一、 先看铜香炉的器型。
First, look at the brass burner type.
铜香炉是焚香用具，或作祭奠之用、或作书房之用的重器。以端正庄严为上，切不可以大小论之。上品的铜香炉欣赏时有种肃穆、古朴的感觉。尽量避免买器型怪异，花俏的铜香炉，这种香炉已违背了铜香炉的用途，仅作工艺品之用，不足取。古人制炉时必定恭恭敬敬，才能制出端正庄严重器。买炉时先从几米外对香炉看一眼，看看香炉是否端正庄严，肃穆古朴。需平视。看炉身比例是否协调。包括耳、足、口、肚的比例是否端正。挑出好的再进行下一步观察…….
Copper incense incense appliance, or as a memorial, or as a study by using the jack. In order to correct the majesty of the above, we must not be the size of the theory. The bronze incense burner of the top grade has a kind of solemn and unsophisticated feeling when appreciating. To avoid buying is weird, fancy copper incense, the incense has violated the use of copper incense, only to be used as handicrafts, paltrily. The furnace must be respectful, can be obtained by end of turn is serious. When buying a stove, take a look at the burner from a few meters, and see whether the incense burner is straight and solemn and solemn and unsophisticated. Head up. To see whether the proportion of body coordination. Including the ears, feet, mouth and belly ratio is correct?. Pick out the good ones and proceed to the next observation...... .
上图：型好，比例适中，端正，古朴。实际上是个很小的残炉。所以炉不以大小定好坏。
Above: well shaped, medium in proportion, straight, quaint. It's actually a small residue furnace. Therefore, the furnace is not good or bad in size.
二、看铜香炉的铜质。
Two. Look at the copper of the bronze incense burner.
铜香炉乃重器，所用铜质必精良。要注意的是铜质精良不等于铜香炉胎质粗大，厚重。还是要求整体比例协调的。铜质精良是指铜经过多次提炼后致使铜的密度高，有糯的感觉，非现在的铜仿制所能达到。所以有人开始用古铜钱融化后仿炉，就是为追求这种效果。
But jack used copper incense burner, copper will be fine. It should be noted that copper is not good copper burner, fetal quality is large, heavy. Or the whole scale?. Copper is excellent, refers to copper after repeated refining, resulting in high density of copper, waxy feeling, not now copper imitation can reach. So some people began to use bronze money to melt the imitation oven, just for the sake of pursuing this effect.
上图：铜质精良，无现代铜的火气，细看有糯的感觉。
Above: copper is excellent, without the anger of modern copper, scrutinize the waxy feeling.
三、看款。
Three, see the money.
好的铜香炉，款没有不精良的，炉好款差的铜香炉尽可放弃。款好的第一标准是清晰。一笔一划必须清晰。笔划中联着铜质导致不清晰，致使笔划不清、缺少、多余的皆不可取。好的炉款不仅端正庄重，还透出飘逸、清秀的感觉，一般多为清中早期前的铜香炉。工整，呆板的多为清中后期，或是电脑刻款。
A good bronze incense burner is not good, but a good bronze incense burner can not be given up. The first standard is clear. One must be clear. The stroke of copper in combination leads to a lack of clarity, which makes the stroke unclear, missing or superfluous. A good furnace is not only correct and solemn, but also reveals elegant, delicate and delicate feeling, usually mostly in the middle of the Qing Dynasty before the bronze burner. Neat, rigid, mostly in the late Qing Dynasty, or computer engraved paragraph.
上图：笔划不清，多余，不可取。
Above: stroke is not clear, superfluous, undesirable.
上图：字不清晰，不可取。
Above: the characters are not clear and undesirable.
四、好的渠道，做事先看人。
Four, good channels, do advance look at people.
这是古话，买香炉亦如此，卖的一方必须要有一定的鉴定水平，良好的品质。收藏必须要有知心的朋友帮助掌眼或互补有无，没有绝对的专家。到地摊上去买，买二十年还是不会长进的，也不要到小贩那里听故事，保持良好的心态。不要相信外面的鉴定专家。
This is an old saying, buy Incense Burner is also so, the seller must have a certain level of identification, good quality. The collection must have intimate friends or help have complementary, there is no absolute expert. To the stall to buy, buy twenty years or will not progress, nor to vendors there to listen to the story, keep a good state of mind. Don't trust an outside expert.
五  实践是检验真理的唯一标准。
Five practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
这是客观规律，也可以说市场是检验铜香炉新旧、好差的基本标准。这里说的市场指一些相对比较大型的古玩市场，如上海、南京、北京、成都等地方的。收藏铜香炉不能埋头苦干，要及时了解市场动向。特别是做旧的最新科技成果。同时需要定期拿自己的铜香炉到市场上锻炼一下！这里需讲明：不是花言巧语把香炉卖给他人。而是把铜香炉用市场的手段检验。举例：如果花一万元人民买个香炉，感觉吃不准、或感觉买高了、或感觉捡漏了。你把炉拿到比较上档次的古玩市场，给那里开店的老板看看，不动声色地听别人评论，要清楚知道讲好讲坏都是不可信的，只有人民币是真的，最后你问开店老板要不要，对方开价2000元人民币，说明你买的不亏。对方愿出5000元人民币，说明你买的合算了，往上的就是捡漏了。对方不要，两种可能：1、老，太差了。普品，品相差。2、新的。你尽可放心，那些老板是靠老东西过日子的，不会化冤枉钱的，碰到好东西也不会错过攒钱的机会。你也可能说对方眼光不行，那你有本事去化十多万一年租个店铺试试，那些人都是刀口上舔血练出的真本领，比教授、专家强100倍！
This is objective law, also can say, the market is the basic standard that checks copper censer "old and new", "good", "bad". The market here refers to some relatively large antique markets, such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing, Chengdu and so on. Not hard to collect copper censer, timely understanding of market trends. In particular, do the old, the latest scientific and technological achievements. At the same time need to regularly take their own copper burner to the market for exercise! Here it is necessary to explain: it is not rhetoric to sell incense to others. Instead, the copper burner is tested by market means. For example: if you spend ten thousand yuan to buy a people's feeling, eat no incense, or feeling, or feeling to buy high jianlou. You get the furnace comparison on the level of the antique market, where to shop to see the boss, quietly listening to comments, to know good bad is not credible, the renminbi is only really, finally you ask the boss not to shop, offer 2000 yuan, you buy do not lose. The other side is willing to 5000 yuan, you buy a cost-effective, is to jianlou. The other side does not, two possibilities: 1, old, too bad. General product quality difference. 2, new. You can rest assured that those bosses live on old things, they won't waste their money, and they won't miss the opportunity to save money when they meet good things. You may say that the other eye can not, then you have the ability to Shiduowanyi years rent a shop to try, those people are really the ability to get the knife licking the blood, and 100 times stronger than the professor expert!
六、关于宣德炉：
Six, about the Xuande furnace:
据载：宣德炉仅在宣德三年铸造过一次，共得5000只，以后即封炉不铸。
According to the load: only three years in Xuan Xuande furnace cast a total of 5000, namely after sealing furnace casting.
我想对收藏宣德炉提出自己的看法。对宣德炉真品的探讨，现在众说纷纭。搞到现在连台湾故宫博物馆内藏的几只宣德炉都难定真伪。更别说大陆博物馆藏的铜炉了。
I want to put forward their own views of Xuande furnace. Study on genuine Xuande furnace, now Public opinions are divergent. Up to now even the Imperial Palace Museum in Taiwan in a few are difficult to decide the authenticity of Xuande furnace. Not to mention the bronze stove hidden in the continental museum.
研究的人对鉴定宣德炉提出了五花八门的方法，都还是停留在研究的层面，那么今后是否有真宣出现哪？
The study puts forward all kinds of methods of identification are still stuck in the furnace, the level of the study, then the future is really declared?
本人认为还是有希望的，出现真宣的途径不外下面几种：
I think there is still hope, but there are several ways of showing true propaganda:
1、在西藏等地密宗寺庙内出现有据可查的宣德炉。因为自明永乐开始，为统治西藏地区，朝廷经常制佛像等贵重物品送到西藏各大寺庙。宣德炉乃礼佛重器。朝廷岂有不送之理。况且西藏地区的各大寺庙对佛器的保存流传相当重视，留有各类档案。我想西藏地区今后应该能出现毫无疑问的真品宣德炉。
1, Tibet and other places in the temples in the well documented Xuande furnace. Since the beginning of Yongle, in order to rule the Tibet area, the imperial court often statues and other valuables sent to Tibet's major temples. Jack is Buddha Xuande furnace. Did the court not give a reason?. Besides the major temples in Tibet area to save the spread of statue of collector of considerable importance, have all kinds of files. I think in the Tibet area should be undoubtedly the emergence of genuine Xuande furnace.
2、内地寺庙、塔等地宫出品。我们知道每次地宫出品都是惊骇世俗。都能解决些历史考证遗留的疑难杂症。说不定那天某地宫内发现铜香炉，傍边有明确的文字记载证明是真宣。就像秘色瓷出现一样。因为宣德炉制造了很多，想想应该会送几只（可能数量较大）到护国寺和全国高僧那里。
2, the mainland temples, towers and other Palace of the Earth products. We know that every time Palace of the Earth produces horror, it's secular. We can solve some historical legacy Difficult miscellaneous diseases. Perhaps a bronze incense burner was found in Palace of the Earth that day, and there was a definite written record to prove it. It's like a secret porcelain. Because a lot of furnace manufacturing, think should send a few (possibly large number) to the Huguo temple and the monks there.
3、考古挖墓出品，这个证据力较上两个有不足。因为连皇宫内出品的宣德炉
3, archaeological dig tomb produced, this evidence is less than the last two. Because even the palace produced Xuande furnace
