Collection of antique boutiques, both ancient and new

Collections are often praised as "Boya Play". In the old days, which scholars did not have a few inscriptions or dozens of ancient coins? Which of the literati who are rich and rich does not collect one or two bronzes or jade articles? This is the common habit of Chinese literati, and it is also the unique leisure of the Orientals.

"Boya Qing play", naturally based on the collection of antiquities. The so-called antiques, that is, ancient artifacts are available for the cherished. Those antiques with a certain age can best prove the evolution of human beings, the transfer of history, the origin of art, and the evolution of social customs and habits. The range of antiques is wide. During the Republic of China, Zhao Yuzhen divided the antiques into calligraphy and painting, porcelain, bronze, ancient money, Xuan furnace, bronze mirror, jade, ancient ink, ancient books, rubbings, various famous papers, ancient bricks in the "Guide of Antiques". , idols, seals, silk embroidery, cloisonne, lacquerware, Yixing pots, pots, hoppers, teeth, color ink, pen, bamboo, fan, wood, stone, and other dozens. In the past, some people also divided the antiques into two categories: "hard film" and "soft film". Ancient porcelain is the representative of "hard film", and ancient calligraphy is a representative of "soft film". All of these are the objects of the literati's competition. They are fascinated by the rare treasures left by the previous generations, or they play with bronze, or search for ancient porcelain, or appreciate ancient paintings, or collect ancient jade, or both, and they are considered to have not only high appreciation value, but also The meaning is profound and evocative, and it can be said that "the ancient people's subtle and vast productions are in harmony with the creation of chemicals" (Dong Qichang, "Dong Dong XIII" in the Ming Dynasty).

In today's collection of antiques, in addition to enjoying the ancient taste of art, there is also a real meaning, that is, investment, preservation and appreciation. Antiques are precious, however, they have been passed down through years of vicissitudes. If you are rich in the special value of art or cultural relics, it is even more rare. Even if it is, its value is generally unacceptable. Moreover, the so-called "Antiquities" is also relatively speaking, today's "new" will become "ancient" in the future. If the collection must be rigid in the age, think that the longer the time is more precious, only recognize "ancient" and not "new", then the way of collecting is always narrower and narrower, and may lose the "good opportunity" to purchase treasures. In view of this, in China, the concept of “time play” appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and formed a collection and appreciation of the “time to play” atmosphere.

What is "time to play"? “Time to play” refers to those things that are made in modern or contemporary production. The Ming Dynasty Xu Shuzheng "Ming Xiao Lu" describes: "The painting is heavy in the Song Dynasty, and the singer has to pay attention to the Yuan people. The kiln is a heavy brother and a beggar, and the singularity of Xuande and Chenghua, and even Jiajing has increased tenfold." The character "Wan Liye was compiled" has a "time to play", which said: "The good things to play, the ancient is expensive, but the original is not, the red of Yongle, the copper of Xuande, the kiln of Chenghua, its price Hey and the ancient enemy. Gaby Song is famous for his lacquer lacquer, and it is rare nowadays. Thin and fragile, so the nearest one is the one." In addition to the above-mentioned items listed by Shen Defu, he is like Zhang Wei's "Tao Yu Meng Yi", there are still bamboo carvings and rhinoceros in Nanjing, and the copper of Suzhou Ganwentai. Furnace, "Wuzhong extinct, Lu Zigang's rule jade, Tiancheng's ruler rhyme, Zhou Zhuzhi's rule mosaic, Zhao Liangbi's rule comb, Zhu Bishan's rule gold and silver, Ma Xun, lotus leaf Li Zhizhi fan, Zhang Jiuzhi's ruler, Fan Baizhi's rule String". And Gong Chun, Shi Dabin, Chen Yongqing's Yixing sand pot, Wang Yuanji, and Zhengde's tin note are all "right-minded merchants and Zhou Ding's list without the bleak."

The “time-playing” style that emerged in the Ming Dynasty changed the collection customs of collectors with antiquities as the only collection, which greatly expanded the scope of collection. Most of the new collections that have emerged in later generations fall into the category of “time play”. For example, the snuff bottles in the Qing Dynasty, the self-sounding bells, modern stamps, sparks, and monthly cards all show the shadow of “playing time”.

Nowadays, among the many collections, there are countless types of “playing time”. The author classifies today's popular "time play" into ten categories. One is the modern painting and calligraphy category, including the works of the current painter and painter. Some of the authors are young, but their works are truly extraordinary. Such works have considerable investment potential. The second is the postal currency card, postal, and stamps; the currency mainly refers to the modern and collectible coins; the card mainly refers to magnetic cards and the like. The third is the ticket type, including stamp duty, lottery, ticket, transportation ticket, monthly ticket and past food stamp, cloth ticket, oil ticket and so on. The fourth is trademarks, including sparks, cigarettes, wine labels, food labels, and daily necessities. The fifth is modern pottery, porcelain, and jade. It refers to modern ceramics, porcelain, and jade ornaments, such as celebrity hand-made teapots and celebrity hand-painted porcelain. Sixth, modern handicrafts, including celebrity paper-cuts, shadows, kites, clay figurines and other works and new year paintings, folk toys, embroidery, wood carvings, etc. Seven are specimens, including mineral specimens, butterfly specimens, shell specimens, and bird specimens. Eight is a souvenir category, including various medals, medals, and Chairman Mao’s badge. Nine is a daily necessities with special value or series, such as clothing, buttons, wine, ashtrays, lighters, handkerchiefs, cans, shoes, poker, and records. The tenth is a modern book and magazine series, including well-printed atlases, book collections, complete sets of newspapers and periodicals, and comic strips.

The reason why modern "time play" is loved by collectors is that most of the items have the characteristics of being true, refined and strange. Experts believe that the collections must be played with authentic products, good products, beautiful products and special products, as long as they are on one item. It has the characteristics of true, refined and strange. Even if it is not far away, there are endless charms. Everything that represents the fashion of the times and the highest level of craftsmanship, or the items that reflect the history of an era, will be appreciated by our descendants hundreds of years later, and their worth may be many times higher than today.

A few years ago, Tianjin held an auction, all of which were modern handicrafts and paintings. One of them is the Shiwan ceramics produced by Liu Chuan, “Zhong Yu and Ghosts”, which sells for 500,000 yuan. A modern embroidery work “Five Bulls” is priced at 15,000 yuan, and a piece of ivory micro-carving fan made by Shen Zhongxing sells it. The price is 10,000 yuan, and a set of carved lacquered jade hanging screen made by Chen Zhifo and Jiang Wall sells for 600,000 yuan.

The above shows that those rare and creative artistic masterpieces, the rare things that are natural and natural, are ancient and modern, always recognized and loved by the world, and have their eternal value.
