"That's right, look at their professional abilities, and then look at yourself. I'm ashamed for you!"

"How dare you call yourself a treasure appraiser when you only know a little bit of Kung Fu?"

Boss Zhou listened to Boss Liu's opinions and nodded with satisfaction. He felt more and more that Lin Han was a person who had no abilities and was only blindly arrogant.

"Boss Liu, please continue."

Lin Han ignored Boss Zhou and continued to speak to Boss Liu.

Listening to Lin Han's affirmation and Boss Zhou's praise, Boss Liu continued to speak.

"The phoenix is ​​the king of birds in ancient Chinese legends. The male is called "feng" and the female is called "huang". They are generally called "phoenix."

"Its shape is 'chicken head, snake neck, swallow forehead, turtle back, fish tail, colorful, and about six feet high'."

"The entire surface of this brick is embossed with a phoenix with its wings spread and its tail raised, and its image features are basically consistent with the records."

"The wings and tail of the phoenix in the painting have broken through the border pattern ribbon, with its wings spread out, its chest erect and neck raised, its long tail held high, and its legs spread apart, showing a strong and proud aura, highlighting the majesty of the king of birds."

"This is the pattern engraved on the phoenix brick. Ordinary phoenix bricks are indeed worthless, but if they were made with ancient craftsmanship, they would be worth a fortune."

Boss Liu continued to explain to everyone.

Following the pace of Boss Liu's explanation, everyone focused their attention on the brick with a phoenix image on the table.

The phoenix portrait brick does indeed depict a lifelike phoenix. Even after thousands of years of wind and rain, the appearance of the flying phoenix has not been damaged at all.

The phoenix is ​​flying like a divine bird descending to the earth, and its blazing light covers the earth, as if it is in a blessed land.

The king of birds, with his majestic presence filling the whole world, spreads his wings and flies high, descending to the earth.

Such exquisite carving techniques are generally not seen in modern society. Only the wisdom and refined craftsmanship of the ancients can carve such stunning patterns.

The moment everyone's eyes were focused on the phoenix pattern, it was as if the phoenix on the phoenix portrait brick came to life.

"The pictures on these portrait bricks are molded and have a relief-like artistic effect. It is a very famous relief technique during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, giving people a lifelike feeling."

"Art like this is also very difficult. Without decades of consistent study, it is impossible to reach this level."

“Although the relief craftsmanship is exquisite, if the entire pattern is presented in relief, it will appear stiff and cumbersome.”

"Therefore, most of the other techniques are still mainly based on line sketching, with accurate image outlines, flowing and soft lines, and mostly concise pictures with weak and thin figures, which have a unique charm."

"When this phoenix-shaped brick was unearthed, some scholars speculated that there must have been a copy on paper or silk, and the author of the copy must have had a very high level of artistic ability. These bricks can also be said to be representative works of Southern Dynasty painting."

"However, this is just a scholar's speculation. As for what the historical truth is, we don't know it yet."

"But what we can be sure of is that this brick with a phoenix portrait is definitely a rare treasure of the time."

The more Boss Liu spoke, the more excited he became, and the more it seemed that he had a lot of experience and knowledge, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"But, Boss Liu, have you ever thought about a problem, that is relief art."

"Just like you said, the pattern on the phoenix portrait brick is a relief art, and if there are too many such relief patterns, it will appear cumbersome."

"But what if it's too little?"

"If there are too few, it would not be possible to show the preciousness of the relief art at that time."

Lin Han also raised his own questions accordingly.

This question really stumped Boss Liu. This brick with the phoenix image does have relief art.

Without talking about the exquisiteness of the relief art, let’s first look at the number of relief art.

Just as Boss Liu said, if the patterns on the phoenix portrait bricks were all in relief art, it would appear very cumbersome.

But the problem now is that, apart from the phoenix, there is no other relief art on the phoenix portrait brick.

From this perspective, it is different from the historical records unearthed.

The relief technique was a very famous carving technique at that time. Logically, there should be dozens of patterns on a brick with a phoenix portrait.

It is a bit unreasonable that there is only one relief technique among these dozens of patterns.

Some things do not look good if you have too much of them, but if you have too little of them, their true beauty cannot be reflected.

The relief craftsmanship on this phoenix-image brick is like this, and it is in an extremely awkward position.

"That's not the case, Master Lin Han. The number of relief carvings on this phoenix brick is indeed not very large."

"However, there were also quite a few artifacts of the same type unearthed at that time. According to records at the time, there were a total of 60 pieces."

"Among the sixty identical documents, there will naturally be varying qualities, and some will be good and some will be bad."

"As for this phoenix-shaped brick, perhaps the relief craftsmanship on it is a little less, but this does not affect its quality and historical value."

"Perhaps the final transaction price of this phoenix brick will not be as high as other unearthed cultural relics, but it is still a rare treasure of the time."

"In addition, the Northern and Southern Dynasties have been over a thousand years since then. Over a thousand years, the wind and sun, the vicissitudes of life, and the baptism of time will inevitably change the shape of the original things."

"This phoenix brick has been unearthed for nearly a hundred years. During this century, I don't know how many hands it has passed through. It is unknown whether it has been worn out to some extent."

Boss Liu explained to Lin Han.

In its opinion, there are indeed no mistakes or omissions in this item. Some extremely normal phenomena cannot be called counterfeit, at most they are just flaws.

Over thousands of years, people will decay, let alone objects buried deep underground.

Naturally, there will be a certain amount of wear and tear, which is understandable. Besides, no one knows what the manufacturing technology was like at the time.

We can only judge previous technologies based on current knowledge. No one knows whether there will be cognitive errors in the process.

In addition, it has been nearly a hundred years since it was unearthed, and this already fragile cultural relic has not been properly cared for.

No one can say whether more serious problems will arise if the money is passed through the hands of several people.

"Did you hear that? You are just like a fool. You don't understand anything, but you dare to make comments casually."
