Secret script 1: it's better to collect broken jade than to hide the whole tile

艺术品有时因各种原因难保“十品”，尤其是古玩，经历岁月沧桑，常难达十分之完整度。当一件精彩但有残损的作品和一件品相完善却平庸的作品在你面前，将如何选择?是选断臂的维纳斯还是选完整的泥人张?收藏的原则是“宁为玉碎不为瓦全”。本来古玩收藏就是“抱残守缺”，不宜有过分的求全心理。当然在两件艺术水平相当的作品前，你还是要选品相完善的那件，哪怕要高出几倍。

Sometimes it is difficult to protect the "ten products" of works of art for various reasons, especially antiques. After years of vicissitudes, it is often difficult to achieve 10% integrity. When a wonderful but damaged work and a perfect but mediocre work are in front of you, how will you choose? Is it Venus with a broken arm or a complete clay figurine? The principle of collection is "better broken jade than complete tile". Originally, antique collection is "clinging to the incomplete", which should not have excessive perfection psychology. Of course, before two works with the same artistic level, you still have to choose the one with perfect quality, even if the price is several times higher.

另外，“玉”碎到什么程度可以接受也是必须考虑的。破损率超过一定限度就必须放弃，核心部分和关键部分如果缺损也必须放弃。比如明代德化窑观音像，如果缺一手，可藏;如果缺在头脸部，则不可藏。虽然二者破碎率都是百分之十，但后者缺损的是关键部分。此道理于书画亦然，名款缺失，与一花一石的缺失收藏价值差别甚巨。

In addition, the extent to which the "jade" is acceptable must also be considered. If the damage rate exceeds a certain limit, it must be abandoned. If the core part and key part are damaged, it must also be abandoned. For example, the Guanyin statue of Dehua kiln in the Ming Dynasty can be hidden if it lacks a hand; If it is missing in the head and face, it cannot be hidden. Although the crushing rate of both is 10%, the defect of the latter is the key part. The same is true for calligraphy and painting. The lack of famous funds is very different from the lack of one flower and one stone.

秘籍二：艺术性大于年代性

Secret script 2: artistry is greater than chronology

收藏古玩的朋友往往看重“年份”，而忽视东西本身的艺术性。有的古物“年份”很足，却不具艺术性或艺术性甚低，则不宜纳入“艺术收藏”视野。如宋元时期的青白瓷圹碗，出土量非常巨大，真正具备艺术收藏价值的并不多，还不如年份短得多的清代艺术瓷(如花瓶、瓷塑等)。

Friends who collect antiques often value the "year" and ignore the artistry of things themselves. Some antiquities with sufficient "year" but no artistry or low artistry should not be included in the vision of "art collection". For example, the celadon and white porcelain Kuang bowl in the song and Yuan Dynasties has a huge amount of unearthed materials, and not many of them really have the value of art collection. It is not as good as the art porcelain of the Qing Dynasty (such as flower bottles, porcelain sculptures, etc.) with a much shorter age.

还有大家总认为年代早的存世量比年代晚的少，宋代的比元代的少，明代的比清代的少，错。一般而言，艺术品比日用品少：清代的花瓶肯定比明代的盘碗少是肯定的。

In addition, people always think that the amount of early age is less than that of late age, that of Song Dynasty is less than that of Yuan Dynasty, and that of Ming Dynasty is less than that of Qing Dynasty. That's wrong. Generally speaking, there are fewer works of art than daily necessities: it is certain that there are fewer vases in the Qing Dynasty than plates and bowls in the Ming Dynasty.

秘籍三：宁收小名头精品，不收大名头烂品

Secret script 3: it's better to accept fine products with small names than rotten products with big names

作者知名度是艺术收藏投资必须考虑的一项，但是，并不等于说“知名度越高越有收藏投资价值”。收藏原则仍然是艺术性，知名度第二。其实，知名度是动态的，今天这幅作品的作者是小名头，五年以后或十年以后完全可能成为大名家。而你手头决定去留的作品却是静态的，今天它是名家的烂品，五年后十年后一百年后它仍然是烂品，仍然改变不了其平庸低劣的本质。

The author's popularity is an item that must be considered in art collection investment. However, it does not mean that "the higher the popularity, the more valuable the collection investment". The collection principle is still art first and popularity second. In fact, the popularity is dynamic. The author of this work today is a little famous, and it is entirely possible to become a famous artist in five or ten years. The work you decide to stay in hand is static. Today it is a rotten product of famous experts. Five years later, ten years later, a hundred years later, it is still rotten and still can not change its mediocre and inferior essence.

秘籍四：不以市场表现为收藏投资依据，只收好的，不收贵的

Secret 4: do not take market performance as the basis for collection and investment, only collect good ones, not expensive ones

当代的艺术市场仍处于混乱无序的状态中，过度炒作和虚假成交已经是司空见惯之事。所以一定要记住：只收好的，不收贵的。当然什么样的作品才是好的?这关乎收藏投资者的艺术鉴赏水平或其艺术收藏投资顾问的鉴赏水平。于什么是贵的什么是不贵的?必须与艺术品的质量联系起来考量，而不是仅仅看其一平尺多少。

Contemporary China's art market is still in a state of chaos. Excessive speculation and false transactions are common. So be sure to remember: only good ones, not expensive ones. Of course, what kind of work is good? This is related to the art appreciation level of collection investors or the appreciation level of their art collection investment consultants. As for what is expensive and what is not? It must be considered in connection with the quality of works of art, not just by the number of square feet.

秘籍五：收藏投资三两家，不要遍地开花

Secret script 5: collect and invest three or two. Don't blossom everywhere

当代艺术家多如牛毛，群星璀璨。你不可能也没必要“见好必收”“遍地开花”。除非你资金特别，精力特别旺盛。

There are so many contemporary artists and stars. You can't and don't have to "harvest when you see good" and "blossom everywhere". Unless you have a lot of money and energy.

否则选取一两家或两三家。当然如何选择艺术家也颇有讲求。总之在选择艺术家上要重质量，而不是重数量。

Otherwise, it's best to choose one, two or three. Of course, how to choose artists is also quite demanding. In short, we should pay attention to quality rather than quantity in the selection of artists.

秘籍六：只收艺术家作品，不收非艺术家的名人作品

Secret script 6: only artists' works, not celebrity works of non artists

政界名人、学界名人、名作家、大科学家、影视明星、体坛明星、名僧名道……等名人作品，除非其本人同时又是造诣不低的书画家，否则其作品皆不宜收藏。非书画艺术家的名人作品其艺术水平往往十分低劣。哪怕其人声名十分显赫，比如是总统、总理、将军、诺贝尔文学奖得主、奥运、当代高僧等等，他们对艺术为何物常常一无所知，怎能期待他们能创作出高水准的艺术佳作?他们的涂鸦之作可以当做“名人墨迹”收藏，但绝不可以当做艺术品收藏投资。

The works of celebrities such as political celebrities, academic celebrities, famous writers, great scientists, film and television stars, sports stars, famous monks and Taoism should not be collected unless they are also calligraphers and painters with high attainments. The artistic level of celebrity works of non calligraphy and painting artists is often very poor. Even if they are very famous, such as the president, the prime minister, the general, the Nobel Laureate in literature, the Olympic champion, the contemporary eminent monks and so on, they often know nothing about what art is. How can they be expected to create high-level artistic works? Their graffiti works can be collected as "celebrity ink", but they can never be invested as art collection.
