First,
For the United States of collectors, many people will wonder: Why are there so many antiques were sold on the EBAY. Course, many people know that there are a lot of the imitation. It really is very much. Why are there so many really antiques? Because China has a large population, a long history, and the attention of those who died.
For many Americans, China's history is a mystery, even to many Chinese people speaking as well. Chinese characters have been 3000 years history, and the more ancient prehistoric cultures, since 7000-8000, and perhaps a few years will be verified is 10000 years. Because there are a few important archaeological projects in progress, archaeological experts are now speculating that the archaeological excavations at the scene than the 7000-8000 years ago is the Erlitou culture even earlier. Interested persons can enter the following official Chinese website (http://www.kaogu.net.cn/).
Recent archaeological and biological research achievements: modern humans from Africa several million years ago has never walk, access to China's primitive people divided into two parts, one is from the north of Xinjiang / Russian / Mongolia in, the other from the South to the countries of south Asia, and then into the middle of the Central Plains. Perhaps a third, they climb over the Himalayas into China's south-west of a Great Plains - Chengdu Plain (Perhaps this is the Sanxingdui culture and the origins of culture Sands).
However, all access to China's original inhabitants share a common love - jade. The jade stone is never isolated the essence of the history of Chinese jade history. You can imagine in 8000 which China is the number of inhabitants? Each one of the number of pieces of jade? Nobles also possesses many of them of jade. It can be said that in China, everyone as long as you������digging, they will find historical relics. The Chinese people's own ancestors and is very important to respect the (life three major birth / marriage / death), the legacy of history and preservation will be a lot better. Nearly 20 years China's economic development, so that the whole of China as a large construction sites, dug in the ground everywhere, everywhere archaeological discoveries.
Speaking for collectors, antiques is how sample processing? Grasp how China stone (jade) and the value of maintaining the principle? There. . . . .

Secondly,
As is known to all, China's economy is rapidly developing, and the people's income has increased significantly, China has a lot of rich people. And these rich people and all the world's wealthy, they very loving Antiquities. This is all you can in the world at large auction their presence, and their emergence antique auction transaction prices rose by 10% -15%. This is the world as the Chinese are buying oil, ores, metals, food and so on.
Of course, our concern is how we grasp the principle of jade collections, and collections so that we can appreciate the jade future. China's well-known experts in the common advice is: If you want to Join a jade, pay respects to somebody the following principles:
1, If you want to Join a jade, pay respects to somebody the following principles: Do you think this jade very pretty, but because you love it and pretty, and you would think that beautiful future. If corrosion serious calcification, defect, it will be reduced as the beautiful.
2, it has a good-yu jade quality (that is, high hardness, good transparency, good����, and color). HEITIAN JADE (NEPHRITE) is the most representative and best. You know jade stones valuable than that.
3, pieces of jade ornaments clear characteristics of the times (both representative), but scarce. Such a jade Academic research value. Instead, much of the world volume, the value will be low.
4, This jade era is long, and the more valuable the more ancient.
Here we must note that the sequence of these four principles are particularly important. If you buy a jade, the fourth point, as the primary consideration, it is very likely to buy fake or spending more money.
But more people would like to know is, how to judge a jade is primitive, ancient or modern imitation products. For such a problem is more difficult.
Our proposal is:
1, you have to to the museum, especially to China to see, because China and the United States on display at the Antiquities and the Antiquities and the state and surface treatment is different.
2, you have to read books.
3, you have to a master Baidoa, under the guidance of the master purchase antiquities, but between the master and you can not do business (which is China's principle).
4, after a period of time, you need Another mentor.
Third:
In today's world of the Internet to link the people of the world together. China is the same, there are many antique Forum. Inside the Forum in China, many people entered the fake experts write something, and their real aim is to sell things to you directly, or to some businessmen when asked (you to his relatives or friends where to buy things). China experts now busy writing archaeological research papers, postgraduate education, school teaching, engaging Identification (This is a very profitable work, to identify a Antiquities to earn 600-2000 yuan). Therefore, the Chinese experts is no time to carry out his identification and access to popularize knowledge of Antiquities. No special relationship you can not see the experts (experts in China is a very special characters)
