Today, with the prosperity of the country, the development and improvement of the national economy, people's quality is also constantly improving, in order to meet the material life at the same time, we need to pursue spiritual enjoyment. Calligraphy and painting has become the current collection and investment. So how to make the collection that is no risk and value-added? The following opinions and suggestions provide some reference for calligraphy and painting collectors.

要收藏有价值的作品，才不会有风险！什么是有收藏价值的作品呢？有收藏有价值的作品主要是看艺术家自身的修养高度和作品的艺术水准。换言之，就是要看艺术家自身的学识与文化修养的高低；要看创作的艺术水平的高低；要看作品是否形成了独特的个人风格与面貌；还要要看艺术家在当代影响的程度。

To collect valuable works, there will be no risk! What is a collection of valuable works? The collection of valuable works mainly depends on the artist's self-cultivation and artistic level. In other words, it depends on the level of the artist's own knowledge and cultural accomplishment; It depends on the artistic level of creation; It depends on whether the work has formed a unique personal style and appearance; It also depends on the degree of influence of artists in the contemporary era.

建议藏家可以适量收藏中等名头的古字画，因古字画存世量少，不含“炒作”与“水分”，且价位要比当代书画低得多。但，不利的是古字画存世量少，有时很难收藏得到，并且，赝品不少，而一般藏家又对古字画研究甚少，所有，给鉴定带来一定困难，再之，因收藏古字画的群体少，故出手时不如当代字画容易。

It is suggested that collectors can collect moderate amount of ancient calligraphy and paintings, because there are few ancient calligraphy and paintings in the world, without "hype" and "moisture", and the price is much lower than that of contemporary calligraphy and paintings. However, the disadvantage is that the number of ancient Chinese characters and paintings is small, sometimes it is difficult to collect, and there are a lot of fakes, and the general collectors have little research on ancient Chinese characters and paintings, which brings some difficulties to the identification. Moreover, because there are few groups of ancient Chinese characters and paintings, it is not as easy as the contemporary ones.

面对成千上万的的书画家（这里主要指年轻的书画家），藏家往往一头雾水，不知所措。常常感叹“雾里看花”，不知道到底收藏谁的好。并且，出现了不少藏家大量地赌某某画家的现象，这是对藏家及其不利的，甚是藏家的一种冒险行为。因为年轻的书画家艺术之路还很漫长，学养与创作还有待提高，有的书画家的作品包含着“炒作”与“水分”，不能光看目前小有名气，而忽略对书画家的全 面"考察"。所以，收藏这类书画家的作品要特别小心，搞不好就是“垃圾股”或“风险股”！但，这些书画家也会出现“绩优股”

In the face of thousands of calligraphers and painters, collectors are often at a loss. Often sigh "see flowers in the fog", do not know who in the end the collection of good. Moreover, a lot of collectors bet on a certain painter, which is not good for the collectors and even a kind of risk-taking behavior. Because young calligraphers and painters still have a long way to go, and their learning and creation still need to be improved. Some calligraphers and painters' works contain "hype" and "moisture". We can't just look at the current little fame and ignore the comprehensive "investigation" of calligraphers and painters. Therefore, we should be very careful in collecting the works of this kind of calligraphers and painters. Maybe they are "junk stocks" or "risk stocks"! However, these painters and calligraphers will also have "blue chip stocks"
