For real collectors, no collection is not painstaking. Another good friend of mine saw a painting of master Qi Baishi's "happy eyebrows" at the auction in 2002. Three years later, when he accidentally saw the painting again in a gallery in a small city, he immediately had a heartbeat. But when he raised enough funds and went to the gallery a week later, the painting had already been sold. In order to find the whereabouts of the painting, he spent nearly a year and finally achieved his wish.

买好的

Bought

好的才是具收藏价值。举个例子，众所周知周思聪是当代很多知名画家的老师，是上世纪伟大的女画家之一，她在去世前创作的为数不多的荷花作品被公认为是其艺术成就的高峰。几年前，一位收藏家为了收藏其中一幅荷花作品竟花了近30万元万，远远超出当时10万元左右的市场。但行家心里都清楚，这样的作品是具有升 值空间的的。

Good is valuable for collection. For example, as we all know, Zhou Sicong is a teacher of many famous contemporary painters and one of the great female painters of the last century. The few lotus works she created before her death are recognized as the peak of her artistic achievements. A few years ago, a collector spent nearly 300000 yuan to collect one of the lotus works, far exceeding the market price of about 100000 yuan at that time. But experts know that such works have room for appreciation.
 

买够得着的

It's within reach

收藏有地域性，艺术家因其成长、生活的地域不同，作品也会呈现出不同的面貌，这也就是我们常说的风格、流派。对于我们来说，要尽量选择离我们比较近的艺术家，比如说我们生活在北方，就尽可能去收藏“京津画派”画家的作品，因为这画家们就生活在燕赵大地，很多好作品都留在这里。去一趟北画院齐白石纪念馆，就能看到好的齐白石真的迹，能非常方便地获得对画家、画作直接的感受。

Collections are regional. Artists' works will show different faces because of their different regions of growth and life, which is what we often

 call style and genre. For us, we should try our best to choose artists close to us. For example, if we live in the north, we should try our best to collect the works of painters of the "Beijing Tianjin painting school", because these painters live in Yanzhao earth, and many good works remain here. Go to the Qi Baishi Memorial Hall of Beihua academy, you can see the real traces of Qi Baishi, and you can easily get a direct feeling of the painter and paintings.

买还没涨起来的

Buy something that hasn't risen yet

虽然目前书画、油画等艺术品的已经很高了，但对于一般收藏者来说机会还是有的，你可以买那些还没仃涨起来的画家的作品。要想在这方面真 正有所收获，必 须下一番苦功，进行全 面认真的研究。哪画些家的作品值得买，为什么值得买，自己要做到心里清楚。齐白石的作品已经很贵了，那王涛、李谷婵的呢？只有经过认真努力的钻研，才可能掌握蕴含在收藏中的无穷奥妙。

Although the price of Chinese calligraphy, painting, oil painting and other works of art has been very high, there are still opportunities for ordinary collectors. You can buy the works of painters who have not yet risen. If we want to really gain something in this regard, we must work hard and conduct comprehensive and serious research. Which paintings are worth buying and why are worth buying should be clear to yourself. Qi Baishi's works are already very expensive. What about Wang Tao and Li guchan? Only after careful study can we master the infinite mysteries contained in the collection.
