There is a saying since ancient times: "Buy gold in troubled times and collectibles in prosperous times." Throughout history, many works of art have been destroyed in wars. Gold is easy to preserve, so its value is higher in times of chaos. The arrival of prosperity has given us a relatively stable collection environment. China is a culturally rich country and an ancient civilization with an 8,000-year-old jade culture. Jadeite is known as the king of jade. For most jadeite lovers, playing with jadeite may be limited to buying a few pieces to wear, or buying a few ornaments to put at home for show, but as for the level of collecting, many people feel that they have not reached that level. Indeed, collecting sounds too high-sounding, but collecting is really not a mysterious thing. Every piece of jade you buy can be said to be a collection. However, it is indeed quite difficult to become a collector like Ma Weidu. If we break the word "collect" into two parts, "collect" means buying the jadeite you like and taking it home, but this requires your knowledge and vision. Nowadays, the word "master" seems to be no longer a new word. Anyone dares to call himself a master or an expert. For the expensive jade collection, many so-called masters' words are not credible. You can only rely on yourself. The knowledge involved in jade collection is very complicated. You must understand many aspects of knowledge. Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on appraisal fees, it is better to spend some money to buy some professional books and go to the jade market yourself, otherwise you will always be cheated. Moreover, the appearance of fake jade in the jade market did not just happen with the development of technology. Fakes have existed since ancient times. It’s just that technology has made the fakes more realistic, which tests the player’s eyesight. There is a saying in the collecting world: If you don’t have a keen eye, your collection won’t be genuine. It is easy to say that identifying fakes is easy to do, but it is difficult to do it. We must read more about jade and look at more jade raw materials. Therefore, by learning jade culture year after year and becoming more professional, you will have good collections and become an expert in the jade industry. After talking about “collecting”, let’s talk about “hiding”. "Cang" means to preserve, to keep the beautiful jade at home and wait for it to appreciate in value. Of course, this requires your vision and luck. In fact, the fact that you have chosen to collect jade has proved that you are a person with vision. Jade resources are non-renewable. As mining technology becomes more and more advanced, good jade stones are becoming less and less. As time goes by, the value-added is certain. Compared to some collectibles such as calligraphy and painting, jade is also extremely easy to preserve and difficult to damage. Secondly, jade is not just a beautiful thing, it contains profound cultural heritage. Since ancient times, my country has compared jade to virtue and regarded jade as a symbol of character and virtue. Of course, there are also many people who say that they don’t have money to buy jade, but if they have money they can become collectors. Indeed, collecting jade requires financial support, but financial resources only provide you with a shortcut. Moreover, although those who play with jade are not necessarily multi-millionaires, everyone has some money. Therefore, only with hard work, each of us who loves jade can become a collector.
