Evaluation and analysis of traditional experience;

The so-called traditional experience appraisal refers to the behavior process of appraisers in the long-term antique appraisal practice, based on personal accumulated experience, through the sensory organs such as eyes, hands, ears and nose. Including "six looks", that is, looking at tires, looking at glaze, looking at pigments, looking at shapes, looking at patterns and looking at money. Therefore, the traditional experience appraisal is commonly called "ophthalmology" and "eye appraisal".

As a humanities and social science, traditional empirical appraisal is based on typology, using parallel analogy and textual research to find out the similarities and differences between the appraised object and the so-called "standard object" in shape, glaze color, decoration and style, so as to infer the authenticity of the appraised object, which is a qualitative judgment appraisal method.
