How can ordinary collectors collect the authenticity of cultural relics and antiques?

How can I collect the real artifacts of cultural relics and antiques?

Compared to the genuine camp, the fake circle is much larger! People in the circle of fakes, the initial stage did not go well, or did not find the right teacher, worship the fake people as teachers; Or blindly believe in others, listen to "stories", see what to buy, and buy what to buy cheaply. Many people hold the speculative psychology of "picking up leaks", self-righteousness, blind self-confidence, hurry to get started, "a bottle is less than half a bottle", only want to pick up cheap in the stall, small auction house, think that you can buy "original shares", "floor price", but forget that "buy is not as good as selling fine", being "hit the eye" is inevitable!

People in the circle of fakes often do not know that they are all fakes in their hands, or even if they do, they pretend not to know, cover their ears and steal bells, and then try to sell them to others. How many fakes are there in society? After different statistical methods, it was concluded that more than 95% of the miscellaneous items of famous calligraphy and paintings and high-end official kiln porcelain that circulated in society were fakes. Relatively speaking, there are fewer fakes in the works of non-famous painters, post-Republic of China kiln porcelain, oil paintings, ancient books, and stamps.

Don't find this number scary, it's a harsh truth! Some high-ranking officials and large-scale families known as "collectors" have hundreds of antiques, and experts only need to look at a few from a distance, as long as a few are designated as "open door leave", the rest of the items actually do not have to look anymore! Because experience shows that as a collector, he can't even see such an obvious fake, indicating that his investment collection circle is a circle of fakes, and the possibility of having genuine goods in the home is almost zero!

People from the two camps of collecting real and fake cultural relics and antiques have a hard time communicating with each other! People in the real camp, who have insight into the inside of the market, look down on the people in the fake circle and are unwilling to deal with them; And people in the fake goods circle are often accustomed to blindly praising each other, boasting about themselves, and occasionally a knowledgeable person points out that their fakes do not like to listen, because they do not have enough knowledge and insight, they cannot see the difference between the real and the fake, and they cannot understand what the people in the real circle do. Nowadays, even discerning collectors no longer go to the stalls and private collections, because in the current environment of national investment in cultural relics and antiques, the probability of "picking up leaks" is too low! People in the genuine camp call people in the fake circle "national treasure gang" and "mallet", while people in the fake goods circle attack people in the real camp for "not really understanding", "representing interest groups", and "suppressing the people's Tibet".

Nowadays, more and more people understand the inside story, they begin to study seriously, cautiously enter the art investment market, the scale of the genuine camp is growing, more and more people buy things at famous auction houses, and the problem they face is naturally that fine products are difficult to find, and good prices are high! People in the circle of fake goods are still facing the problem that inventory is becoming more and more difficult to realize, the more mature the market, the more rational people are, the more difficult it is for fake goods to sell. However, the trend of collectors' eyes getting brighter and brighter is difficult to change, and the days of smashing fake cultural relics and antiques will be even more difficult!
