Furnace gold was a kind of gold processing technology. It separated the titanium metal ions from the parent metal by physical vapor condensation and arranged them evenly and orderly on the surface of the product. After the ions were sorted, the formed film layer would greatly increase the hardness and anti-wear effect of the product. The hardness would be 20 times that of the parent metal. Most of the gold ornaments in the furnace were made of pure gold. Although it was pure gold, its hardness was higher than ordinary pure gold. There were titanium steel furnace gold jewelry on the market. This kind of jewelry would not be deformed, would not fade, and was easy to maintain. It could restore its luster with a light rub of cotton cloth. The longer it was used, the better the color. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

As for the gold-gilded elephant-headed incense burner, there was a gold-gilded elephant-headed Vajra copper incense burner from the Tang Dynasty in the museum of the Fa Men Temple. It was buried in the underground palace in the 15th year of Tang Xiantong (874). It was a typical incense burner of the Tang Esoteric Sect. The hollowed-out furnace cover was decorated with a statue of Vinayaka kneeling on the lotus bud. The Tantra Vinayaka was translated as the God of Obstacles. It originated from the Elephant Trunk God of Ganisa, the son of Shiva in India. Buddhism introduced it as the guardian god. The statue of Vinayaka was decorated on the top of the incense burner, meaning that burning incense could break through obstacles and eliminate evil spirits. This was the only bronze incense burner of the Tantra Vinayaka statue discovered so far. In addition, 160 years after the Yuanmingyuan was burned down, experts discovered a gold-plated bronze elephant head when excavating the river. It was speculated that it was probably a part of a large object in the Yuanmingyuan (such as an incense burner, a tripod, etc.).
