The first step of collecting is to establish the goal and direction of your own collection, do not blindly be greedy, and choose and focus according to your own interests and abilities.

In antique collections, seeing the big is one of the criteria for appreciation. It means that a small artifact, don't look at the small appearance, but it contains a large atmosphere, the so-called aura is enough. On the auction catalogue, it can sometimes be intuitively perceived that the ** is a large tool, but it is likely that the physical object is very small.

There is a higher realm, that is, to be able to roll a small thing and cheap thing that was not valued by people at first, and through their own play and research, they have re-endowed with a deeper cultural connotation, and finally made the small thing become a heavy weapon.

It does sound a bit mysterious, because there are very few people who can reach the realm of Fanqing, which is something that only true antique collectors can understand.

What is a small to see the big, you ask those treasure experts Ye Peilan, Deng Dingsan them, they definitely don't know, because they don't know how to collect, we are engaged in collection is to take real gold, they will only play lip service, and now the collection of antiques has become tasteful, everything is related to monetary interests, just take the antique transaction as an example, most people can only stay in the low-end market, because the high-end market, auctions, private have been monopolized, this is the reality, Poly, Guardian, Hanhai, Kuangshi, Duoyunxuan, Xileng Printing Society, Including the four major antique brokers Cheng Shoukang, Li Jianchen, Qiu Guoshi, and Jiang Bingqiang, which one can not send money in? This is the reality, and antique collecting has long since become profitable.

Therefore, we must also have the right values of antique collecting.

Whether an antique collector has the ability is not to see how many of his collections, nor to see how true, refined and rare the so-called antiques are, and not at all to see whether they have made high-end contacts, many antique collectors know Liu Yiqian, Ma Yun, Wang Jianlin, Ma Weidu, Li Jianchen, but what is the use? The most important thing is to look at the nature of the thinking of the antique collector. The more powerful a person is, the more he knows how to take the initiative to manage the three circles with his heart to ensure that his growth can continue to iterate and improve.

Antique circle of friends: choose friends with heart.

Truly capable antique collectors will always choose antique collectors who are positive and worthy of their own learning. They will take the initiative to choose their friends.

If we want to make ourselves better, we need to take the initiative to make friends with people who are better than us.

Interacting with them can often change our cognition, break through our existing pattern, and allow us to see a different world.

We don't refuse to associate with amazing people, because knowing how to be friends with them will make you aware of your own gaps, and you will realize the importance of growth and learning.

The circle of thinking in the antiques world: Antique collectors should constantly expand their thinking mode.

The biggest enemy of an antique collector is himself, and if we can continue to break through our own thinking flaws as we grow, we can overcome our own flaws step by step.

Antique collectors have limited thinking and are often prone to limit our own development. There is a growth mindset and a fixed mindset in psychology.

The development and outcomes of life are very different from those of two different modes of thinking. Most of the really powerful antique collectors have a growth mindset, which is to look at themselves with a growth attitude in the face of everything, and when they encounter difficulties and setbacks, they will actively think about the meaning of this thing to their growth.

An antique collector with a growth mindset tends to be more exploratory and problem-solving. Because they deeply understand that every difficulty and setback contains the gift of growth, so their tenacity will be higher than others, and they will not give up easily, but will continue to think until the problem is solved.

Antique collectors with fixed thinking are more likely to label themselves, for example, when they encounter failures, they will think that their IQ is not good or that they do not have that talent.

People with fixed thinking are often more likely to become inferior and sensitive, they use labels to limit themselves, but forget that growth can be broken through.

There are some things that even if they are now, as we grow and become more capable, we will get better solutions.

Truly capable antique collectors tend to learn and constantly improve their thinking patterns, and they understand that only by mastering advanced thinking patterns can they see the bigger world and embrace a bigger future.
