"If my guess is correct, this text hidden within the surface of the cauldron using such peculiar methods was intended to test the effectiveness of the forgery process. This fake Golden Tripod must have been examined by many appraisal experts, yet no one was able to uncover its secret; only then did the original owner dare to label it the Divine Dragon Sacred Cauldron and let it enter the collector’s market."
"At the same time, this is an expression of the forger's arrogance. He deliberately left this hidden loophole to provoke every master appraiser in the world, deriving a sense of pleasure from it. The less it could be detected, the more excited and stimulated he felt. It is a form of pathological obsession. Perhaps this Golden Tripod has changed hands many times, swindling countless collectors."

After all, seeing is believing—modern text had genuinely appeared inside the vessel.
