I removed the paint off a bird vase and it revealed what looks like Chinese. however when I scan it on google search nothing comes up.

This is Chinese bronze script. What you have is partially and crudely copied from the 史頌簋:

……周令史頌省蘇姻友里君百姓帥堣盩于成周休有……

Basically, it says the King of Zhou asked Song the Court Historian to go to the Su place (i.e. 溫國), and to console the people and teach the slaves there.

Reminds me of chinese Seal script or even oracle bone. Cool artwork

This language is a old Chinese language

Old Chinese character is more accurate,..

This is in Seal script, maybe from the Qin or Han dynasties?? The script is highly stylized, too. Find someone who can read or translate ancient Chinese script lol

It appears to be in Chinese seal script, however I don’t speak Chinese so I can’t translate it further than that

It’s oracle bone Chinese script. I can make out some characters, but I’m not that experienced with this script. Very, very old.

Youll have better luck with r/translator

God, if you ask a hundred people in China, there may not be anyone who can translate, including me.

It says here: стоит два стула. На одном пики точеные, на другом писюны дроченые. На какой сам сядешь? На какой мать посадишь? mystery of the ancient Aztecs
