Mythical Card Creator: Myriad Ghosts Night Parade at the Start - Section 622

In his eyes, Lin Chen was clearly pretending to understand, deliberately putting on a profound act just to show off.

Lin Chen stopped what he was doing and lightly rubbed a special pattern on the ship's side with his fingers.

He turned to Shi Jin and replied directly:

"Mr. Shi, this is a bird ship, one of the four great ancient ship types of China."

"What? A bird ship?"

Shock flashed across Shi Jin's face. He had never expected Lin Chen to identify the type of this ancient vessel after merely taking a few glances in such a short time.

Shi Jin was somewhat suspicious. Could he have made this up on purpose because he couldn't stand my ridicule?

So he pressed further. "Mr. Lin, what did you base that judgment on?"

Lin Chen spoke with eloquence:

"The bow is pointed like a bird's beak. On the one hand, this makes it easier to break through the waves; on the other, it imitates a bird's beak.

"Because the fishermen of ancient Qiantang believed that birds had carried rice seeds here in their beaks, creating Qiantang's fertile land of fish and rice.

"Their worship of birds led them to name this ship type the 'bird ship.'

"So these bird ships were also specifically used to transport seafood and salt and rice.

"They symbolized birds carrying food to bestow abundance upon the people.

"The most distinctive feature is the green, curved ornament above the ship's eye.

"That is why it also had the alternate name 'Green Eyebrows.'"

Lin Chen's explanation won over most of the people present.

No one had expected someone so young to possess such extensive knowledge.

But Shi Jin continued questioning him.
