With the improvement of our society and culture, we pay more and more attention to antiques, because they are very helpful for us to study the previous culture and technology, and we can rely on them to understand the previous society. So the collection value of antiques is getting higher and higher. Antiques are classified into many categories, such as calligraphy and painting, porcelain, bronzes, Four Treasures of the Study and so on. Although different, they are all things that can bring us great help in learning ancient culture.
In my opinion, the most valuable collection is bronze antiques. First of all, we should know that we humans did not have weapons at the earliest time. With our little progress, our weapons are constantly evolving, from the original wooden sticks and stone tools to very advanced bronzes. But also with the improvement of our smelting level. At first, we simply polished with stones. Later, when bronze was discovered, it was processed with smelting technology, which also gave our ancestors more powerful weapons to protect themselves and promoted the development of smelting industry. We collect ancient bronzes, from which we can find the development of ancient smelting technology. And compared with calligraphy and painting, porcelain and other antique bronzes are better maintained. After all, its texture is harder than others.
So I think if you want to collect antiques, you should collect bronzes.
