What is playing hide and seek? What "plays" is things, and what "hides" is mentality.

As the saying goes, "the country is rich and the people are strong, and the wealth is hidden in the people", "gold in troubled times is collected in prosperous times". China's collection has experienced five peaks, namely Northern Song Dynasty, Late Ming Dynasty, Kanggan in Qing Dynasty, Late Qing Dynasty, Early Republic of China and today. Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of China's national economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the awareness of diversified investment has been increasingly enhanced, creating good conditions for people to engage in collection activities.

Hide without learning vulgarity, hide without learning stupidity, hide without learning virtue, hide without knowing beauty, hide without making friends with elegance, and hide without raising Tibet with wealth. People who don't pretend to know are ugly, those who try to be teachers are ugly, those who are jealous are bad, those who pretend to be advanced are mediocre, those who bully others are poisonous, and those who laugh are tall. Give an infatuation, find the love of your life, spend one or two ingots, and get the treasure of your life.

What is a collection?

Collection is an important act to inherit human civilization, promote cultural exchange and cultivate humanistic quality by preserving physical evidence. Collection, literally, includes three links: collecting information, searching for collections, and purchasing collections; Collection: including the preservation, custody, study and research of collections.

To sum up, collection includes three meanings:

Collection is a cultural phenomenon, and each collection carries rich historical and cultural information. China's history and culture can go back to ancient times and can be preserved to this day, thanks to the collection of countries and individuals in past dynasties, which gives future generations the opportunity to learn, study and inherit the excellent culture of the Chinese nation with a long history of 5,000 years. From this perspective, collection is indispensable for inheriting and developing China culture. Private collections are in the ascendant, and they complement museum collections in protecting and promoting Chinese traditional culture.

Collecting is an elegant hobby.

A person's hobbies are many, some are elegant, some are vulgar, and the style is not high. Collecting is a personal hobby with noble taste, which is conducive to cultivating people's noble character and physical and mental health; This is very beneficial to the construction of a harmonious society and the improvement of personal quality.

Collection is an investment and financial management behavior.

Collecting is not only a personal hobby, but also an investment and financial management behavior. Because all the collections, as well as commodities, have certain economic value and investment value, which will bring rich returns to investors.

The significance of collection

Collection is not only a kind of elegance and accomplishment, but also a means of investment and financial management. Increasing knowledge collection is a subject with various categories, rich contents and strong knowledge. Various collections bear rich historical and cultural information and have profound historical and cultural connotations. If you want to be a rational collector, you must study hard and master this knowledge in the process of collecting, so as to avoid detours and waste money. The process of collection is actually a process of continuous learning and accumulation of knowledge. The more you know about your collection, the richer your knowledge and the deeper your understanding, the more successful your collection will be.

It is hard and happy to enjoy the mood, cultivate sentiment and be beneficial to physical and mental health. When you collect a beloved thing, this joy is enjoyed for a long time, even for life. When you are immersed in the collection, you will enjoy endless fun, open your mind, make you forget your troubles, and your mind will become peaceful, indifferent to fame and fortune, and will not care too much about personal honor and disgrace. The process of collection is actually a process of emotional energy release of collectors, and it is also a process of spiritual purification. It is the nourishment of spirit and character, and it will glow with more unique and lasting charm.

It is a good leisure activity, which can enrich our life and is conducive to the harmonious collection of families. In our spare time, we either look for stones in the quicksand of the river beach, or "treasure hunt" in rural towns, or "gold rush" in antique markets, or learn from Tibetan friends, or learn from teachers, or enjoy tea and treasures alone. Wandering under the blue sky and white clouds, wandering in the ocean of art, the body and mind are greatly relaxed. When we devote ourselves to our favorite collections in our spare time, our hearts will be purified and we will be able to concentrate on anything. If husband and wife have the same interests and hobbies, and often study together, discuss with each other, look for each other and enjoy the "treasure", there will be endless topics and more and more * * * languages, and * * * will also enjoy the happiness and pleasure.

Collection is an investment with high rate of return. In the past, China paid more attention to its historical and cultural values, but ignored or downplayed its economic and investment values. Today's active market economy has given the collection a deeper and broader connotation. Some insiders assert that collectibles are not only a good investment variety, but also the third largest investment variety after real estate and stocks. Antiques and artworks with great economic value are one of the high-return investment projects. This kind of collection has relatively stable value because of its high artistry and non-renewable, and its economic value will also show an upward trend with the passage of time. Many domestic enterprise groups and individuals have rushed to the art market with foresight. Antique art collection, as an investment and financial management project, has been widely recognized by the society and the public.

How to collect it well

How to make a good collection is a topic that different people have different opinions. Personally, there are the following points for your reference.

Determine your own collection category according to your personal hobbies and the source of collections in your area. There are many kinds of collections, so how to choose the one that suits you? First, choose your favorite category to collect. The second is to choose the category that you have the most knowledge and know how to collect. This collection is easy to use. The third is to select categories from local sources and relatively rich collections for collection. This collection is easy to succeed.

Determine the positioning of the collection according to your own economic situation. Each kind of collection has a national treasure level, a collection level, a boutique, and a general level. The positioning is too high, and the road to collection cannot go on. A collection like a national treasure is not only once in a lifetime, but sometimes even if you happen to see one or two, it is sky-high and can't afford to go bankrupt. The positioning is too low, and filling a room is not worth much. Therefore, we should determine the positioning of the collection according to our own economic situation. But we must cultivate the awareness of fine products, and the best and fastest appreciation in the market will always be fine products.

There should be neither too many kinds nor too wide a range of collections. A person's energy is limited, and his financial resources are even more limited. If there are too many kinds of collections, it is impossible to study them in depth, and it is difficult to keep up with the funds collected. The categories of collections should be concentrated, so it is easy to produce results.

Start with learning and mastering relevant knowledge. The first thing to get started is to study, read more books, read more materials, read more objects, and learn more, read more, ask more questions, ponder more, and start slowly. When you have mastered the relevant knowledge, you will understand it before you buy it, so that you won't be fooled.

Find a good teacher to guide us. If we can have a teacher with vision, level and hidden morality to guide us and help us check the pass, we can ask questions in time when we encounter problems in the collection, which will make us take fewer detours. In the collection of knowledge learning, although there are many books for us to learn, but far less than the teacher's decades of experience and direct benefit. Especially in the early stage of collection, we should use the teacher's "eye" to improve ourselves and help us check.

Beginners should not "follow the picture". It is easy for Tibetan friends to make the mistake of "looking at the picture" and look for the collection according to the patterns in the book. In fact, the pictures in many books are not reliable, and some are even fake pictures. If we look for something according to a fake map, it must be fake. In addition, there is also a gap between pictures and objects. Nowadays, many imitations are based on pictures in books. The pictures are for our reference only, and cannot be used as a basis for distinguishing the true from the false. We must learn to make comprehensive analysis and research in many ways to determine its authenticity.

You can't accept it with a "missing" mentality. There is a word that is often heard in antique shops. "Picking up leaks" is the jargon in the collection field, which means that because the seller is ignorant and the buyer has a discerning eye, he buys valuable and precious collections at a very low price. The myth of "picking up leaks" has been enduring in China's collection circle, and almost everyone who has a hobby of collecting will relish his legendary experience of "picking up leaks". At the beginning of the collection, people still lacked understanding of antiques and works of art, and this opportunity can sometimes be encountered. Today, the chance is slim. With the mentality of "missing", it is very easy to be fooled by "taking medicine".

Don't rush for success. Beginners are highly motivated, often excited and eager to succeed. If some make a collection plan, how many books are collected a year, how many books are published, and so on. Collection is actually a long process of knowledge accumulation and collection accumulation. The fun of collecting is not how much you finally collect, but more about enjoying the process of collecting. Collection is about fate, and everything goes with fate. Eager for success, one is easy to be deceived, and the other is difficult to collect fine products.

Don't just listen to stories. There are many examples of being cheated in the collection now. Many people like to listen to "stories", and many antique dealers will make up many stories to lure you into being cheated. When we collect, we should not listen to these stories, but mainly look at things, trust our eyes and let the collection "speak" for itself. So you can avoid being cheated. In the collection, I would rather miss those specious, uncertain and doubtful things than buy them by mistake.

Seize the opportunity and take the initiative to collect, not only talk about fate, but also seize the opportunity. Sometimes, when you come across a rare and good collection in search, you can't make a quick decision, but hesitate to take it immediately. When you just put it down and someone else takes it away, you miss this collection, and maybe you will regret losing it all your life. For those good collections that can't be met, that is, the price is slightly higher than the market price at that time, we must also decisively win.

Collection is a kind of financial behavior, but don't treat collection as an investment. Now many propaganda and programs are misleading. As long as you collect, you can make money without losing money. In fact, this is impossible in real life. As an investment, the biggest problem of art is that it is difficult to realize, and the audience of antiques and art will always be a minority. When you need money badly, even the best antiques and works of art can't be cashed out. You must find someone you like, even if it is an auction, it takes time. First of all, you like your collection, so that you won't be flustered for how long your collection stays. In addition, family life should be arranged when collecting, and you can't collect with the money to support your family, so that you can take your time.

Mastering collection skills Collection is a discipline and a science. Paying attention to collection skills can make your collection achieve unexpected results. There are many skills in the collection, such as:

1. The collection should be forward-looking and forward-looking, so as to capture those collections with collection value in the future and enter the collection in advance. Regarding the collection of contemporary ceramics, I personally think that apart from the works of contemporary arts and crafts masters, the works of many people in the planned economy era, regardless of the cost of the works, are of great collection value.

2. Pay attention to the series collection. In the process of collection, we should consciously gather together to form a complete set. Once the collection can be assembled into a complete set, it is not a simple addition of the values of individual works.

3. Collect the most contemporary collections. The works of the same artist, those that embody the characteristics of the times, are much more valuable than other works. On the one hand, there are not many surviving works, on the other hand, they carry rich information of the times, which is a good material evidence for people to study that era.

4. Pay attention to collections with high artistic level. Many novice collectors think that the older the collection, the more valuable it is. In fact, the collection value of the collection is mainly reflected in its historical and cultural value, rarity and technological level. Although some ancient pottery has a history of thousands of years, its value is far lower than that of some exquisite porcelain in later generations.

5. Pay attention to the "potential stocks" in contemporary art collections. Pay attention to young and middle-aged artists who have artistic personality and development prospects. Their works are relatively low in price, low in collection threshold and good in growth, and they are "potential stocks" in the art market.

6. Learn to raise "Tibet" with "Tibet" to make the collection virtuous circle. Collecting is a very expensive thing, but it can still be done with less money. The trick is to learn to hide and constantly eliminate some general collections, so that you can not only withdraw funds for new collections, but also leave fine products through screening to improve the collection level.
