Analysis of Hu-Han War Portrait Bricks and Architectural Art Characteristics in Nanyang

Abstract

To dig deeper into the archaeological value of the Hu-Han War portrait bricks in Nanyang, this paper takes the Hu-Han War portrait bricks in Nanyang as the research object. It analyzes the hollowing, modelling and materials of the portrait bricks. Firstly, with the help of a portable high-definition microscope (Sanyo, Japan), the Hu-Han War portrait bricks' texture, direction and depth were analyzed. Then, with the help of the thin film pressure tester model 602 (Sanqiang, Guangdong), the bearing capacity of the portrait brick was tested. Finally, the artistic characteristics and stress of the portrait brick are summarized, and the architectural art characteristics are summarized. The results showed that the composition of the Nanyang Hu-Han War portrait bricks was kaolin, clay, etc., but the bricks had fewer voids and a compact texture. The direction of the hollow seal carving of the portrait brick is from both sides to the middle of the seal, and the depth of the seal carving is 1~2cm. The stress points of the portrait brick are the two sides and the centre, showing the characteristics of three points and one line. Therefore, the material of Nanyang Hu-Han War portrait bricks is tight, and the support points are reasonable, which can support modern architectural art.
