中國是一個很重視佛教的國家，宗教活動不僅僅是民間的生活不可或缺的一部分，同時也是皇家統治國家或者內安民心的利器。當然皇家對于宗教的信仰和使用方式會更注重儀式感和權威性，更加的嚴格遵守和對待宗教的一些規章制度，這樣就將佛教推上了另一個高度，那么佛教的法器、禮器也當然有舉足輕重的地位。宣德爐就是典型代表。

China is a country that attaches great importance to Buddhism. Religious activities are not only an indispensable part of folk life, but also a sharp weapon for the imperial rule of the country or the internal peace of the people. Of course, the Royal Faith and the way of using religion will pay more attention to the sense of ritual and authority, more strictly abide by and treat some rules and regulations of religion, thus pushing Buddhism to another high level, so Buddhist instruments and rituals will certainly play a decisive role. Xuande furnace is a typical representative.
