Why are things handed down from ancient times called "antiques"?
Antiques refer to rare items left by the ancients. In the past, the word "ancient" in antiques was the word "bone" in bones, but now the word "ancient" in ancient and modern times is used because of the homonym. Later, what we called "antiques" was handed down only in the Qing Dynasty. That's because antiques can be used as playthings, so there is such a saying. Antique Guide is a rather thick book, which is explained and studied through various classifications. Of course, this book is only a general introduction, not a very special statement for every item.
