1. Rare things are precious, which is an idiom of China. This idiom comes from Bai Juyi's "Talking about the Full Moon of Children and grandchildren when I was young" in the Tang Dynasty: "Things are rare, but they are more kind because of old age." It means that things are regarded as precious because of scarcity, and the love or affection of the elderly has become deeper and more loving because of the precipitation of years.
2. It is a common economic principle that things are rare. It means that in the commodity market, if the quantity of a commodity is relatively small, then the value of this commodity will be relatively high, because it is scarce.
This principle is widely used. For example, in the art market, the value of a famous painting is often much higher than that of mass-produced goods, because the number of famous paintings is limited and the demand is high. Similarly, some limited-edition luxury goods, such as limited-edition shoes and bags, will be much more expensive than ordinary goods because of their limited quantity.
