Bronze is melted in a furnace at a thousand degrees, as artisans hold their chisels like pens, painting on the metal. Amid the ringing sound of hammers, dragon and phoenix patterns gradually awaken, with the vessels radiating a dark golden glow.

Each carved line is a dialogue with time, imprinting the indelible marks of civilization.
