"Black Myth" Players Rejoice! The Real-Life "Boshan Censer" from Wukong's Meditation Scene is Here!

Have you been bombarded by "Black Myth: Wukong" lately? Beyond the exhilarating combat and stunning visuals, it's the game's Eastern-inspired details that truly steal the show! 🎮 Take the Canglang Forest Mountain Pavilion scene, for instance—the small incense burner beside Wukong as he meditates, emitting wisps of smoke. That’s the **"Boshan Censer"**, and **it’s not just a fictional prop!** Its real-life counterpart is a **top-tier Chinese cultural treasure—the Western Han Dynasty Bronze Boshan Censer with Beast-Riding Figure**! Even more exciting? **Its actual artifact is currently in Shanghai!** 👀 📍 **Location: Minhang Museum, Shanghai** 📜 **Exhibition: "Great Han Weiyang—Exquisite Artifacts from the Hebei Royal Family"** **🔥 Quick Glimpse of This Treasure:** * **Noble Origins:** Dating back to the Western Han Dynasty (over 2,000 years ago!), it was a functional item used by Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and his wife. * **Stunning Craftsmanship:** Gilded in silver and standing 32.4 cm tall, its luxurious aura is undeniable! * **Intricate Details:** The most jaw-dropping feature is its handle—**a muscular figure, bare-chested and kneeling, struggling to control a ferocious mythical beast that’s crouching and snapping its jaws!** The figure’s left hand presses the beast’s neck while his right firmly supports the censer, his head turned in a dynamic, powerful pose. * **Lid with a Story:** The lid is exquisitely carved with layered mountain peaks and scenes of humans and beasts locked in combat, featuring openwork designs that allow smoke to rise while showcasing artistic brilliance. Imagine lighting incense back then—smoke wafting through the hollowed-out peaks, creating an ethereal, otherworldly scene! **🎮 Game vs. Reality:** In "Black Myth," it accompanies Wukong in meditation; in reality, it’s a masterpiece of Han Dynasty craftsmanship and aesthetics. Seeing it in person is a hundred times more awe-inspiring than any in-game screenshot! **🛍️ Take "National Treasure" Home:** Can’t get enough after seeing the real thing? No worries! The Minhang Museum’s gift shop has you covered with **various beautifully crafted Boshan Censer replicas** (prices range from tens to hundreds of yuan, catering to all budgets). Pair it with your favorite incense and recreate Wukong’s zen vibe at home! 🎁 **📌 Quick Tips for Your Visit:** 1. **Exhibition Name:** "Great Han Weiyang—Exquisite Artifacts from the Hebei Royal Family" 2. **Location:** Minhang Museum, Shanghai 3. **Must-See Treasure:** Western Han Bronze Boshan Censer with Beast-Riding Figure (likely the centerpiece of the exhibit!) 4. **Don’t Miss:** The Boshan Censer merch in the gift shop! 5. **Perfect For:** "Black Myth" fans, history buffs, artifact enthusiasts, lovers of traditional Chinese aesthetics, and families looking for an educational weekend outing!
