Old collectors believe that you can't take everything to collect, ancient metal, jade cultural relics have some value, porcelain must be before the Song Dynasty to have collection value. A sign of a person's maturity is to know how to give up short-term happiness and focus time and energy on things that make them more valuable. Bai Yansong once said that a person's ability to make money is related to his scarcity and irreplaceability, the more scarce and irreplaceable you are, then the stronger your ability to make money will be. The same is true for collections, which must be made of unique, rare and precious rare things in order to increase in value and preserve value. It is best to determine the goal first, and then list the methods needed to achieve this goal, so that the direction of your vision collection will become more and more clear.
Antique collection faces people of different levels, and keeping silent is the wisest choice. The best way to speak is to talk less, do more, and be professional in a down-to-earth manner. Don't care too much about what others think, and don't get depressed because others don't understand and some not so objective evaluations. Antique collectors have the freedom to think and speak, what others think, we can't control, what others do, we can't force it, the only thing we can do is to do our best to do our own thing and go our own way. There is no need to waste our precious time with people who don't know people, who don't know goods. The proliferation of fakes has caused most people who dare to collect without studying to spend a lot of money on collecting, buying a lot of new jobs, or laymen are reluctant to admit this fact.
Old collectors look at those things, new and old as long as they look at it from a distance, do not have to look left and right to take a magnifying glass to look at it. If a person does not have a professional vision, it is difficult to become a true collector. Experts are one to look at the era logo, the second is to see the overall aging state, and the third is to believe in scientific instrument detection. Most items do not need to be inspected by an instrument. For example, the counterfeit bronze and ancient jade ancient porcelain, the oxide layer and special ornamentation of the bronze before the Warring States and the traces of the special bead process cannot be copied and imitated. The ancients carved jade with their hearts, and the knife marks of ancient jade could not be imitated, and what the ancients used to carve now do not know. Imitating its shape, it cannot imitate the inner craft charm. Counterfeit things are basically fake at a glance, and they can't be true, and the family can see it at a glance.
In the past many years, cultural relics and antiques had value in the hands of the state, but had no value in the hands of individuals, because there was no formal market for cultural relics and antiques in China. Confused selling, confused buying, no statutory supervision or appraisal and valuation agencies, cultural relics without legal labels, the authenticity of items and the lack of correct understanding of the value of goods, and the lack of attention and recognition of social cultural relics collected by the people, which leads to no development.
Cultural relics inherit ancient information, and now the country has begun to attach importance to traditional culture, began to revitalize culture, cultural power plugged in the wings of culture, closely connected with the younger generations, into the sense of historical identity, it is necessary to do very right, very good for the country and the people. At the same time, it will also make the value of antiques slowly appear, and real antiques will always have value in the future. The question is how to ensure it, how to identify it? It is the most critical problem that should be solved. Chinese today's traditional industries of Confucius fever, Lao Tzu fever, chanting fever, calligraphy and painting fever, tea ceremony fever, old house fever, cultural relics fever, collection fever, Chinese medicine fever, etc., all reflect the revival of traditional Chinese culture, which is a good thing. To be able to influence the world, we must first have the card of cultural self-confidence, cultural self-confidence, and cannot be separated from the excellent ancient artworks of our nation for thousands of years. Let the social relics and artworks come alive! Let banks, insurance, funds and other national financial institutions participate in the protection and utilization of cultural relics and artworks; I believe that the collection industry will get better and better in the near future, and private collectors who are national treasures should also be rewarded in the future! The national treasures of the people are like the great ocean, and the national treasures of China are hundreds of millions of pieces, and that country can be better than greater China. Rational use can truly promote the development of Chinese culture.
