As parents, there are only two things that can really be left to their children: one is intangible, that is, to cultivate him into a talented person with thoughts, wisdom, talent, education and good moral character, and to have the ability to make his life develop in the right and bright direction; Another is the master's paintings and calligraphy works. By investing in the collection of these truly classic works, we can cultivate a high-end financial management consciousness with cultural collection consciousness, which is incomparable wealth to any other porcelain and stone.
Historical experience tells us that the wealth of works of art will never be lost because of its cultural connotation, especially the paintings and calligraphy works with independent personality and humanistic artistic spirit will only get bigger and bigger with the passage of time, especially in the event of political turmoil, war and other disasters, several paintings and calligraphy can be easily taken away and realized when the economy recovers. This is the real foundation and charm of art collection, as long as it is safe. Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it will eventually be equal to "zero".
Life is a gamble, and finally you gamble all your capital. If you don't believe me, look at the rich. They will all decline after 50 or 60 years old. When he is worth billions, even billions, he feels that his money can't be spent for generations. If you tell him "you will lose everything next year", he will definitely chase you. Take the current situation as an example. Last year, rich people were everywhere. When I was hit by the international and domestic financial bubble economic situation, I couldn't tell who was really rich or dressed as a rich man by a bank.
So it is impossible for a person to have money, a house and a company. Money is temporary, otherwise it will be gone. A person should have culture. Only culture can make you have ideas, boundaries, awareness and height, so that your life will always shine. Nowadays, people have knowledge and technology, but they lack culture. I don't believe you, many families don't even have a book about Tang poetry and Song poetry. In fact, art investment is a manifestation of cultural accomplishment, a spiritual temperament, a cultural guidance, the best family culture edification and inheritance, and culture is also an important standard for human beings to distinguish from low-level animals and their lifestyles.
Think about it. If your grandfather, even our father's generation, has cultural connotation and likes cultural collection, and collects some works by Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Huang, Huang Zhou, Cheng Shifa and Qi Gong, how rich our family's cultural wealth is. Thirty or forty years ago, the works of these masters were very cheap. Because my predecessors smoked and drank all their lives, I don't know how many good things I bought. Now, however, what our predecessors left to future generations is only a dilapidated old house, even a high-end villa or manor. You will lose all your property overnight under the command of a mayor's secretary who likes to demolish. Therefore, although houses and deposits are also very important, as a family, what we really need is the portability and portability of famous calligraphy and painting like soft gold and soft diamonds.
It is true that children have a long cultural heritage and cultural heritage. The paper life of China's paintings and calligraphy can be kept for 1000 years or even longer if it is kept reasonably. Because you are not a master of painting and calligraphy, no one will remember who you are decades after your death, after your third and fourth generations. However, because the calligraphy and painting you left them can be hung at home, inheriting the cultural and spiritual wealth that can be appreciated and realized, and will always be remembered by your descendants.
Therefore, people live a lifetime, just a few decades, and don't want to live forever, but at least let themselves come to this world for a lifetime, at least let their lives continue to get spiritual comfort. Therefore, for some families with average income, it is the most reliable wealth to seize all kinds of favorable opportunities, take advantage of all possible opportunities, spend some spare money within their power and collect more excellent paintings and calligraphy as soon as possible.
