The pleasure of collecting is human nature and the hobby of human civilization. Historically, from emperors and princes to literati and even ordinary people, almost all have a soft spot for collections. Today, with the rapid economic development in China, people's lives have been greatly improved, and more and more people are engaged in folk collection activities. According to the author's research, people can get five kinds of fun by collecting. First of all, collecting can enrich the fun of collectors' spare time. In the huge collection army, many people initially collect out of interest. They are often attracted by something, and even can't help being tempted by this confusing and wonderful world, and then they have the idea of collecting. Once collected, people often can't put it down, and some even enjoy it day and night. For example, Mr. Jin Sanyi, a stone collector in Shanghai, is the owner of a real estate company in Minhang. In the early 1990s, his free time was spent growing flowers and entertaining himself. He fell in love at first sight when visiting the flower and bird market. Since then, he has embarked on the road of hiding stones and exploring stones. Whenever he goes out, regardless of the ends of the earth, at home and abroad, he always feels a magical call, prompting him to spend time exploring rocks. Once when I went to South Africa, all my colleagues were sightseeing, but he left alone. I found a piece of bread in a pile of natural rocks on the beach of the Cape of Good Hope. I met them late and the journey was inseparable. After ten years' search and research, there are hundreds of stones hidden in Jin Sanyi's home, all kinds of which are unique and magnificent, and some are impressive, giving people unlimited imagination. Some of them are vivid and lifelike, just like natural calligraphy and painting, giving people endless aftertaste. Such as "auspicious elephant welcomes guests", this is a white wall. At first glance, it doesn't look like a stone. Obviously, a white elephant is dancing with its long nose to welcome guests, sometimes moving forward and sometimes retreating. It's clumsy and childish. So lifelike, it's really a bit confusing. There are still many collectors like Jin Sanyi in Shanghai. Collection can increase the fun of maintaining and increasing value. There is an ancient saying in China: "Grain merchants are profitable, cloth merchants are profitable, medicinal materials merchants are profitable, and jewelry calligraphy and painting are profitable." From this, it can be concluded that the profit from operating and collecting works of art is quite high. From the past history, a group of investors with collectible value will emerge in every era. They buy at a low price and sell at a high price for the purpose of maintaining and increasing value. The most typical is the postal currency card market. Many people collect stamps, coins and telephone magnetic cards just to preserve and increase the value. Some have made a fortune after several years of market operation, and some have completed the original accumulation of capital. In particular, investors who entered the postal market on a large scale in the late 1970s and early 1980s made considerable profits. Take the stamp of 198 1 as an example. The biggest increase is the monkey stamp of the zodiac, with a face value of 8 cents. Even in the current depressed postal market, the price is as high as 1300 yuan, and the appreciation in 22 years is as high as 16000 times. The smallest increase is tree planting, with a face value of 0.42 yuan. At present, there are many collectors who support postal, currency and cards in the postal currency card market. Similarly, the collection of other works of art also has this situation. For example, Xiaoxiao Group in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, has collected calligraphy and painting for many years and is quite well-known in Tibetan areas. 1996 successfully took Shen Ming Shi Chong's hand scroll (30.5*756.5CM) at Hanhai auction for 940,000 yuan (imitating fourteen paintings of Song and Yuan Dynasties). Three years later, when this work was sold again in Hanhai, it was sold for 3.24 million yuan, a three-year increase of more than twice. Another example is that a buyer in Shanghai bought Huang Huanwu's Lijiang River Scenery at the auction of Shanghai Auction House 1997 for 20,000 yuan. In 200 1 year, Huang Huanwu's works were warmly sought after when they were auctioned at Shanghai Jinghua auction. As a result, the transaction cost 92,000 yuan, which has more than tripled in five years. Therefore, there are many similar situations in the art market. Take porcelain as an example. In 2000, Sotheby's in Hong Kong introduced a six-sided bottle of Qingganlong with gold pastel sauce, which was acquired by Beijing Cultural Relics Company for HK$ 20.944 million. This porcelain was plundered by Eight-Nation Alliance when it invaded China, but Sotheby's once sold the same one at 1988, and the price of the blank was only1700,000 Hong Kong dollars, with a considerable increase of 12. Due to the considerable profits from investing in art in the medium and long term, "cultivating Tibet by Tibet" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Collection can add artistic interest. Egyptian museum expert Mahmoud? Mr. Mesalan once interpreted collections as preserving national heritage, constantly developing people's knowledge, helping people to know and protect their own world, and making people work hard for a better life. At present, with the rapid development of the national economy, people's lives have been greatly improved, and people's holidays have also increased significantly, so the wave of folk collections in China is getting higher and higher. In the 1980s, postal currency was the forerunner, and in the 1990s, artworks sprang up and swept the motherland. In real life, whenever people know that you are engaged in a collection activity, people will think that you have good taste; Whenever people know that you collect treasures, they will think that you are valuable. It can be said that the collection market in China is in the ascendant, and collection has become a taste, a price and a fashion. However, in the collection army, some people are trying to be arty. They follow the fashion, follow the fashion. Some people make a lot of money in business, but they have no knowledge in their stomachs. Seeing the hot art market, they also rushed to join in the fun. When they enthusiastically bid for famous calligraphy and painting, you ask him what is good about this painting? What are the artistic features of the author? He doesn't know. I once met a buyer at an auction. He only knows famous artists such as Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo and Li Keran. As long as their works appear in the auction, buyers will hang up their brands frequently, regardless of the price and authenticity, they are determined to win, but he doesn't know Zhao, Ren Bonian, Xu Gu and other famous artists earlier. This kind of arty buyer is not uncommon in the market.
