannot be resolved, there has been no production since then.
But in order to satisfy people's desire for the Xuande furnace, Wu Bangzuo, the official involved in the casting of the furnace at the time, had privately called the craftsmen who made the furnace to "privately" make it in the same way after the furnace was stopped, and the furnace was of high quality.

Guo Zhaohong, consultant of Huayi International Bronze Furnace Section, introduced that after Xuande, Emperors such as Jiajing, Zhengde, and Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Kang Yong Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, not only imitated a large number of Xuande furnaces, but also personally used daily expenses. "Xuande Lu Sanpu" ("Xuande Yi Qipu", "Xuande Ding Yipu", "Xuande Yiqi Tupu") is included in "Siku Quanshu".
Among the folks, there are countless imitations of Xuande furnaces. Private copper furnaces such as Wu Bangzuo, Hu Wenming, and Shisao are also frequently produced with high quality, good temperature, excellent style and color.
In modern times, there are even more capable craftsmen such as Chen Qiaosheng, who have built the furnace not inferior to the ancients.
Therefore, if the definition of the legendary tool of Xuande furnace is too rigid, it is obviously inappropriate. Perhaps it can be said that Xuande furnace does not simply indicate the batch of so-called Xuande furnaces made by the emperor of Xuande, but from the creation of Xuande furnace. At the beginning, the Ming and Qing dynasties all used brass and brass to cast this kind of copper incense burners. Among them, there are not a few exquisite and representative ones. The style characteristics of each period are also worthy of careful study and taste by major art lovers.
It is reported that the exhibition will last until September 25.
