What is the origin of Lux riding Longboshan furnace? Why is the Boshan furnace in the Western Han Dynasty so precious?

Lux rides Longboshan Furnace, made in the Western Han Dynasty. According to historical research, its main function is to burn incense, which belongs to a kind of incense burner. The reason why it caused such a great sensation when it was unearthed was that it was very exquisite in both production technology and incense burner modeling, showing the production technology that did not match at that time from the side. As we all know, China, as a vast country, has an unparalleled historical background and a long history. In the vast traditional culture of China, antique cultural relics are extremely eye-catching. Since the founding of New China, many antiques with local characteristics have been unearthed all over the country, and Boshan Furnace in the Western Han Dynasty is one of them.

The so-called Boshan is actually the collective name of several fairy mountains where ancient immortals lived. As we all know, since Qin Shihuang, the emperor has been very persistent about immortality. Even in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu still believed that there was a way to live forever. In order to express his good wishes, he ordered the craftsmen to make the incense burner in the palace into a mountain shape with fairy wind and named it Boshan Furnace.

As one of the most famous incense burners in Boshan Furnace, Lishi Riding Dragon Boshan Furnace is a funerary object of Emperor Jing. Although it was robbed of the limelight by another Boshan furnace with more colorful colors when it was unearthed, it still did not hide the exquisiteness of Lux riding a dragon and Boshan furnace. From the appearance, the incense burner is round and belly-shaped, which is divided into three parts: cover, body and bottom. The furnace cover is made in the shape of Boshan, and you can see the second floor when you open the cover. The second floor is hollowed out, which is also extremely delicate in modern times.

The most ingenious thing is that at the bottom, an expressive Lux holds this furnace body with a certain weight, and the other hand holds a dragon, showing a subtle sense of harmony as a whole. Technically speaking, Boshan Furnace in the Western Han Dynasty can be produced in the Western Han Dynasty where technology is so underdeveloped, which fully demonstrates the infinite creativity of human beings. It is precisely because of this that so many treasures have emerged in the history of China, which makes China culture shine.
