Chapter 464

"Does this thing look like a stone?"

"There are strange patterns on it."

"If it is a cultural relic from the Neolithic Age, it is very normal for it to be a stone."

Fang Yang didn't answer, just receiving the relevant information transmitted by the system.

【Hemudu culture double-bird facing the sun ivory carving, also known as Hemudu culture double-bird facing the sun ivory butterfly-shaped vessel】

【Length 16.6 cm, residual width 5.9 cm, thickness 1.2 cm】

【This is an artistic treasure among primitive ivory carvings】

……

When Fang Yang received the system message, the cultural relic experts here were still capable, and very quickly they discovered that this was not a stone.

"Does this look like ivory?"

"Did I see it wrong?"

"How could I see it wrong? The last cultural relic I studied just happened to be in this area."

"If this is really ivory, and it is an unearthed cultural relic from the ancient era, the value is high."

"Let's see what is carved on it. Maybe we can see some clues from it."

"In the middle, it seems to be a concentric circle, and what is carved on the outside looks like light. Could this be a sun pattern?"

"Maybe it's really as you said, this is a sun, and there are birds on both sides."

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1.

—"According to the cultural relics unearthed earlier, it can be completely judged from here that this is a cultural relic from five or six thousand years ago. Don't ask me what the basis is, it's purely a feeling."

—"The person above, wait for me. My feeling is the same as yours. Although I can't explain it specifically, my feeling is exactly the same as yours."

—"Such exquisite patterns and artistic shapes can be made. If you say there was no writing at that time, I won't believe it even if I die."

—"I think there must be writing, but there are very few people who understand writing and can use it, and once a war occurs, these writings disappear."

—"Some civilizations exist there, and it makes people see it at a glance. There is no need for others to prove anything."

—"That's right, that's it."

—"Actually, the experts don't say anything. Even the pictures I see, I can vaguely guess the meaning inside."

—"From here, it can be completely confirmed that the ancients indeed believed that the sun was held up by divine birds."

—"This is the real cultural relic, unlike those cultural relics dug up by Westerners, which are fake. Every time I see them dig up something, I always feel that they just stuffed it into the soil."

—"I feel that my eyes seem to be different from these people. Why do I think it doesn't look like a bird at all, but rather like a fish?"

—"Haha, the owner of this ivory, that is, that elephant, probably never dreamed that it would be so famous, although it is just a tooth."

—"I think the elephant shouldn't want such honor, it just wants its own teeth."

—"Haha."

……

While everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Fang Yang absorbed the content of the system and slowly opened his mouth.

"The name of this cultural relic is double-bird facing the sun ivory carving."

"Because there is no way to judge what it is used for, we simply name it according to its form."

The person who first unearthed the cultural relic is always the most qualified to name these cultural relics, and if it is appropriate, it can basically be determined.

Although in a sense, this naming seems to have nothing to do with Fang Yang, others don't know it at all.

"In addition to some patterns on its surface, there are a total of 6 small holes around it."

"Four on top and two on the bottom."

"The front looks very good and very attractive, but everyone should not ignore its back."

When Fang Yang said these words, the expert holding this cultural relic immediately followed Fang Yang's painting and turned the back over, also letting everyone clearly see what the back looked like.

The back was very rough, and there were even some protrusions around the perforation.

There were even very obvious grooves.

Fang Yang just took a few glances and then inferred: "The grooves on the back are likely used for tying ropes at that time."

"There is nothing to say about the back, so let's turn it back to the front."

After Fang Yang finished this sentence, the expert cooperated very well and turned the back over, directly turning it to the front.

"This pattern looks like a bird, and it also looks like a phoenix. Of course, I just saw someone say it looks like a fish."

"In fact, if combined with some situations at that time, this is actually very similar to the image of chickens raised by the Hemudu people at that time."

"By the way, did I not say that we seem to have unearthed a new culture, the Hemudu culture."

Under the circumstances of others' doubts and incomprehension, Fang Yang was already used to others having such eyes, and was not affected by these eyes, just smiled and said: "Of course, you can not believe it, but you will understand in the future."

The slap in the face came late but arrived.

Although some things have not appeared now, these are just a matter of time.

After Fang Yang finished these words, he turned his gaze back to the cultural relic.

299. The pioneering work of bird culture, inheriting from the past to the present!

"Fang Yang, what you said is absolutely true. I believe you."

Ouyang Fei'er looked at Fang Yang with admiration on the side.

Fang Yang was slightly stunned by what the other party said.

He originally wanted to say something, but he forgot it in an instant?

He stared at Ouyang Fei'er's beautiful face, hesitated for a while, and said in a very calm tone: "Thank you."

After speaking, Fang Yang's gaze moved away from Ouyang Fei'er's face and fell back on the cultural relic.

"In the culture of our Huaxia nation, there have always been sayings and consciousnesses like double phoenixes facing the sun and phoenix nirvana. Linking it with some cultural relics we have unearthed, such as bronze ware, pottery, and porcelain, those related to birds always have another kind of greater significance and value."

"It can be regarded as the pioneering work of bird culture."

"The Hemudu people would use ivory to make utensils, which shows that they are very good at the performance of two different situations: reasonable use of resources and unreasonable use of resources."

"Why say so?"

"Ivory means that the Hemudu people did not waste it when dealing with animals at that time, but reasonably made it into tools. I believe that in the later period, other things made by other animals will be discovered."

"The Hemudu people are really amazing. They made the best use of everything and made the best use of waste."

……

—"I had some doubts before, but after Fang Yang said this, I suddenly felt that I believed that there would really be Hemudu people."

—"When were the words Fang Yang said fake? Even if the things he said were sometimes very exaggerated, weren't they all confirmed later that these were actually true?"

—"Just like the Hongshan culture introduced before, everyone didn't believe what Fang Yang said, but on that night, their faces were slapped directly, and they were slapped very swollen."

—"That's right, there was a little bit of doubt before, but later it was completely confirmed that those were true."

—"Can Fang Yang tell us about ivory? Although I have always known that ivory is very valuable, what kind of existence was it in ancient times? I am really curious about this aspect."

……

Fang Yang saw all the questions without any omission.

Regarding the elephant, he really knew a little bit.

"In Huaxia civilization, 'elephant' and 'auspicious' are homophones, so ivory is naturally endowed with the meaning of auspiciousness, warding off evil, calming the spirit, and suppressing the house."

"The texture of ivory is as smooth as jade."

"The texture is delicate and regular, and it is easy to be carved by a knife."

"It is precisely because of this that various round carvings, hollow carvings, and other crafts can be better used."

"The earliest ivory carving in Huaxia can be traced back to the Hemudu culture double-bird facing phoenix ivory butterfly-shaped vessel, which is the cultural relic in our hands now."

"Now ivory has been banned."

"But mammoth ivory has become a substitute."

"In the permafrost environment of Siberia, the cold keeps it in its original state, and this material is actually more suitable for carving than ivory."

"It seems a little off-topic to say this."

Fang Yang paused, found that he had talked about modern times as soon as he spoke, was silent for a moment, and then quickly turned the topic back: "In prehistoric times, Huaxia also had the habit of using scepters, and ivory scepters were even related to Dayu's flood control."

"Whether from ancient times to modern times, it is very precious."

"However, no matter whether the carved things are precious or not, the most important thing for us is the significance behind the historical cultural relics. Because the era is too long, it can only show that this cultural relic should represent the worship of the sun by the Hemudu people at that time."

"It can be said to be a belief."

When Fang Yang said this, he looked at the time, and he intended to end this topic directly.

Ouyang Fei'er kept listening to what Fang Yang said with flashing eyes. ===== CHAPTER 465 =====
