The art of the Chinese court throughout the ages is the convergence of thousands of years of social wealth in China. The art of successive dynasties is the crystallization of the wisdom and creation of Chinese people, and it is reasonable to collect and display, research and publicize it to benefit society. I have long heard that there is a collector in China who specializes in court art, Yan Guan, the owner of Zishilou, is focusing on promoting the financial innovation of cultural relics collection, and after the appointment, in Shenyang, which is known as the "birthplace of one dynasty and two generations of imperial cities", the author had the honor to visit him.

The identification of works of art has a very large impact on the value of the work of art itself. Cultural relics appraisal, since ancient times, has been said to be "ophthalmology", relying not only on eyesight, but also on rich knowledge and insight. Cultural relics appraisal is a work that uses traditional methods or modern science and technology to analyze and identify the authenticity, age, texture, use and value of cultural relics. In the previous identification of cultural relics, most connoisseurs only rely on the naked eye and experience to identify, its reliability has great limitations, there are many difficulties and it is difficult to form a persuasive force. Therefore, through years of intensive research, Mr. Yan Guan has created a set of internationally unique art identification methods - "Yan's Cultural Relics Holographic Scientific Comparison Method".
The "Yan's Holographic Scientific Comparison Method of Cultural Relics" has been applied tens of thousands of times to the identification of cultural relics and has been tried and tested, which can help connoisseurs who have mastered certain appraisal experience and basic knowledge to accurately judge the authenticity of ancient and modern artifacts and calligraphy and paintings. Theoretically, holographic photography is a new type of photographic technique that records all the information of the amplitude and bit phase of the reflected wave of the subject. Ordinary photography only records the distribution of light intensity on the surface of the object, and the photos taken lose the sense of three-dimensionality. A holographic photography image reflects a three-dimensional stereoscopic image of the subject, and even if only a small part of the photo is left, the scene can still be reproduced. Obviously, this feature of this technology can help experts to restore cultural relics to a large extent, and while promoting the development of the field of cultural relics restoration, it has also led to innovation in the field of cultural relics appreciation.

With the huge amount of money pouring into the art collection industry, the art collection industry is extremely hot, but also many problems in the industry have emerged. To this end, Teacher Yan Guan put forward the following views:
First of all, it is normal for folk collectors to have fakes, and collecting has a long learning process. State-owned museums exhibiting fakes should not be. Spending taxpayers' money to buy fakes at astronomical prices and misleading the public with fakes is ugly, and not exposing them is harmful. The lack of truly knowledgeable experts and professionals in the system is the cause of the problems that lead to a large number of auction houses auctioning fakes (fraud in broad daylight) that are ignored, that no one can recognize the fakes exhibited in museums, that the cultural relics market is developing in disorder, and that the direction of investment in cultural industries is unclear.

Secondly, the publication of cultural relics is also very chaotic, and many versions of the history of Chinese ceramics have not been revised in time, and some outdated judgments have been followed from generation to generation, resulting in misleading. Of course, the historical merits of the older generation of cultural relics workers cannot be erased, and through their efforts, the development context of cultural relics in previous dynasties has been basically sorted out, but the expressions in some periods do not match the truth, and fallacies are circulated. It also needs to be noted that many people will bibliograph fakes, and publishing institutions have insufficient editing and review capabilities due to the special threshold in the field of cultural relics appreciation, and if they are not effectively controlled, the flood of publications will harm future generations. In fact, the development of third-party professional institutions can rely on social forces to solve problems, and of course, at the beginning of the beginning, it also needs the support and active guidance of the government and all social forces.
Third, the donation of exhibitions should be supported by the state, because it will promote cultural inheritance and enhance cultural influence. The specific donated collections involved should be strictly analyzed and screened, and it is strictly forbidden to mix in fakes. The attitude toward cultural relics should be rigorous and responsible for history. It is also necessary to vigorously develop third-party professional institutions and change the method of relying solely on museum approval. For the problem of fakes exhibited in museums, it is impossible to solve the problem of relying solely on the cultural relics system, and it must be sorted out and eliminated through third-party professional institutions in society.

In addition, in the past few years, dozens of private cultural exchanges in China have not been in the right direction, the control is not in place, and the malicious manipulation of prices by bookmakers is a crime against the people, which is equivalent to allowing the opening of casinos. At the national level, an international stock exchange of cultural relics and art assets with a global nature should be established in some provinces and cities. Make cultural relics assets into a huge pool of funds for the country, stabilize inflation, guide them to become one of the cornerstones of the country's currency, and enhance the global influence of Chinese civilization and national economic strength. Only when the national platform is operated (enterprise agency operations and government monitoring can be tried) can the exchange increase fiscal and tax revenues through taxes and transaction fees, and ultimately benefit the whole people. It is necessary to organize the internal and social professional forces within the system to integrate the scientific appraisal theories and evaluation standards for the exposition of cultural relics and artworks with the most scientific methods, and convene a national cultural exchange demonstration meeting to conduct extensive and in-depth demonstration when the conditions are ripe. It is hoped that a truly authoritative and impartial Stock Exchange of Chinese cultural relics and artworks will open as soon as possible.
Full of vitality and transformation, the workers are striving for the new day
The volume of today's Internet economy can be described as huge, and the cultural relics management with e-commerce as the platform needs to be echoed by the physical cultural relics display platform. The unique properties of cultural relics require real experience and understanding in the field. Internet marketing has brought new space for the inheritance and promotion of cultural relics, and it is entirely possible for China to create several top enterprises in the field of art in the world with a scale of 100 billion. For artists, a sound and transparent market also helps to make their works more universal, and the formation of third-party agencies also gives them more time to create with peace of mind. A sound market also avoids inflated hype.
In the future, Mr. Yan Guan will lead his company and team to create a multi-functional platform integrating appraisal and evaluation, exhibition, auction and research and training, and the platform will be supported by online and offline classified museums. This museum (or art museum) will collect the collections in the hands of tens of thousands of collectors across the country, so that everyone can click on the pictures through the Internet to see various collections, and can also go to different types and themes of physical museums for on-site insight, so that the public can feel the charm of traditional Chinese traditional and noble art and culture, and inherit and publicize Chinese cultural treasures.
