Qian Cheng nodded yes again and again, and said, "Well, what you said is extremely reasonable!" In the past, I was always angry: I didn't believe in this reasoning when I said that 'suffering is a blessing'. If you encounter a loss, you must fight for it. Later, I found out that it was not right, and there are benefits to suffering losses. As the saying goes, only when you suffer a loss can you know what is right and what is wrong. It also knows what to cherish and what to give up. ”

Old Man Shi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, that's it." You young man, you can see that you are still quite perceptive! ”

"Hehe, thank you for your compliment!" Qian Cheng said, and then put on a very studious look, saying: "Grandpa, you know: in fact, in the antique business, 'antique' is not called 'antique', it is called antique. How exactly should this be understood? Moreover, I have heard that if you want to do this business, you should watch more, learn more, and practice more. So what do I do? ”

Qian Cheng's question asked Old Man Shi's strengths. The old man immediately opened the conversation and said eloquently: "Antiques, also known as "cultural relics" and "bones", are regarded as the epitome of human civilization and history. It integrates the knowledge connotations of history, chronicles, epigraphy, naturalism, appraisal and history of science and technology. After the ups and downs of countless dynasties, the wind of Tibetan play is still undiminished, and even hotter. It's all about charm and fun. ”

All three of us nodded thoughtfully, and continued to listen to the old man's squirting as if it were real or fake.

The old man said: "Antiques are like an all-encompassing market, with a lot of things, a lot of things, a lot of miscellaneous things, and a lot of ways to play.

As the saying goes: 'cultural relics in prosperous times, hungry people in troubled times'. The country is prosperous, the people have enough food and clothing, and there is a market for antiques. The country is depressed and chaotic, the common people have no food and clothing, and no one has the leisure to engage in antiques. The collection and appreciation of antiques is an elegant play, a tasteful play, a cultural play, a kind of historical and nostalgic play. Antique investment belongs to the category of art investment.

Taking porcelain as an example, the real meaning of antiques in the past refers to the special varieties in the official kiln, or called the imperial kiln, since ancient times, ceramics are divided into three categories, official kiln, private kiln, imperial kiln.

Among them, the most noteworthy is the imperial kiln.

There are two interpretations of the imperial kiln, one refers to the high-quality works in the common official kilns, in the past, the official kilns were usually fired with hundreds of varieties, and the flawless ones were used by the royal family, and the next level of general quality was used, or rewarded, and the top ten in the quality of more than 100 official kiln works were the imperial kilns.

In some ancient books, the term "passenger and cargo" refers to the folk kilns at that time.

Like the private kiln, the official kiln is also a classification. Personally, though, there's nothing worth dwelling on.

Antiques, as a special commodity, have their own special historical and cultural characteristics.

In terms of historicity, antiques have a sense of vicissitudes of historical burden, and often these things are the best witnesses of politics, economy, culture, and military in a period of social development.

From a cultural point of view, antiques are very tasteful items and have artistic qualities. It is precisely because of these two most distinctive characteristics of antiques as commodities that it is determined that the professionals who pan for gold in a certain field of antiques may win a lot of money in the huge and complex antique market. ”

Old Man Shi's words made us feel like a five-body cast. I can't help but sigh that China's culture is really broad and profound. (To be continued......)
