Zhu Zhanji's Wencheng martial arts are also excellent. He not only has outstanding talent in governing the country and military, but also is quite good in literature and art.

Zhu Zhanji Yashang calligraphy. He is especially good at painting landscapes, figures, animals, flowers and birds, grass and insects, etc. His calligraphy and painting works are often given to important officials as books, with the date and name of the recipient, and the seals of "treasure of Guangyun", "treasure of Wuying hall" and "Yongxi world".

In other words, Zhu Zhanji is not only an emperor, but also a talented scholar. His poetry, calligraphy and painting are also quite famous. Of course, the most famous is that Zhu Zhanji likes to play crickets.

When Zhu Zhanji was emperor, he was known as "the son of Taiping, the emperor of weaving". The promoter, cricket, is also called cricket among the people.

Zhu Zhanji likes to play crickets, which is a world-famous thing. However, no one is perfect and no gold is enough. The emperor is the emperor. He is also a person first. As long as he is a person, he will inevitably have such hobbies.

As the son of heaven, Zhu Zhanji likes to play crickets. Although he is suspected of not doing his job, who can say anything? At least people can manage such a big country well while playing crickets, which is enough. Better than his unfilial children and grandchildren?

In fact, for example, none of these emperors of the Ming Dynasty seems to be normal. No wonder later generations say that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are very wonderful.

Let's first talk about Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Zhanji's great grandfather. In the Yuan Dynasty, the names of Han people were very random, basically arranged according to numbers, so Zhu Yuanzhang's father named him Chongba. This is just like the reason why many animals were named in the early years of the founding of the people's Republic of China, such as two dogs, or dog eggs. However, the name of Zhu Yuanzhang is of great significance. The double eighth is 16, and there were 16 emperors in the Ming Dynasty. It's really not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang's father, a farmer, to have such a meaningful name.

And Zhu Zhanji, his father Zhu gaochi, the fourth CEO of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was the fattest emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the most edible emperor.

How fat is Zhu gaochi? The man is so fat that he needs the help of two waiters to move around, and he is so fat that he can eat it. He has never been on the front line, so why can he be an emperor? Good luck! His brother Zhu Gaoxi is brave and good at fighting. He has the spirit of his father's adult ancestor Zhu Di. His father Zhu Di originally had the idea of making Zhu gaoxu crown prince. However, he is not the eldest son. The older Zhu Di can't stand the shelling of Yan officials, so he somehow made this fat man emperor. However, after ten months as emperor, Zhu gaochi stepped down because he died of illness - a pure disease!

Zhu Zhanji needless to say, cricket emperor!

Zhu Zhanji's grandchildren were even worse. One of his grey grandchildren is Zhu Houying, that is, Emperor Jiajing. He is a genuine Taoist emperor, but he has been in power for a very long time, 45 years.

When Emperor Jiajing first ascended the throne, he was still very hard-working. Because he was a foreign vassal who ascended the throne, he wanted to give his parents a good name, but the ministers disagreed. Because this stimulated him, he didn't have much contact with the ministers later. Regardless of national affairs, they did not go to the court and went into the Taoist industry. Emperor Jiajing grew up in Jingchu and was the birthplace of Taoism. Therefore, in the later period of Jiajing, he basically did not take care of national affairs. He practiced the elixir day by day in order to live forever. He is called "Taoist emperor".

Zhu Zhanji's grey grandson, Zhu Yijun, was also Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli became emperor at the age of ten, but there has always been a big stone on his head. The government is completely entrusted by Zhang Juzheng. He himself is an empty shelf. Even if the poor Emperor Wanli was too depressed to find a maid of honor, he could be raised to the height of subjugation by Zhang Juzheng.

It was not easy for Zhang Juzheng to die. He listened to the words of the officials every day. Finally, he directly quit. He stubbornly didn't go out of the palace for 30 years, ignore the government, the suburbs, the temple, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court, the court! The most important thing is that in this way, the Ming Dynasty has not perished

As for Zhu Youxiao, another grey grandson of Zhu Zhanji, that is, Emperor Tianqi of emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, it is a wonderful work, known as "Luban of the Ming Dynasty".

The emperor is even more wonderful, because his professional skills are carpenters. He is the only carpenter emperor in Chinese history. The emperor is just a part-time job, which may not be counted as a part-time job.

The Apocalypse emperor's father was unpopular since childhood, so he also suffered. Since childhood, he was dull, didn't read, and didn't know a few big words. However, they had a good life. After the "palace transfer case", they were elected emperor.

When he was emperor, Wei Zhongxian was originally a gangster on the street. Because he was good at drilling camp, he entered the palace and became a eunuch; Rong was the emperor's nurse and had deep feelings. At this time, eunuch Wei Zhongxian and the evil Rong snake and mouse often jointly persecuted the Donglin Party. The carpenter emperor did not go to the court, and Wei Zhongxian also chose the emperor to report the situation when he was a carpenter. The Emperor just said: do it as you see fit. The carpenter emperor slowly sent the Ming Dynasty to death.

Anyway, from Zhu Yuanzhang to Emperor Chongzhen, there was almost no normal emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji just likes playing crickets, which is good.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji not only likes playing crickets, but also has a great hobby, that is, enjoying incense burners. After all, he is also a literati in his bones. If he doesn't have some elegant hobbies, can he still be called a literati?

When Zhu Zhanji was Emperor's grandson, his grandfather was very strict with him, so even if he liked to enjoy the censer, he didn't dare to do it wantonly, because he knew very well that once it was known by his emperor's grandfather Zhu Di, he would definitely be charged with playing with things and losing his will.

After Zhu Di's death, Zhu Zhanji's father was only emperor for ten months. Then when he ascended the throne, no one can control his people in the world. Therefore, not long after Zhu Zhanji came to power, the impulse that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out completely.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji came to power, in order to satisfy his hobby of enjoying incense burners, he ordered to import 39000 kg of wind mill copper from Siam, which is now Thailand, and instructed the Royal craftsman LV Zhen and the Minister of industry Wu bangzuo to refer to the styles of Chai kilns, Ru kilns, official kilns, Ge kilns, Jun kilns and Ding kilns, as well as historical records such as Xuanhe Bogu atlas and archaeological map, Design and supervise censer.

In order to ensure the quality of the censer, LV zhenzhan told the emperor that the copper had to be refined six times to make a good censer. Refining once, less. After six times, only half of the raw materials will be left.

But who is emperor Xuande? He is the son of heaven. He is not only rich and powerful, but also has a strong sense of high-quality products. So emperor Xuande immediately ordered that the number of refining not only not be reduced, but also be doubled, that is, refining 12 times, and adding precious metals such as gold and silver. So the craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver and carefully cast them together with red copper for more than ten times.

After great efforts, Xuande three years, the best copper censer was finally made successfully.

More than 3000 incense burners were cast from this batch of wind mill copper, which will never be produced again. Emperor Xuande saw this batch of censers that he had personally asked about. Each one had an abnormal atmosphere and bright lights. He felt a great sense of achievement.

Most of these incense burners were displayed in various places of the court, and a small part was rewarded and distributed to Royal relatives and relatives, dignitaries, temples with large-scale incense and envoys who came to pay tribute.

These Xuande furnaces are known by ordinary people only by their names but not by their shapes. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the copper incense burner cast in the third year of Xuande has been almost invisible.

The first batch of Xuande furnaces were so exquisite that many people coveted them. Even after Xuande's court closed the furnace for three years, some people still want to continue to imitate Xuande's furnace.

Among them, the supervisor who was responsible for supervising the first batch of Xuande furnaces at that time gathered the original craftsmen and cast Xuande furnaces separately. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, the wind mill copper has been used up and will not return. The foundry can only replace it with yellow miscellaneous copper, although the workmanship is as exquisite as before. The shape is more changeable, but the copper is finally inferior to. At the same time, the bottom payment has changed. The number of words increased, including "Wu bangzuo, supervisor of the Ministry of work in the five years of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty" and "Li Chengde, foreign minister of the Ministry of work", both regular script and seal script.

In addition to the contemporary imitation in Xuande Dynasty, there were also imitations in Zhengde period in the middle of Ming Dynasty. There were also a large number of imitations in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Therefore, in modern times, there are many imitations of Xuande furnace from the Ming Dynasty and many imitations from the Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China, but the real Xuande furnace produced in the third year of Xuande is difficult to find.

At present, in the market, there is no real Xuande furnace produced in the third year of Xuande. Many people even say that the real Xuande furnace in the third year of Xuande has disappeared!

Yang Jing originally thought so. The real Xuande stove has long been gone. Now the collections on the market and in the museum are all imitations. But it happened that these two primitive Xuande furnaces appeared in front of us. What's going on?

The Xuande furnace in the third year of Xuande had no standard type. The two Xuande furnaces in front of us were the same and different in style.

One of the copper furnaces is round, open, with a base and two plain dragon ears on both sides. The style is very strange. However, Yang Jing recognized the style of this copper incense burner at a glance. This is the smallest number of Youlong ear stove in Xuande stove.

This kind of scorpion dragon ear stove is usually specially used for the emperor's study. It can be placed on a incense table alone, or five feet west of the copy, or on the desk and bright cabinet. Large objects more than six inches can be placed in halls, rooms, halls, etc.

This scorpion dragon ear stove, with a diameter of more than 20 cm, that is, more than 6 inches, is obviously a incense burner that can be placed outside the study.

As for another copper incense burner, its shape is very simple, with three legs and flat round belly. Although it looks very simple, its lines are extremely elegant.

Yang Jing also recognized the style of this copper incense burner, which is the second only to the scorpion dragon ear stove.

Although the styles of the two copper incense burners are extremely rare, the color of the air polished copper is very positive, and the slurry is very round. There is also a six character regular script of "made in the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty" at the bottom, which doesn't seem to be imitated by later generations.

However, to be on the safe side, Yang Jing identified it with the holy ring. As expected, the two copper censers were cast in 1428, that is, the Xuande furnace in the third year of Xuande!
