When I have gone through 42 years of life journey, and when I have 26 years of collecting history, I understand, recognize and think that such things as "collecting" must be worry-free, and will not seriously affect study, work, Under the premise of life and family, and has been able to greatly meet the material civilization, the need for spiritual civilization to support and fill the time, at this time you and I can do it with peace of mind, if you and I are going to work hard back and forth for three meals a day all day long, not only can not do a good collection, but also can not do a good collection, even if you do it hard, it will end in failure.
It refers to "collecting", "preserving" and "preserving", not only in the continuous accumulation of wealth in the collection, but also in the continuous reserve and update of all kinds of collection knowledge in a new process, it requires enthusiasts to pay a lot of time, energy, money and efforts!
Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, said: "I am thin and precious and thicker than books, light on death and life more important than paintings." "With my 26 years of collecting history and collecting experience, I understand and think that no matter what kind of collectibles you collect, it takes a lot of attention from collectors. However, when spending on the mental aspect, we should try our best to do the 12-word policy, namely: "calm down", "calm" and "calm", if you can't do this 12-word policy, it's best not to play with the collections, if you have to play, it is also not good to play with the collections, when playing with all kinds of collectibles, the mentality is the first priority, if you lack a good attitude, it will definitely not work!
I also want to say a word, this sentence is - from ancient times to the present, Chinese people have always believed in the culture of "no rules, no circle", and to do any kind of human and cultural conditions, in every industry, all need all kinds of rules and norms to support and support. If you say that "there are always no rules", or "there is always no certain standard", the final result is that there is no need to say more about something, and it will eventually become nothing, especially once the collector enters the field of collecting, the same is true, and there will be all kinds of rules everywhere.
Not only are you playing with all kinds of collectibles, but you are also a lover of collecting, and you will more or less play some of your own fame. There are also all kinds of enthusiasts who indulge in collecting, so that "it is difficult to sleep and eat" and "difficult to give up", which is also a common thing.
In terms of my 26 years of collecting history and collecting experience, I understand, recognize and think that no matter what kind of social class an individual or group of people is in, in the whole process of collecting, you have to make some rules and requirements for yourself, if you say that it is difficult for you to do, it is also a person who has no self-control, it is best not to do it, even if you do it hard, it is equivalent to doing it in vain, and it is not good to collect. That is, to achieve the following three basic requirements, one is: to engage in collection to do in moderation, can not affect study, work, life and family, not to indulge in the process of self-extrication; the second is: to see more and buy less, to learn more, to consult those experts with a real level; the third is: can only take out a part of the annual income to invest in the collection, for example: only take a quarter of the annual income to invest in the collection, the above bottom line can not be broken!
Each industry has its own characteristics and rules in the industry, and the same is true in the field of collecting, and there are also various rules, which contain all kinds of "jargon" and "professional terms", that is, what we call various incisions. There are also various hidden words in various "jargon" and "technical terms". If you like to play collecting, you must understand it, otherwise you can't collect it.
One of them is: in the collection of toys, there is a professional term called "antique", and it has many other names, such as: "cultural relics", "antiques", "treasures", "treasures" and so on. It is a cultural relic material left (left) from ancient times, and it also includes "heirlooms" and "underground excavated items". Unanimously regarded by experts and scholars as "the epitome of human civilization and history", it also integrates various comprehensive knowledge such as "history", "local history", "gold and stone", "naturalism", "identification" and "history of science and technology", which is extremely rich in connotation.
The Ming Dynasty opera and writer Tang Xianzu wrote a lot of operas (dramas), including "The Peony Pavilion", the word "eye" first came from the "Peony Pavilion", and he said in "The Peony Pavilion: Shocking Changes": "What is the ruthless and short fortune of the mound, and how many gold beads are buried in the eyes." Nowadays, there are three interpretations of "drilling": (1): drilling holes, punching (holes) on the wall or a certain object; (2): to attract the attention of some people, a certain person wears a relatively good-looking clothes, which arouses everyone's appreciation and attention; (3): It refers to being deceived and deceived, because when collecting all kinds of collectibles, he does not see some faults and is deceived, collects all kinds of fake collectibles, or uses high prices to collect low-priced collectibles.
In the collecting industry, the word "eye-catching" specifically refers to "being deceived", and in my opinion, there are two other groups of words that also refer to being deceived. The first group of words is "I am drugged today" or "I am drugged today", and the second group of words is "I was slashed (slashed)". I am a native of Shanghai, in my city, as long as an individual is deceived and deceived, he will say a word, saying: "I am now in Yilaodang!"
What type of individuals or groups of people are the easiest to be eye-catching? Even if there is a real level of great experts in a certain field of collectibles, a small negligence at some point will still be noticed!
I will always have such a point of view, as long as I am a collector, I have never given up the idea of playing with all kinds of collectibles, and I am naturally going to experience things like "eye-catching" in the whole process of engaging in various collectibles.
Some collectors, in the whole process of collecting, relatively speaking, things like "eye-catching" will come less, the main reason is three. One is: because such a kind of individuals or groups of people, will be good at summarizing the gains and losses in the collection, will avoid similar incidents, the second is: this kind of individuals or groups, in the whole process of collecting, will become cautious, but where they are not sure of a certain type of collection, they will not start collecting, and only after they have full certainty, will they start collecting; the third is: as much as possible, to do more to see more and learn more, less to buy collectibles.
There are also some collectors, in the whole process of collecting, relatively speaking, such as "eye-catching" will come more, at the same time, individuals or groups of people, the collection of various fake types of collectibles, will also come more, the main reason in my opinion is also three. One is that such an individual or group of people, in the whole process of engaging in all kinds of collections, is not very good at summarizing some gains and losses on the road of collecting, and the ways and methods of learning are also wrong and wrong; the second is: deep down in their own hearts, there will still be blind confidence and optimism, and they will not stop collecting all kinds of collections, thinking that there will always be a collection that is right and good; and third, as long as an individual or group of people does not have a certain type of collection, they will buy it home.
I have 26 years of collecting experience and history so far, and I also experienced this thing in the early stages, when I was playing with various collectibles.
For example, the first hobby is philately and collecting commemorative coins in general circulation, the earliest time was in 1993, and after five or six years, I also bought all kinds of philatelic books during this time period, learned a lot of philatelic knowledge, and confidently thought that I still have a little level of philately, there is no problem.
However, this is not the case, I am very far from the level of collection and collection knowledge, why do I say this about myself?!It is because I have been beaten when I bought the collection stamp T129 Chinese orchid souvenir sheet, like this set of souvenir sheets, its name is: T129M, its creator (designer) is: Gong Wenzhen, the edition is: photocopy, the number of teeth is: 11.5×11, and the size of the souvenir sheet is: 120mm×85mm;The size of the stamps is: 60mm×40mm; face value: 2 yuan; its circulation: 4,665,000 pieces; its printing house: Beijing Stamp Factory; its issue date: December 25, 1988; although the stamps purchased at that time are true, because of a long time and after a long time, the souvenir sheet is slightly yellowed on the four sides of the souvenir sheet because of improper protection methods, and if it is allowed to develop, it will become more unfavorable to the preservation of stamps, the stamp dealer is only to avoid damage to the supple sheet again, it was artificially cut off 1 mm, and I bought not only one, I have to collect two, both sauvenir sheets are all the sameI only found out afterwards, and I knew that it would be more difficult to sell the stamps in question......
I bought it at the time for 90 RMB, and the price of each souvenir sheet was 45 RMB. So, how did I solve these two souvenir sheets? I only know that they were recovered by a postal dealer nicknamed "Bus Lao Xu" according to the purchase price, and I don't know the specific name. [Note: He worked for a bus company before he retired, and after his retirement, he started trading stamps.] 】
The third is that when a group of people are looking at a certain type of collectible together, some of them say in unison, "This is definitely a good collection that 'opens the door'!" ...... The word "open the door" is a technical term in the field of collecting. It is said that the word "open the door" is derived from the idiom "open the door", which mainly describes the genuine product that has no objection, the age is in place, and the unique information and characteristics of a certain era are all available, and it can be known at a glance. Sometimes they will say "open the door", "one eye" and "one eye".
Fourth, what is the "thief light"? That is to say, in the field of collection, but on the surface (layer) of all kinds of collections, there will be a layer of more dazzling light (Ze), like such a kind of light (Ze) can be called "thief light", in addition to the above statement, there is another way of saying is also called "firelight"! For example, it is often some new collections, such as new porcelain glaze, will produce a dazzling "thief light".
Fifth, in the field of collecting, there is a professional term called "pulp". So, what is "pulp"?! To tell the truth, this is actually a kind of indescribable thing, which simply means: in all kinds of collections, there will be all kinds of "different shades", "natural warmth" and "pleasing to the eye" of the touch. The main reason for the formation of "pulp" is that it can only be obtained after people have been playing, stroking and rubbing for a long time, and it is also one of the main means to identify the new and old utensils.
For words like "pulp", it also has three other names, which are also called "shells", "treasure pulp" and "preserving pulp" by those who are collecting enthusiasts. These three words cannot be found or explained in various "dictionaries" and "dictionaries", and they are unique products in the collecting world and are summarized by collectors.
In addition to the main statements mentioned above, there are other ways and methods that will also produce slurry. For example, there are: "Flooded and buried"; Some high-grade wood, because of the age of a long time, the oil and grease have leaked outward, coupled with all kinds of dust flowing and blowing in the air, as well as the sweat stains left by the human touch, after layer by layer, will gradually form the surface of this layer of "light and shining pulp".
According to my study and consultation with various collectors and experts in collecting, I learned that the cognition of "pulp" needs to be practiced for a long time, not only will there be different pulp between different collections, but also different people will have their own unique understanding and experience of pulp.
There are also - "any type of collectible is coated with pulp", some are more obvious and easy to identify, some are not so obvious and difficult to identify, and some are almost the same as each other through comparison and comparison, almost not much difference. For example, the collections of "calligraphy and painting", "stele tuo", "paper" and "juan" belong to the less obvious ones, and it is more difficult to identify its pulp, such as all kinds of wood, all kinds of jade and all kinds of bronzes and other collections, it is more obvious, relatively speaking, it is easy to identify the pulp.
It is because I have 26 years of collection history and collection experience, I still understand, recognize and think that there are some collections, why it will become the "darling" and "hot goods" in the collection market, not temporarily become the "darling" and "hot goods" in the field of collections, and have become the "darlings" and "hot goods" in the field of collection for a long time. Note: The so-called "real and new" products refer to a certain type of collectible items that are "genuine", "fine", "new" and "very few in existence". It is also inseparable from a certain type of collection, which can carry the "unique pulp" that it can carry. As long as it belongs to a relatively good and open-door collection, and you can play with it for a long time, the pulp accumulated over the years will naturally increase in value without the need for collectors to say more or anything!
Once the collection "carries the pulp", it means that the collection itself must be "a certain age", this so-called age, is polished out bit by bit by the passing years, and the information it reveals is: to give people the feeling of seeming, not only with a gentle and elegant atmosphere of ripeness, but also with the atmosphere of the glow, but also without losing its introverted atmosphere, these three breaths are coexisting at the same time, it can really be described as slippery and familiar, it and the new collection shows the "dazzling and frivolous thief light" It's completely incomparable!
It is precisely because the collectors like the pulp, and are very fascinated by all kinds of collectibles with the pulp, so there are collectibles with fake pulp in the collectibles market, and the fake pulp is imitated no matter what method is used, even if it is very similar to the imitation of the real pulp, all of them are quick finished products driven by economic interests, which cannot withstand scrutiny and testing, and it is very likely that in a short period of time, all of them will fall off to reveal the original shape, and the pulp is floating on the surface of the collection, unlike the real pulp is embedded in the collection, and the collection is organically integrated into one。
At the end of the article, I would like to say such a passage, saying: "There are 'people's and things', 'rules' and 'professional terms' about collecting, if you want to give detailed examples to illustrate, to tell the story, in fact, there are still a lot, I am only a small part of them, according to my 26 years of collecting experience, and my own knowledge, I will continue to explain in detail in several articles in the future!" ......
[Remarks: (1): The article is the author's original; (2): All kinds of collectible pictures are from the Internet; (3): Thank you very much for the original pictures. 】
