The changes and insights of the antique industry in the past 40 years
Teacher Liu Xuexian has been engaged in the antique industry for 40 years, he recalled that the changes in the antique industry can be roughly divided into four stages, from the rise of the early reform and opening up, to the rise of major auctions in the country, the increasing prosperity and popularity of the antique market, and then to the rational return of the antique market in recent years. Today, although the market economy is declining, the antique industry still has strengths and confidence.

About "picking up leaks", you need to "know the rules" and be "more knowledgeable"
The three teachers jointly pointed out that in the antiques and collection market, there are all kinds of "jargon" and "rules" large and small, and if you don't understand these, it may be difficult to reach a deal and get a happy collection appreciation experience. For "picking up leaks", they also have the same view, that is, with professional knowledge, buying pleasant objects from the hands of people who do not understand, this is "picking up leaks", so "picking leaks" is to test the knowledge, experience and eyesight.
Teacher Liu Xuexian suggested that collectors and friends should achieve "five diligences", that is, hand diligence, mouth diligence, eye diligence, brain diligence, and leg diligence, enter the market practice and consult, because the market is the only criterion for testing authenticity and falsehood, and do not overly trust your subjective judgment.
"Remind everyone that it is best not to hold the mentality of picking up leaks, but pay more attention to the good platform, such as this collector forum organized by Artron, teaching you how to collect and identify the fake and the real, is a very practical feast, with the collection experience of professional teachers, to tell everyone how to collect," Teacher Zhu Kecheng sighed in the forum.
