When it comes to the mysteries of the world of collecting, we can't help but ask: who is the most authoritative expert in this field? Are they scholars who have written as much as they have and have profound theories? Or those veterans with a lot of experience in the world of culture and museums? Or maybe it's one of the brokers who are comfortable at the top auction houses? These characters undoubtedly have a high level of professionalism and a deep industry background, but in this rapidly changing era, there are always blind spots in their knowledge that cannot be reached.
No matter how prominent or famous, even the top names in the world of collecting will inevitably make mistakes in their pursuit of treasures.
What's more, driven by interests, some people may deliberately confuse right and wrong and reverse black and white, and such people naturally cannot assume the title of "expert".
In the world of collecting, the truly timeless, infallible, and fair expert to all is "time". Time, the silent inquisitor, in its own unique way, quietly observes everything in the world of collecting. A person's mind determines his realm, and when some people stubbornly believe that only they are right, they may have fallen into a solidified world.
In the world of collecting, whether it is a museum expert or an ordinary collector, there is more or less this common problem of arrogance and self-righteousness. Their judgment of truth and falsehood is often based on their own subjective feelings, and ignores the test of time.
In fact, in the long river of time, each of us is a small existence. The long river of history will not change because of our will, let alone reshape because of our fantasies. However, there are always those who try to make history and falsify it, which is undoubtedly a self-defeating approach. Only time will conclusively prove who is right and who is wrong. No matter how complicated the entanglement of interests is, time will mercilessly crush them one by one.
In the pursuit of profit, many people gradually lose themselves. They are further and further down the road of collecting, but they are becoming more and more confused, not knowing what they are pursuing. Some people come into contact with the so-called "national treasures" at the beginning, but they do not have a solid foundation, and they look down on everything. They gather in a circle, flatter each other, and report to the group for warmth, but they are unwilling to face reality.
While others are obsessed with collectibles such as old and ordinary remnants, fragments, etc., the more they play, the more frightened they become, and their own world becomes more and more narrow.
However, only those players who dare to break through the inner "magic barrier" can truly eliminate the false and retain the true, retain the high-quality products, and inherit the culture. They are not afraid of difficulties and challenges, and feel the story and history behind each collection with their hearts. They know that only by passing the test of time can they truly distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and can they retain those masterpieces with historical value and cultural significance.
In the world of collecting, there are people who are always self-righteous and like to exaggerate. They might describe an ordinary painting as the work of a master, or an ordinary piece of porcelain as a rarity.
We don't have to take such statements too seriously, because time will tell.
At an exchange meeting, I witnessed a controversy over the Song Dynasty Ge kiln and the Jiaqing official kiln. One Tibetan insisted that his Song Dynasty kiln was genuine, while another thought that the Jiaqing kiln was more collectible. In the end, the Tibetan friend who bought the Jiaqing official kiln sold it at a higher **, and sold it at a higher **.
And the Tibetan friend who insisted that he had the authentic Song Dynasty kiln looked around for the approval of experts and connoisseurs, but never got a satisfactory answer.
This story tells us that in the world of collecting, only the practical eye and the test of time are the most convincing.
Of course, there are indeed many treasures waiting to be discovered, but the people who can really find these treasures are one in a million. Most people who follow the trend and go with the crowd will only complain about the unfairness of fate, but they are never willing to find reasons in themselves.
They lack independent thinking and judgment, blindly follow in the footsteps of others, and eventually only get lost in the vast sea of collecting.
Therefore, there is no urgency in the collection industry. We need to wait patiently for the test of time and feel the charm and history of each collection with our hearts. Only in this way can we gradually improve our eyesight and connoisseurship and become true collectors. And those who refuse to learn and rely only on fantasy will eventually be eliminated by time.
In the future, with the gradual maturity and standardization of the Tibetan market, those veteran players with real strength and vision will gradually emerge and give full play to the value of their own abilities. And those players who have been unwilling to learn and only rely on fantasy will be eliminated by the market. This is an inevitable trend and an inevitable law in the development of the collecting world.
In short, in the world of collecting, "time" is the timeless, infallible, and fair expert to all. Only by passing the test and tempering of time can we gradually improve our eyesight and connoisseurship and become true collectors. And those players who dare to break through the inner "magic barrier", remove the fake and retain the true, and retain the high-quality products, are the ultimate winners.
Let's look forward to the wonderful performances of collectors who can stand the test of time and pass on the eternal legacy!
