Ancient times are the beautiful historical era of China, then the ancient treasures are the treasures of China, and the so-called antiques are the precious and memorable things left by people who experienced the historical wind and frost in ancient times. Now with the development of the market, not only to meet people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are "vegetable markets" and "shopping malls", but also to meet people's spiritual and cultural pursuits, the emergence of "antique market".
The original antique market was a place to "find a friend" and a place for conversation between "masters" and "masters", but in the process of interest, the "antique market" gradually changed its original appearance, from the initial "you love me" to the current "pit and abduction" market. Why has the "antique market" changed? How has it become now? Let me take you to explore.
I. "Antiques" that keep up with the times
Nowadays, many antique markets are rampant with fakes, not only the price is shouted high, but even the antique objects are randomly made. New people said that they "can't afford to play", and even "antique veterans" will accidentally catch the road in the midst of a variety of eyes. Among them, there are buyers who almost got on the road in the "antique market".
One day, Mr. Zhang in the antique market took a fancy to a treasure, with its inquiry price, raise his hand and open his mouth to come "This is the ancestor of so-and-so dynasty, today to see that you and he have a relationship, sell you more than 30,000 bar", the result of the uncle next to him found the clue, told Mr. Zhang that the style of this antique is a modern appearance, and exposed the seller's ugly face on the spot. Nowadays, the "antique market" makes people around them sigh that "now there is no skill, only modern garbage."
II. "Antiques with Thorns"
Some merchants, counterfeiting has no conscience, and even more people in order to save costs, the use of mercury and other toxic substances to make antiques. For example, silver coin counterfeiting will use mercury, the name is to protect the vicissitudes of history, as everyone knows, this is to give people chronic poisoning, loss of morality.
Not only are silver coins poisonous, but even the jade with the most objects in the antique market is "prickly". The hometown of jade comes from Nanyang, Henan and other places, here is not only the hometown, but also easy to counterfeit gathering point, because it is the hometown, so they know the shape of jade very well, plus the pigment and laser coloring, the cost of a jade bracelet is only a few dollars.
Profit drives people to counterfeit, but they never think about how much harm the pigments and lasers in them will cause to people for a long time. When you buy antiques in the future, especially the antiques worn on your body, you must see them clearly, otherwise you will buy toxic antiques and spend money to find guilt.
Third, wholesale production of "antiques"
Have you ever seen that antiques can be bought wholesale? Not only can you wholesale, but you can also find exactly the same or even free shipping on the Internet. At this time, people who are greedy and cheap are willing to spend less money to get more objects, but everyone knows that good goods are not cheap, and cheap goods are not good goods. Sometimes I buy it back and find it to be fake, but the merchant has disappeared, and there is no way to sell after-sales.
The most important thing is that, just like selling pirated CDs, some people can't afford it, and they are more willing to buy fake goods to pretend to face, and the market has lost its balance, resulting in everyone pursuing "fake goods" and giving up the meaning of "real goods". The so-called antiques are rare items treasured in ancient times, if every family has one, then the antiques have lost their meaning and lost their luster, just as the so-called things are rare and expensive, how can antiques be wholesale.
Fourth, the quality of the "antiques"
Some of the antiques look like they were freshly unearthed, but I didn't expect that they were actually made of soil. For example, the stone sculpture in the picture below, although it looks dirty, and then appears in front of you with a "dirty" image of a migrant worker, telling you that this is unearthed by a certain dynasty, in fact, this is the routine of many "sellers". In this way, the surface of the antique is dirty, which not only makes people have a sense of age, but also makes people unable to distinguish the true and false, which is really a "killing two birds with one stone" strategy.
Ancient paintings are the favorite treasures of many collectors, which not only improve their own value, reflect their own taste, but also can be enjoyed at home. However, some ancient paintings are made by the sellers themselves, and the workmanship is extremely rough, and even made up. Among them, I have to mention "Three British Battle Lü Bu", everyone knows that there were no cars in ancient times at that time, and the result was painted as a three-good man driving away from Lü Bu with a landlord, which was really laughable.
Summary: Antiques are actually a cultural value, just like everyone has different points, everyone has a different story, and antiques are also like this, and the meaning of their existence is to tell you the story of it with its differences, to achieve a mood that can only be understood and ineffable. However, now the rampant counterfeiting everywhere makes the real antiques become "landless". Finally, I hope that everyone will polish their eyes and not be deceived by people with hearts.
