Collection theory of Yang Zengyu, a celebrity in the collection field.

Rugao, Nantong is a famous historical and cultural city in China, the hometown of longevity in China and the hometown of flowers and trees in China. The love story between Mao Bijiang Water Painting Garden and Dong Xiaowan is widely circulated at home and abroad, and the water painting garden is even more famous. Rugao has a profound history and culture, and there are many literati. Here is a Rugao collector, Mr. Yang Zengyu.

Mr. Yang Zengyu, also known as "Good Bug", is a director of Rugao Collectors Association, vice president of Nantong Red Culture Research Association, president of Rugao Branch of Nantong Red Culture Research Association, and a member of China Flower Association Bonsai Branch. He is a celebrity in the collection field. He is well-known in the industry, generous, enthusiastic and helpful. He summed up his rare collection experience for collectors and friends, and combined with the form of poetry, which is easy to understand and interesting! Let everyone really get the knowledge and happiness from it!

In recent years, with the rise of collection fever, "picking up leaks" has become synonymous with collectors buying cheap genuine products. However, the missing premise is that the buyer must know the business, the seller does not know the business, or the seller knows the business, but is in urgent need of money. Otherwise, this vulnerability will not be discovered. If both buyers and sellers don't know how to do it, it's hard to say who will pick up the leak.

Therefore, if you want to pick up the leaks in the collection of ancient porcelain, you must first reserve excellent collection knowledge, understand the firing process characteristics of porcelain in various historical periods, and have a superb appreciation level. This is called "strike while the iron is hot, you have to be hard." Because in the current market, some counterfeiters just take advantage of the weakness of many collectors, such as inexperience, poor ability to distinguish fakes and wanting to make a fortune all day, to create some strange fakes, which are sold in the market after use, making people feel rare treasures, but suffer from the lack of reference to cultural relics and materials. Although they are not sure, they are afraid of missing it. Therefore, they paid the bill by luck and finally paid the tuition. Such examples are numerous in the whole collection field.

From a psychological point of view, collectors like to pick up leaks, and whoever can pick up leaks will be happy that things are good and cheap. However, today, with the rapid flow of information, the overall improvement of collection appreciation level and the popularization of ancient ceramics collection, it is not an easy task to pick up the leaks. For example, an old porcelain handed down by Lizu, a seller, will not be sold to you easily unless someone looks at it and finds out the price. The reason is simple, that is, I want to sell it at a good price. People who buy things always shop around, and people who sell antiques also ask around to see who pays the highest price.

In recent years, with the further deepening of the collection fever, there are fewer and fewer genuine products on the market, and fine ancient ceramics are even more rare. It's not just a matter of omission, but also a matter of fate, because the collection itself is suitable for long-term holding and should focus on the future. Therefore, we should update our concepts and keep pace with the times. Ten years ago, there might have been fish that escaped from the net in the market. Now I bought it, even if I bought it right. Because from the perspective of the whole art market, the overall price of ancient ceramic folk kiln plates has not yet been put in place and is in the stage of gaining momentum.

Therefore, the collection of ancient ceramics is no longer just bargain-hunting. The collection of ancient ceramics must not stay on the concept that cheap things in the early years were really bargain-hunting. It is necessary to adjust the mentality of collecting with the market, get out of the psychological misunderstanding of greed, and be willing to pay for seeing physical objects and good things. Otherwise, true things and good things will never turn to you, and you will never find loopholes. It is precisely because many people's psychology of collecting leaks has not been adjusted. Personally, I think this is a good time for smart people to collect leaks.

Be careful of sailing for thousands of years,

Suspicious, everything is a soldier.

If you want to make real friends,

You need to show your sincerity to your friends.

Collection really needs to be cautious, but don't be suspicious. In the face of the favorite baby, everyone will inevitably have excitement, impulsiveness and later doubts. How to decide, take or let go, take or give up, waver, right or left. I'm afraid I'll give up medicine (fake medicine), and I'm afraid I'll lose a great opportunity to miss Taobao. This moment is really embarrassing, painful and embarrassing!

At this time, it is necessary to judge the authenticity from all directions cautiously and calmly. First of all, visual sense, to see if it is comfortable. Whether the shape is beautiful, whether the lines are smooth, whether the proportion is coordinated, whether the patina is exquisite and natural, and secondly whether it feels overweight and ultra-light, or moderate, smooth and rough. Of course, these are inseparable from the usual watching, touching, learning and communication. Knowledge is important and experience is necessary.

Without knowledge and experience, we must make use of our social circle, friends and friends, relatives and relatives of friends. Under the relationship of relatives and friends, we can take less medicine and be fooled less. Trusting someone you think you can trust and buying his goods at a price slightly higher than the market price is a good way to collect money.

This has several advantages:

First, if you have a price advantage, he will give priority to providing good goods.

Second, he will always protect your interests because you are his god of wealth.

Third, he will be your eyes and staff, and you can refer to his advice for the goods you see elsewhere.

Fourth, the best place and object for exchange and study. If you find such a friend with a good reputation, you can collect it with peace of mind.

But you must treat such a person with sincere respect, because he is your bridge, your road and your eyes. You must try your best to maintain your friendship. Suspicion at this time will definitely hurt your friendship and lose each other's trust, which is the greatest harm to you. He just lost a buyer, and it's still there. Besides, don't worry about the buyer of good things. If you lose him, you lose the bridge, the road and your eyes, so only you know how to collect them in the future.

? Really;

Caution is a good thing, but don't be suspicious.

Suspicion hurts people and hurts themselves.

Missed opportunities are gone forever,

Get along with each other in good faith and increase harmony.

This is the soil that crushes the future.

Burn in the kiln.

Exquisite products, imperial music,

Ordinary people are here.

This poem is about porcelain. China's ceramics have a history of thousands of years, which is a wonderful flower in the world. I don't know how many skilled craftsmen in ancient times worked hard to achieve several glories in history and made our porcelain famous all over the world. Everything is good and bad. Some people like it, others imitate it. Some people have the ability to imitate the fine works of past dynasties, while others have the profit to imitate them. What's more, the ignorant donkey's lips are not right for the horse's mouth. The style of the former dynasty is the style of the later dynasty, and the style of the latter dynasty is the style of the former dynasty, which is made at random to deceive the world.

The imitation of modern people in past dynasties is particularly great. With the progress of science and technology, there is no lack of imitation by modern people. However, imitation is imitation after all, which is always different from previous dynasties. The layman looks at the flowers in the fog and doesn't know why. When you meet an expert, you immediately show your true colors. A guy under twenty always pretends to be an 80-year-old man, and an 80-year-old man pretends to be a 20-year-old guy. No matter how well you make up, you can't do it.

? The same is true of ancient porcelain. The material of the former dynasty is different from that of the present. The wood burned in the former dynasty used electricity in modern times, the wood used in the former dynasty used manpower in modern times, machinery in modern times, natural pigments in the former dynasty and chemical pigments in modern times. These innate differences are already many. Besides, there are hundreds of years from the past to the present, and thousands of years from now. Porcelain naturally changed during this period, which was caused by human factors. Such as cleaning, collision, etc. Will intentionally or unintentionally leave traces, even if it stays there, it will change its degeneracy, and the sound luster is obviously different from that when it first came out of the kiln. Some people say that it is difficult to distinguish between doing old things and doing well, and there is still a difference between doing nature. The patina is unreliable and uncomfortable. Naturally, the patina is moist and firm, and the scar is blunt and artificial. It should be found somewhere.

One: the patina on it will come off as soon as it is wiped, and there should be some places that should not be there.

Two: the inside and outside are similar, which is obviously artificial.

Three: The above wear marks are everywhere and appear in clusters.

Four: This bottle looks like the porcelain tire is not thick, but it always presses the hand because the bottom is too thick.

Really:

A liar has no face when he lies,

It's hard to fill fakes with miracles.

Knowing the mystery and mystery,

Clever debate between true and false will not change.

Rare treasures, gold and silver,

Wonderful workmanship, shocking ghosts and gods.

Dr. Wang, a refined scholar,

Fight for the treasure.

This poem is about people's desperate love for rare treasures, and shows the true colors of greed in front of good treasures. Actually, human nature is greedy. In the face of my beloved baby, I will spare no effort in gold and silver. I won't stop until I get it. But everything has a cause and effect. What is yours is yours after all, and what is not yours is to get it, and you can't stay long. Besides, a really good baby is loved by everyone from the emperor to the people. Good things can talk and stand out everywhere. Natural attraction. If you are a modest gentleman, you should also touch that greed.

Fun-the fun of collecting! The interests of collection are elegance, interest, interest, literature and wealth. I think this is the most interesting thing.

Elegant taste-anyone who collects is called elegant taste because of his calm temperament, knowledge of literature and history and knowledge of calligraphy and painting.

Benefit-the treasured place, which is expensive because of scarcity, appreciates with the passage of time. This is called benefit.

Interest-every collection has a story, a story of inheritance and a story of theme. This is interest.

Literary interest-the stories told in the collection, the craftsmanship, culture and spirit of the ancients are all called literary interest.

Financial interest-because of love, many sets are widely collected, and a lot of wealth is inadvertently gathered. Due to appreciation, omission, platform and other reasons. Your collection makes you an invisible rich man.

Today, every collector has a profound experience and is respected and envied by all kinds of people in society. Those who are engaged in politics, commerce, literature, military affairs and entities are incompetent if they don't have two decent collections. As long as you are a coastal cadre or boss. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know anything about antiques.

Tao-the way to collect! The way to collect antiques is true and sincere.

There are three facts:

Be true, treat others sincerely and tell the truth.

Erzhen, buy real goods and sell real goods.

Three truths, authentic * * * Reward * * Seminar * * * Learning.

? Only honesty is the long-term way in the industry. Buying fakes and selling fakes make a small profit for the time being, and selling fakes doesn't make much money. And sell them all at a low price. Sell honestly and buy letters. I really sold it, but it was great to buy it. That's what collections should be like.

Really:

There are thousands of antiques,

Sellers and buyers have the same heart.

One side is profitable and the other side is valuable.

Interesting and rich in collection.

How do laymen become collectors?

The antique business is full of muddy water,

It's hard to tell the old from the new.

Accidentally cheated,

Lost money, lost shares.

This poem is about the difficulty of collection, and it is also a true portrayal of beginners' collectors. Many people like to collect, but not many people dare to come in. Some dragonflies run away as soon as they get wet. Everyone is afraid of muddy water, water cooling and water depth. When I met someone, I went into a mosquito nest. Some people suffer a small loss, and some people fall for it. So many people just shake their heads at the mention of antique collection. Really hate more than love, fear more than joy.

However, people who really like collecting are pouring in. Moreover, agriculture, industry, commerce, soldiers, cadres and bosses have all gone into battle. It is said that there are tens of millions of collectors in China, and it is conceivable that the good and the bad are mixed. The confusion of assembly and team can be seen. Making and selling fake goods, buying and selling fake goods are everywhere. From experts to civilians, from cities to rural areas. There are traces of selling fakes everywhere. Some are selling fakes, some are buying fakes, and there is a demand for production. Fake goods have also created a tall gang around us-the National Treasure Gang. They buy official kilns everywhere in search of the best treasure. Fakes bought at a very low price are national treasures once they are started, so they are nicknamed "National Treasure Gang" in the industry. They hired a fake expert to issue a certificate. Find a group of friends to go with. Some people even opened museums. Ha ha!

Is it really that difficult to collect antiques? Can't you really collect antiques without professional knowledge? No, never! You can make a good collection without professional knowledge. You can also be a collector. Only in the absence of professional knowledge, the method is very important. Here's a tip for everyone:

The first is to recognize people: you don't know antiques, you must recognize people. You must know or indirectly know people in the field of antique collection. Find the right person, get twice the result with half the effort. It's like exploring a mountain with a good guide. You will take the nearest and best way. The wizard you are looking for must meet two conditions (1) and have a good personality. (2) Good eyesight. Both are indispensable. He has a good personality and poor eyesight, so he can't even recognize himself. How can you expect him! If you have a good eye and a bad character, he will lie to you. I'll even dig a hole for you and push you in. After finding the right person, it is also important to maintain and enhance feelings and find a good way of cooperation.

There are several ways of basic cooperation. First, buy directly from him. Second, ask him to buy. Third, ask him to have long eyes. Either way, we must ensure the interests and full respect of the other party. Buy directly to ensure his profit margin, ask him to pay the labor cost of purchasing (should be discussed in advance), and ask him to pay the long eye fee (should be discussed in advance). What he does is short-term and what you do is long-term. He earns money with experience, and you invest with money. He is a porter and you are an investor. He ran the market, ran experts, shoveled the land, and earned hard money. You hoard goods, use time and space, and make a lot of money through contacts. He is an antique second-hand scavenger, and you are the protector of chinese heritage.

The whole thing is:

Although the water in the collection line is deep,

Walk safely with wisdom.

Virtue, wisdom and generosity,

Nabao gathers wealth and achieves great things.

When I first started collecting, I walked on the ice.

Every step is frightening.

I've been through many battles,

General, now cross the knife.

This poem is written by people who have just started to learn to collect. They are afraid of being fake, expensive, useless and being laughed at. I don't know what to do or whether it's worth it. Do not understand the characteristics of the new and old times, poor technology, wide materials, scarce. In short, it's like a preschool child entering a bookstore and an ignorant recruit going to war. Ignorance, fear, fear. At a loss, at a loss.

But the antique collection is full of surprises, novelty, omissions, Taobao. Especially the inner charm of antique art. Every baby's aura, their own glory. Throughout the ages, countless literati, bureaucrats and businessmen have bent their backs in competition! It has also created countless classic stories and made countless collectors. Let how many people get rich overnight and attract how many people to invest successfully. The most important thing is to let too many people have a good collection and a good topic to learn and discuss. Let the artistic essence of the Chinese nation be passed down from generation to generation!

It's easier said than done, if you want to be a successful collector or an investor who uses antiques as an investment channel. There must be persistent determination and preparation for long-term investment. Learn with an open mind, and be rewarded with * * * lessons. Constantly study the historical and artistic connotation behind the collection. Don't forget the profits, and sell them as soon as you see that you have a lot of profits (of course, keeping Tibet is another matter).

You can start collecting according to your hobbies or teachers' suggestions. Choose a category as the breakthrough of collection, and then develop into other fields in the future. With the continuous increase and accumulation of quantity and experience, you will naturally move towards a higher-end collection. You can also enter from the very beginning with multiple varieties, directions and levels. The premise is to meet two points, one is money, and the other is eyesight (this can be done by borrowing). In the fifth issue, how to become a layman's home, I talked in detail about the win-win cooperation with industry experts. )。 In the whole collection process, we should constantly adjust, leaving coarse and fine, low and high. Remove the defective products and leave the perfect ones. Only in this way can we achieve the purpose of collection.

? To be a successful collector, you must have a pair of good eyes. If you have no vision and telling the truth is not enough, then you have no financial resources. Good things are expensive, sought after and sought after by everyone. Therefore, without financial resources, you often can't buy really first-class good things. At the same time, courage and perseverance are important. When it's time to act, act. Hesitation is the taboo of collection. Business is booming for three minutes, and the opportunity is gone forever. When the money is not enough, your eyesight can make up for it, and you can pick out the real pearls from the real pearls. Pick out the real treasure from a pile of seemingly ordinary things. You can also collect favorite and precious collections by fate, and good treasures are hard to find.

After the baby gets it, it should be carefully studied and discussed. If you are a fan, you should listen carefully to the opinions and opinions of experts (of course, you can trust experts). Used to correct their immature views. Antique collection should have integrity and personality, calm and enthusiastic, capable and decisive, and keep his word. For things that we can't confirm, we can ask our friends to slap in the face. You can also agree to return or exchange goods within a certain period of time. Of course, during this time, you must combine the opinions of experts to decide the trade-off. Once you pay the deal, you will never go back on your word.

Pre-investment: analyze market trends through investigation and observation. To determine the type of investment. This investment must be a category or variety that is not valued and recognized by people at present. You can buy in bulk and change the space another time. Tell a true story that many people in the industry know: Twenty years ago, a boss bought a large number of bottles of peach blossom beauty. At that time, porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, peach blossom beauties and teachers with little protection were all abandoned. Soon he bought a lot and people laughed at him as a fool. Even his lover began to oppose his collection. Because no one really took over this porcelain at that time. No one thinks this kind of art is an antique, it is regarded as a daily necessities. When people came to their senses, the boss insisted again. The boss became a big winner. A few years ago, he gave away a third of his collection (still a poor choice). I heard that it sold tens of millions. It is important to have a good eye for collecting.

It really is:

It takes courage to join the collection.

Long-term collection depends on vision.

It takes perseverance and courage,

Honesty and integrity are good collections.

Everyone knows that everything is difficult at the beginning.

Antique collection is different.

If you know how to take and give,

The road to collection is also smooth sailing.

This poem is about the difficulty of entering the antique collection for the first time. Don't talk about the characteristics of each door, each kind, each place, each faction, each dynasty and each generation, it is difficult to distinguish. The later dynasty imitated the former dynasty, the folk kiln imitated the official kiln, and the famous artists imitated the famous artists. As well as all kinds of fictional scientific and technological imitations in modern times, people are dazzled and at a loss. In fact, these can still be distinguished through study, observation and research. However, the high, medium, low, poor and excellent categories really need to be well controlled. It is necessary for us to collect.

? But how to grasp this degree well needs to find this point in practice. This requires us to see more and learn more. Especially compare more. Without comparison, there is no distinction between high and low, good and bad. Without contrast, there is no sense of pleasure and affection. Contrast not only allows us to distinguish between good and bad, but also allows us to see their gap more intuitively. Aroused our interest in exploring and studying the gap between them.

The importance of collection comparison. Distinguish the good from the bad by comparison, and choose the good to get rid of the evil. Collection can be healthy and upward. Otherwise, it is deep pockets, money is not a problem, and the place where it is stored is also a big problem. Timely selection is very important in collection.

Really;

Is it good to collect treasures,

Comparison of the same kind and type.

Not as happy as a wanderer,

It goes without saying that the two are better or worse.

Collect tens of millions of varieties,

There are several kinds that suit you.

Picking melons with baskets is easy to see.

Choose your own advantages objectively.

It is said that there are more than 10 million varieties to collect. Up and down thousands of years, how many generations before and after. Natural, artificial, that is countless. Plus the alternative series that many people like now. It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming, and it can also be said that it is strange. However, everyone likes it and loves it. We can't deny other people's hobbies according to our own preferences. It is said that expanding the collection is a great event that benefits the country and the people. It is an important event to inherit culture and protect national treasures. From a small point of view, according to your own preferences, you can collect some things you like, you can enjoy yourself, and you can invest in appreciation. But also the culture and wealth that can be passed on to future generations.

? Collect what you like and can collect, and hide what you cherish and can hide. All collections should be within their own capabilities, which they like and can distinguish.

First, local resources, such as local porcelain kilns, local jade articles, local famous calligraphy and painting, local special handicrafts and local famous relics. Because of things produced locally, the moon is close to water first. It is easy to collect and study, and it will produce results soon. It plays an important role in the excavation and protection of local culture.

Second, I love and know. For example, if you like coins, you can start with coins. If you like calligraphy and painting, you can start with calligraphy and painting. If you like porcelain, you should start with porcelain. In short, you can make steady progress and development by starting with your favorite category.

Third, learn from the director and lead the best teacher into the door. It is also a category that you can learn from. He is good at this, you just learn from him.

Fifth, from near to far, from low to high. You can start with something with a closer year and a lower level. Then from near to far, from low to high step by step. Then abandon the near and stay far as appropriate, and stay low and stay high. This may be a positive result.

Hide that what you love is true,

Thousands of collections are oceans.

Set a goal, steer,

The harvest journey has begun.

Mr. Yang Zengyu's classic collection shows the essence of the collection, which is a very good reference material and the experience of his collection for many years. It is with these valuable experiences that novice collectors can avoid the misunderstanding of collection. Good experiences will certainly make people profound and gain a lot! Honesty is the essence of collecting secrets. Antiques are a kind of pondering and appreciation. Mr. Yang Zengyu is such a successful expert in collecting antiques from ancient times to the present.
