From the 1990s to around 2010, this was the golden age of Chinese antique collections. In recent years, those who should have made a fortune have become rich, and those who should have become famous have become famous, so has the antique industry really become what people call a "national collection"?
We only know that antique cultural relics have changed from cultural heritage to synonymous with "money", and folk collection has changed from "hiding treasures for the people" to being synonymous with "national treasure gang". As a result, a large number of pseudo-experts, pseudo-masters, national treasure gangs, counterfeiters, and fraud companies were born, and after the madness, only a chicken feather was left, and the antique collection fell to the altar.
And the players who are still insisting on it have become a generation of "wiping butts".
All the human farce in this world cannot escape the word "interests." It should have combined culture and economy to make antique collections really go to the public, which was the best era to guide formal standardization.
However, our "predecessors" only care about treasure hunting, only caring about collecting money, and only caring about eating the dividends quickly, no matter what the consequences are. They turned a blind eye to all market chaos, chose to ignore and protect themselves with Mingzhe, and ate dry and wiped clean and patted their butts and left.
As a result, crazy experts wander like ghosts in the major treasure hunting venues, even fraudulent auction companies, and still "friendly cooperation". Regular auction companies have laws as a shield, and have established a "defense line" with orderly inheritance, old collections of famous artists, and overseas returns, completely blocking the way out of folk antiques. The counterfeit base worked overtime to produce, turning the country's antique market into a craft market!
If people drink cold and warm water and know themselves, the only thing that has not changed in these years is those collectors who look down on everything and look at it coldly.
Unfortunately, true enthusiasts have to "wipe the butts" of their predecessors, which requires a lot of courage!
We must painstakingly persuade those Tibetan friends who have been "brainwashed" not to dream of getting rich overnight, and never to cooperate with companies that pay high upfront costs.
We must continue to expose the faces of some "old experts", from the moment you come out of the cultural and museum department, the so-called experts have become "money-making machines", and their "benevolent faces" are all inducing you to pay money.
We also have to risk being scolded to the bloody head of the dog, and advise those national treasure gangs who have gone crazy to stop making up history with stalls, and dare to say that they "picked up and leaked national treasures" without even recognizing all the words, and their hard-earned money has been cheated out by scammers!
Is it useful? To be honest, it is really of little use, and smart people will realize it after paying the tuition a few times, without reminding. But the person whose brain can't turn, no matter how you put your heart into it, he thinks you want to lie to him.
But we still have to insist, because the collection industry has greatly improved, the relaxation and encouragement of national policies, the convenience and opportunities in the Internet age, and the cultivation and improvement of the quality of Tibetan friends all indicate that this industry is being "purified".
But what is missing is that phrase: integrity and order.
The "demons" in the collection world who hide dirt and grime do not want to become clean at all, and the more chaotic the better, because they can take advantage of the chaos to make profits.
In this line, it is difficult to go out of a road alone, and those "groups" that pull the banner and pull the tiger's skin are very popular.
Celebrity effects, overhead halos, overseas "foreign adults" and even various "associations" that can be entered as long as you pay money, the louder the cowhide blows, the higher the auction price is shouted, the more it will gather a group of fans.
They suppress each other, cooperate with each other to lie, tacitly want to train new entrants into "leeks", cut as much as they want.
This is also very disdainful of collectors, a circle that should have paid attention to high cultural level, a circle that cleanly consulted and learned from each other, and progressed together. But it has become a place where "madmen, fools, and liars" gather in the eyes of laymen.
Today's folk collection group not only has old players who have entered the flower armor, but also more young and middle-aged people, such as lawyers, doctors, civil servants, businessmen, salaried people and even students. No matter which one, in the credit society, we are already very tired of some outdated "old rules" of antiques, and have deceitfully done to the extreme.
They hate the so-called high-end market even more for some of the "unspoken rules" in the light and dark. So it is still up to them to "perform", we collectors do not rush at this time, do not take out the money to fatten them, quietly learn, precipitate, practice good eyesight, so that the scammers can not cheat money, this market is naturally clean.
This is an era in which all beings are equal, and it is also an era that can make ordinary people shine, and there is no need for the "brick family wet" who is high up and pointing fingers, and there is no need for a black sheep that deceives people's hearts.
