The small reception room on the sixth floor of Qinlin Hotel.

Zhou Xingwen, Qian Bin, Zhang Li, Liao Hongbing, Sun Jianguo, and even Cao Guoqing also came, sitting on the sofa, all staring at Yang Xiuwen, making him feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Master Zhou Xingwen spoke: "Xiu Wen, what are you waiting for? Let's talk."

Yang Xiuwen stood up and walked to the coffee table in the middle.

He glanced at the Xuande stove on the coffee table and said, "Yes, master, the people here today are all my seniors, so I'm going to boldly tell you a story."

After he finished speaking, he cleared his throat and continued, "The incense burner originated from burning incense. Ancient literati would incense their clothes for etiquette, and they would light a stick of incense in the room when reading and writing, creating the artistic conception of "reading at night with fragrant red sleeves".

Therefore, incense burners appeared before the Han Dynasty, mostly made of pottery, porcelain, copper, iron, tile, etc.

In the Ming Dynasty, the production of incense burners reached its peak.

During the reign of Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Danji was very fond of incense burners and ordered the import of a batch of red copper from other countries.

Lu Zhen, the royal craftsman of the palace, and Wu Baizuo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, were ordered to design and manufacture the incense burner with reference to the styles of Chai, Ru, Ge, Jun and Ding kiln porcelain stored in the palace, as well as the "Xuanhe Bogu Illustration" and "Archaeological Maps".

In order to ensure the quality, Lu Zhen refined the copper six times, but the emperor was dissatisfied, until it was refined twelve times.

The copper was refined less and less, and precious metals such as gold and silver were added. It was not until the third year of Xuande that the top-quality copper incense burner was successfully produced.

There were 3,000 incense burners in total, and they will never be produced again.

Due to the addition of gold, silver, and precious metals, the selection is heavier. The furnace quality is delicate and the color is internally melted. It emits strange light in the dark, like baby skin. The furnace colors are different, including eggplant skin color, Tibetan scripture color, brown, earthy gold, etc.

The seat is brown."

As he spoke, he pointed to the incense burner on the coffee table. Because the production was small, there was a signature on the bottom of each one. This was supervised by Wu Baizuo, the Minister of Industry."

Qian Bin, Zhou Xingwen and others listened with gusto and applauded after Yang Xiuwen finished speaking.

Liao Hongbing raised his thumb at Zhou Xingwen and said: "Brother Zhou, your apprentice has much more knowledge of antiques than I do. The master is better than the master. It's awesome!"

Zhou Xingwen also laughed happily.

Yang Xiuwen raised his hands and thanked everyone and said humbly, "Uncle Liao, Uncle Sun, you guys don't dare to be like this. I just learned a little bit from the master, and I still need to learn more from the seniors."

He looked up and saw Zhang Li glaring at Cao Guoqing, and smiled to himself, "Cao Guoqing's miserable career is about to begin."

On the way back, Qian Bin and Zhou Xingwen discussed for a while.

He called Yang Xiuwen who was following not far behind and said: "Xiuwen, I discussed with your Uncle Qian and decided to let you go to school. Our cultural relics department has an implicit quota every year. The Department of Archeology of Kyoto University is a three-year program.

, are you willing to go?”

Yang Xiuwen did not expect such a good thing and was deceived.

After a while, he looked at the master and said, "Master, I am willing. Is this possible?"

Zhou Xingwen and Qian Bin smiled, and Qian Bin said, "It's impossible, don't worry about it, as long as you are willing, but you have to take an internal exam. I will notify you in a few days. Read the book carefully and don't embarrass your master and me."

When he returned home, Yang Xiuwen still thought about going to college. There was a voice in his subconscious saying that he must go to college.

He understood that this was Yang Xiuwen's wish in this life. After all, he was very good at studying in high school and had no problem getting into college. However, his parents died unexpectedly and his dream was cut short. Unexpectedly, a year later...

Lying on the bed, he began to practice, feeling the scene in his Dantian, and he felt more and more like he was thinking of something.

The dark energy squeezed aside by the black stones looks like a fish. Damn it, isn't this Tai Chi?

However, the stones are not of light nature. The five colors they emit are absorbed by the surrounding five rings, and the colors of the five rings become increasingly clear.

As the rotation of the five rings accelerated, more attribute spiritual energy from the surrounding environment was attracted, and then entered his Dantian.

He is now certain that he will reach the third level of Qi training by the end of the month.

According to the inheritance of the masters of the Qin Dynasty, you have to reach the fifth level of Qi training before you can carve talismans, and you have to reach the tenth level of Qi training before you can refine weapons. There is still a long way to go.

On the second floor of Wenxuan Pavilion, Yang Xiuwen was holding a piece of Hetian jade carving, and Cao Guoqing came up holding a "Censer Tasting Catalog".

This book was given to him by Zhang Li and he was asked to memorize it within a week.

He knocked on the table and said, "I'm talking about writing. Now you're so good at singing. You don't write or draw. You've started sculpting. Tell your master later."

Yang Xiuwen looked up at him and said, "Look for yourself, the jades on the counter are all white boards, who wants them?"

I plan to carve it into a pendant. Someone will definitely buy it.

Besides, next month, my wife will celebrate her birthday, and I plan to give a Hetian jade pendant as a gift. If you go out and buy it, you have the sincerity to make it yourself.
