Have you been flooded with "Black Myth: Wukong" recently? Besides the exhilarating combat and stunning visuals, the details filled with Eastern charm in the game truly deserve applause! 🎮
Especially the Canglang Forest Pavilion, where the little incense burner surrounded by smoke next to Wukong during meditation—the **"Boshan Incense Burner"**—**is definitely not made up out of thin air!** Its prototype is a top Chinese cultural treasure—the **Western Han Dynasty Bronze Boshan Incense Burner with Rider and Beast**! Even more exciting, **its real form is now in Shanghai!** 👀
📍 **Location: Minhang Museum, Shanghai**
📜 **Exhibition: "The Great Han Dynasty Unending—Exquisite Royal Artifacts from Hebei"**
**🔥 Quick Look at the Treasure Artifact:**
* **Prestigious Origin:** From the Western Han period (over 2,000 years ago!), it was once a practical item of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and his wife.
* **Stunning Appearance:** Fully silver-gilded, 32.4 cm tall, exuding an aura of nobility at first glance!
* **Impressive Details:** The most striking part is the handle of the burner—a muscular strongman, bare-chested and kneeling, fiercely controlling a prostrate struggling divine beast that raises its head to bite! The strongman’s left hand supports the beast’s neck, the right hand firmly holds the burner body, and he gazes sideways, full of power and dynamic energy!
* **A Lid with a World Inside:** The lid is exquisitely carved, depicting mountains and ridges with intense battles between humans and beasts. The hollow design not only ensures the incense smoke swirls beautifully but also offers great artistic appreciation. Imagine when incense was lit back then, smoke curling up through the hollowed mountain ridges—a truly ethereal scene!
**🎮 Game VS Reality:** In "Black Myth," it accompanies Wukong’s meditation; in reality, it is the pinnacle of Han Dynasty craftsmanship and aesthetics! Seeing it in person is a hundred times more stunning than game screenshots!
