How to correctly understand the concept of collecting

Collectibles are a general term that contains a wide variety of species. From a broad perspective of time, it can be divided into: antiques and modern products.

The intersection of the two things exists. However, there is a big differentiation in its value. This mainly reflects the economic value of the collection.

So, how do you judge the value of a collectible? It can be judged from the following three perspectives:

1. The historical and cultural value of the collection;

2. What is the material nature of the collection;

3. The trend of the collectibles market;

It is very good to effectively grasp these three angles and judge the value of porcelain. When we do a collection again, we should not only pay attention to its economic value, but also its deep cultural value, which is more important. Therefore, it is necessary to fully grasp the collection standards.

Growing up, almost every hobby I did was labeled as an unproductive person by my parents and elders, who thought that every quirky gadget I collected took up too much space in the house. Obviously, this is just a lame reason for them to hit me.

In the deepest part of the mind, what parents really think is:

Spending time and energy collecting is purely idle and unprofessional.

In every period of my life in the past 30 years, I have received a question from the depths of my soul from relatives, elders, friends, colleagues, and even strangers

What is the point of you having so many knick-knacks in your collection?

But I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but I don't have an answer to that question. Or maybe you're asking the wrong question in the first place.

Like me, like Aino, like many friends who don't want to be obsessed with the meaning of life all the time, when we chase something that can bring us heartfelt happiness and peak experience, we emphasize experience, not meaning.

After all, if life is overly meaningful, it will be a lot less meaningful.

In the first half of my life, there were all kinds of serendipitous and unintentional insertions, and many of the friends I was very close to and could help me strongly were old friends I made in my early years when I was "idle" and "not doing my job".

It's the same when it comes to collecting small objects, I only focus on the pleasure of the present, and I don't have a lot of expectations for the future. In my values, I think that this kind of love will always be as blazing as a teenager.
