铜香炉乃重器，所用铜质必精良。要注意的是铜质精良不等于铜香炉胎质粗大，厚重。还是要求整体比例协调的。铜质精良是指铜经过多次提炼后致使铜的密度高，有糯的感觉，非现在的铜仿制所能达到。所以有人开始用古铜钱融化后仿炉，就是为追求这种效果。
The censer is a heavy vessel, and the quality of the copper used will be excellent. It should be noted that the quality of copper is not the same as that of copper censer. It still requires overall proportion coordination. Excellent copper refers to the high density and waxy feeling of copper after being refined for many times, which can not be achieved by the current copper imitation. So some people began to use ancient copper money to melt and then imitate the furnace, just to pursue this effect.
好的铜香炉，款没有不精良的，炉好款差的铜香炉尽可放弃。款好的第一标准是清晰。一笔一划必须清晰。笔划中联着铜质导致不清晰，致使笔划不清、缺少、多余的皆不可取。好的炉款不仅端正庄重，还透出飘逸、清秀的感觉，一般多为清中早期前的铜香炉。工整，呆板的多为清中后期，或是电脑刻款。
A good copper censer, there is no inferior one, a good one can give up. The first standard of a good model is clarity. Every stroke must be clear. The copper in the strokes leads to the unclear, which leads to the unclear, missing and redundant strokes. A good stove is not only dignified and solemn, but also elegant and elegant. It is usually a copper censer before the middle and early Qing Dynasty. Neat, rigid for the late Qing Dynasty, or computer engraving.
