China has a long history. Unlike many emerging countries in Europe and America, China has developed for thousands of years, and its technology and wealth accumulation are different from other countries. Like Jingdezhen ceramics in the Qing Dynasty and tri-colored ladies-in-waiting in the Tang Dynasty, these things can be traced back to the Yao and Shun period. These things are not only the representatives of culture, but also the representatives of the development of human science and technology, and they have very high value in themselves.
Since it is a collection, it will inevitably be valued. Things before 2000 are usually more valuable than things before 200. A thing with a cultural background is certainly more collectible than a dead thing.
The second is the issue of face.
I don't know when the Chinese style rose in the collection circle. Many collectors are proud of owning China antiques, and the constant spread of comparison naturally leads to more and more collectors' interest in China antiques. I have met many such collectors. They have a lot of face, like to compare with others, like others to worship them, so they can't miss the China antiques that can hold up the venue.
