When Lin Han saw their expressions, he had already guessed what was going on, so he was not very surprised.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, he couldn't help but ask again: "Why? You really don't understand, then why don't you let me explain it to you."

After saying this, Lin Han picked up the documents on the table and explained them in detail to Boss Zhou and Boss Liu.

"Relief art is the most famous art in the Southern Dynasties. During that period, there was a most famous idiom that specifically talked about relief art."

"That is the famous 'painting the dragon's eyes', which is an idiom story based on the story of Zhang Sengyou, a painter during the Liang Wu Emperor period in the Southern Dynasties, painting a dragon in the main hall of Anle Temple in Jinling."

"It demonstrates the superb painting techniques of painters during the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties."

“The paintings of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties had a profound influence on later paintings.”

"However, very few paintings have survived to this day, and people can only explore them from documents. However, the brick paintings unearthed in Deng County, Henan Province, have opened a window for us to peek into the paintings of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties."

"This tomb has 34 brick portraits with different contents unearthed."

"There are bricks depicting the tomb owner's travels, mainly depicting ox carts, warriors, slaves, and dancers; bricks depicting stories of filial piety, which were more common during the Northern and Southern Dynasties; and bricks depicting religious beliefs, mainly depicting rare animals, gods, Buddhism, Taoism, etc."

"These portrait bricks not only vividly reproduce the social life scenes of the time, but also show us the beauty of the dynamic lines in ancient Chinese painting art."

"Do you understand now?"

Lin Han flipped through the first page of the document and explained to Boss Zhou and Boss Liu.

The document on the first page did not specifically talk about the phoenix portrait bricks, but instead explained the relief art of the Southern Dynasties period to Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou.

The most famous heritage of relief art at that time was the art of adding the finishing touch, which has been passed down through the ages.

Although this art form is not exactly the same as the phoenix portrait bricks, they are both relief art.

"Why, you still don't understand now, then I'll explain it to you in more detail."

“Lines are the main language used in Chinese painting and the soul of Chinese painting art.”

"During the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, many famous artists' works were presented through lines with rich expressiveness."

"They not only use lines to outline the main body of the painting, but also use lines to depict the facial features of the characters, use lines to depict landscapes and buildings, and use lines to express the folds of clothing."

"Gu Kaizhi's lines are "tightly connected, looping and erratic", while Lu Tanwei's lines are "sharp and vigorous, like a chisel."

"Zhang Sengyou's lines, 'dots, strokes, and strokes', are all expressions of the superb use of lines by different painters during this period."

“These are all manifestations of relief art and line art, and these are the well-known artworks that carry these crafts forward.”

"Whether it is line art or relief art, what matters is the charm, which is what can truly reflect the true meaning of these works of art."

Lin Han continued to explain the contents of the document.

However, Boss Liu and Boss Zhou were still stunned after hearing this.

They could hear some things, but they just didn't understand them clearly.

It seemed that what Lin Han said made a lot of sense, but it was not particularly clear.

"The phoenix-shaped brick in Mr. Zhou's hand has some similarities with the phoenix-shaped bricks from the Southern Dynasties."

"However, you did not find a serious problem. You just focused all your attention on the relief art."

“Instead of focusing on the lines, the lines are the true essence of the art of sculpture.”

"However, the phoenix bricks do not reflect the close connection of lines, the looping and the sharpness of the strokes, like a chisel."

"These are all forms of expression of lines, but the phoenix portrait bricks do not reflect them. They only show the vigor and strength of the lines, but do not show the essence at all."

"Of course, the art of phoenix bricks is not only reflected in this place."

"To put it simply, the phoenix portrait bricks neither embody the essence of line carving nor the true meaning of relief art."

“Even the relief art on this brick does not truly reflect the true meaning of relief art.”

"The relief art on the phoenix portrait brick should be able to reflect the charm of the phoenix's body, not just the charm of the surface."

"Although these two sentences sound similar, Boss Liu, I think you should understand what I mean, right?"

After Lin Han elaborated on the contents of the document, he explained it to Boss Liu and Boss Zhou.

What Lin Han said was not difficult to understand. The phoenix-image brick in Boss Zhou's hand did have certain similarities with the phoenix-image bricks from the Southern Dynasties.

However, that phoenix-image brick is not a real phoenix-image brick from the Southern Dynasties period.

The real phoenix portrait brick should be a combination of relief art and line art, with both arts reaching their peak.

However, the phoenix-image brick in Mr. Zhou's hand does not reflect the art of line carving, but only highlights the relief art that appears on the surface.

Indeed, from a visual perspective, relief art is more likely to attract people's attention.

However, without the contrast of line art, the relief art would not be able to appear lifelike.

Counterfeiting only highlights the surface, making it easy for people to mistakenly think that it is the real thing, but many things cannot be judged by the surface alone.

In addition, the phoenix portrait brick in Boss Zhou's hand did not bring out the relief art to its fullest extent.

The phoenix portrait brick should fully display the relief, rather than just appearing on the surface.

The phoenix on the phoenix portrait brick only looks quite charming on the surface, but it does not reflect his true charm.

In addition, on the phoenix portrait brick in Boss Zhou's hand, only that phoenix has relief art.

The real phoenix picture bricks of the Southern Dynasties do not have relief art in just one place, but can be found in many places.

Combining various pieces of evidence, it can be shown that Mr. Zhou's phoenix-image brick is not a genuine object from the Southern Dynasties period.

Of course, if there were no such documents, it would be normal for Boss Liu not to be able to see these detailed problems.

After all, relief and line art cannot be observed with the naked eye alone.

Of course, Lin Han has golden eyes, so he is naturally more discerning than ordinary people.

It's not particularly surprising to see these problems.

Originally, Lin Han didn't want to make a fuss about this matter and just wanted to get it over with.

But who would have known that Boss Liu and Boss Zhou would insist on coming over and talking non-stop.
