Zhou Changnian once published four long articles entitled "Random Talk on Ticket Collection" in Hengshui Daily. With regard to the origin of the ticket, this paper introduces the process of its birth and evolution. Jeff in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Borrowing Doors in the Han Dynasty and Stickers in the Tang Dynasty all have the meaning of door tickets, which can be called the embryonic form of door tickets. The appearance of China's complete ticket can be traced back at least 300 years ago, in the 22nd year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1633). In the book "A New Record of Yuchu", Sun Jiacheng wrote in his "Journey to the South" that there is a Niangniang Temple at the top of the mountain. You take an official ticket, and then you buy it with two yuan. The "official ticket" here is an earlier official ticket written record.

In front of the booth of early tickets, you can see all kinds of round metal tickets that are the same as the current hard cents. Such as tickets for Beijing Tiantan Park, Beihai Park, park shanghai and Wuhan Zhongshan Park. Generally, these tickets can be reused many times. There are different opinions about the division of door-to-door ticket era. Zhou Changnian called the admission tickets before the "Cultural Revolution" early admission tickets, and collected more than 1000 tickets. Although the tickets in this period are not exquisite, they are very precious because of objective reasons and it is very difficult to collect them.

Among the early tickets collected by Zhou Changnian, there is a ticket that looks very inconspicuous. It is 42 meters long and 3 1 meter wide, with the words "Tickets for Phoenix Mountain Park in Tangshan, Wei Fen" printed on it, and the paper is also very poor. It turned out that this was Zhou Changzi's first ticket in September of 1965. That year, Zhou Changnian was admitted to Tangshan Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. As a farmer's child, he took the bus train for the first time, went to town for the first time and visited the park for the first time. Great changes, unforgettable. In addition, this ticket was bought by Zhou Changnian's classmates and friends, and he failed to pay back the money afterwards. Zhou Changnian carefully kept this ticket in the stamp album. A year later, the unprecedented "Cultural Revolution" began, and the nationwide "big series fever", "revolutionary holy land fever" and "revolutionary fever of suspension of classes" became higher and higher. Zhou was not disturbed by this, but with the help of classmates all over the country, he collected a large number of tickets during the Cultural Revolution.

Zhou Changnian's library and study "Qingzhuzhai" was inscribed by Mr. Yin Haijin, President of Hengshui Calligraphers Association. They are carved with mahogany and hung above the door.

When you step into the "Qingzhuzhai", you enter the world of collections. All kinds of collections are orderly, but many of them are not chaotic. Zhou Changnian's approach is to "support the main collection with two sets". Zhou Changnian mainly collects three kinds of tickets, world coins and ancient weights and measures, but he also collects more than ten pieces, such as ancient locks, ancient coins, philatelic products, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, Chairman Mao's badge, maps, cigarette labels, sparks, food stamps, commemorative coins and the first issue of periodicals and magazines. Generally, the main income has files, and the part-time income does not take much effort, which is mainly used to communicate and make friends. Zhou Changnian is now a member of the Asian Coin Association, which can be said to be a qualified member. He not only has a rich collection of books, but also published more than 10 related papers. An important reason for the large collection is the exchange. During the Cultural Revolution, when Chairman Mao went to Anyuan, the postmark was not allowed, in order to "defend the glorious image". This kind of real envelope has a high collection value. Zhou Changnian exchanged several such real envelopes for more than 500 world coins at a time.
