When purchasing calligraphy and painting, we should pay attention to the following ten points. The following personnel from Shandong's acquisition of celebrity calligraphy and painting will explain to you:
一、真假问题：书画市场赝品泛滥，购买名家书画时，应请行家掌眼，以防买来假货。稳妥的办法是直接从书画家手中购求，或从有信誉的书画院处购买。
1、 The problem of authenticity: The calligraphy and painting market is flooded with fakes. When purchasing famous calligraphies and paintings, experts should be invited to keep an eye on them to prevent them from being purchased. The safe way is to purchase directly from calligraphers and painters or from reputable calligraphy and painting academies.
二、水平问题：书画艺术水平的高低是衡量其收藏价值的基本因素，名家之作也未必幅幅都是精品，如应酬之作、败笔之作便无法体现其应有的艺术水平，因而与精品的价值也大相径庭。
2、 Level: The level of the art of calligraphy and painting is the basic factor to measure its collection value. Famous works may not necessarily be all high-quality works, such as entertainment works and failed works, which cannot reflect their due artistic level, and thus differ greatly from the value of high-quality works.
三、问题：名家书画的定价不受物价部门的约束，书画市场漫天要价的现象非常普遍，所以在购买名家书画时，要了解行情，或请内行把关，以免上当。
3、 Price issue: The pricing of famous calligraphies and paintings is not subject to the constraints of the national price department. It is very common for the calligraphy and painting market to charge exorbitant prices. Therefore, when purchasing famous calligraphies and paintings, it is necessary to first understand the market situation or ask experts to check to avoid being deceived.
四、品相问题：品相是指书画的“相貌”状况，这些都是影响书画价值的重要因素。如果购买古旧书画，更应注意品相问题。
4、 Appearance: Appearance refers to the "appearance" of calligraphy and painting, which are important factors affecting the value of calligraphy and painting. If you buy ancient calligraphy and paintings, you should pay more attention to the quality issue.
五、尺幅问题：名家书画的销售有的以幅为计价单位。幅是指常规幅面，即不小于４尺３开者，有的则以平方尺为计价单位。所以同一位名家的作品，幅面越大，其价值越高。如幅面小于４尺３开的小品，其价值就不能与常规幅面的书画相提并论。
5、 Ruler issue: Some sales of famous calligraphies and paintings are priced in pieces. The width refers to a conventional format, that is, no less than 4 feet by 3 inches, and some are priced in square feet. Therefore, the larger the breadth of the work of the same famous artist, the higher its value. "If the size of a sketch is less than 4 feet by 3 inches, its value cannot be compared to that of a conventional size of calligraphy and painting.".
六、代表作问题：所谓代表作主要是指书画家擅长项目，如齐白石画虾蟹、徐悲鸿画马、黄胄画驴、李可染画山水或牛等。对书家而言，有的以草书见长、有的以篆书见长……如果书画家的作品不是其擅长的项目，其价值即逊一筹。
6、 Representative works: The so-called representative works mainly refer to the projects that calligraphy painters are good at, such as Qi Baishi painting shrimp and crabs, Xu Beihong painting horses, Huang Zhou painting donkeys, and Li Keran painting landscapes or cows. For calligraphers, some are good at cursive script, others are good at seal script... If the works of calligraphers and painters are not their good projects, their value is inferior.
七、鼎盛时期问题：每位书画家一生都有创作的鼎盛时期，这一时期的书画作品，已经形成作者的风格，并能反映其应有的艺术功底和艺术水平。而书画家早年的临摹作品或成名前尚未形成个人风格的作品以及晚年体弱多病气力不支之时的作品等，其价值显然不能与其鼎盛时期的作品等同看待。
7、 The problem of the peak period: Every calligrapher and painter has a peak period of creation in his or her life. The calligraphic and painting works of this period have formed the author's style and can reflect his or her due artistic skills and level. However, the value of works copied by calligraphers and painters in their early years, works that had not yet formed their personal style before becoming famous, and works that were weak, sickly, and weak in their later years cannot be equated with the works of their heyday.
八、题款与用印问题：有的名家书画有款无印或有印无款，或无印无款，或虽有款有印，但却是借盖他人闲章者，还有题上款者等等，因不能算作完善的作品，所以其价值便大打折扣。同样的作品，长题或题诗者比穷款者价值应高一些。在古旧书画中题上款者并不影响其价值。假如上款本身又是名人的话，反而更具价值。
8、 Question of title and seal usage: Some famous calligraphies and paintings have money or money, or money or money, or money or money, or even money and money, but it is borrowed to cover the official seal of others, as well as the money on the title, and so on. Because it cannot be considered a perfect work, its value is greatly reduced. The value of the same work should be higher for those who write long titles or poems than for those who write poor ones. The inscriptions on ancient calligraphy and paintings do not affect their value. If the above paragraph itself is a celebrity, it is even more valuable.
九、质地问题：书画的质地是指作书作画所用的纸或绢。也称作“地子”。书画质地的质量、使用效果以及其寿命都是影响书画价值的因素。例如同一位名家的作品，质地是上好宣纸者，其价值应高于其他杂纸者。
9、 Texture: The texture of calligraphy and painting refers to the paper or silk used for painting and calligraphy. Also known as "land". The quality, use effect, and lifespan of the texture of calligraphy and painting are all factors that affect the value of calligraphy and painting. For example, if the work of the same famous writer is made of high-quality rice paper, its value should be higher than that of other miscellaneous papers.
十、裱工问题：裱工是指书画裱件的装裱质量。有的书画裱件做工粗糙，或不平展，或残脱，或有折痕，或受湿受污等等。这些情况不但影响悬挂和欣赏，而且危及书画的寿命，也削弱了书画应有的价值。
10、 Mounter Problem: Mounter refers to the mounting quality of calligraphy and painting mounts. Some calligraphy and painting frames have rough workmanship, or are not flat, or are torn off, or have creases, or are contaminated by moisture, and so on. These situations not only affect the suspension and appreciation, but also endanger the life of calligraphy and painting, and weaken the value of calligraphy and painting.
