/Brother Gu Zhaifeng: Gao Zhifeng/
Areas of expertise: Ming and Qing porcelain, blue and white, pastel; He has been engaged in porcelain collection, management and research for more than 12 years.
Background: Brother Feng can be regarded as a "family of antiques", and his uncle, uncle and many cousins in the family are deeply involved in the field of antique art, and he has been immersed in this strong cultural atmosphere since he was a child. In his early years, he opened a shop with his uncle in the Fanjiajing area of Jingdezhen, specializing in antique porcelain, which not only allowed him to witness the exquisite craftsmanship of Jingdezhen's high imitation technology and the subtlety of complex crafts such as aging and post-coloring, but also accumulated valuable experience in practice. With the transformation of the store, Brother Feng turned to focus on the management and research of old porcelain, and he devoted himself to this field, constantly exploring and identifying, and gradually building a deep understanding and unique insights into ancient porcelain.
His in-depth knowledge of antique porcelain in his early years laid a solid foundation for his learning journey, enabling him to quickly and accurately gain insight into the essence of new and old porcelain and determine its age, even in the face of a complex number of new imitation crafts, he could quickly identify its source with keen intuition. After more than 10 years of tempering and precipitation, Brother Feng has formed his own unique insights and systems in the new and old porcelain dynasties in the antique industry, and his professionalism and profound heritage have won wide recognition in the industry.
The following is an exclusive interview with the new ceramic expert on the Yujian APP platform - "Brother Gao Zhifeng", let us listen to how he has achieved himself in the field of antique art with his unique vision and keen insight.
Q1: How do you view antiques in your collecting career?
For the collection, it is actually a test of the collector's own knowledge and cultivation, a competition of eyesight among Tibetan friends, and a kind of fun enjoyment and spiritual support. One after another antique artworks in silent language, like our modern people continue to tell historical stories, like we convey the wisdom and wisdom of our ancestors.
If the authenticity of antiques and artworks is clear to collectors, people will lose the spirit and fun of adventure and exploration. Collecting is actually a kind of advanced knowledge, for the collectors who are just getting started, we must get started as soon as possible, master some correct ways to identify antiques, only in this way can the road of collection be able to get twice the result with half the effort, reduce the possibility of going astray.
I have my own "secret" for the identification of the old and the new - the nine-character formula. Mainly around the nine directions of the utensils, such as tire, glaze, type, material, pattern, style, trace, quantity, and rhyme, we start to distinguish the true from the false. Each era has unique characteristics that will allow you to get started quickly.
Q2: What is the prospect of antiques and artworks in the current collector's market?
The profound traditional culture of the mainland with its unique charm still attracts the hearts of many people, and the wisdom and beauty contained in the traditional culture are far from being comparable to shallow entertainment. The field of collecting antiques and artworks is also showing broad prospects for development. Although not everyone can grasp the full picture of the history and culture of the mainland, the museums and libraries scattered throughout the country have become a bridge between the past and the present, allowing the public to easily explore the footprints of history. The antique, calligraphy and painting art collection market has become a living learning hall, bringing together collectors from all walks of life, where they learn from each other, explore together, and constantly improve their appreciation ability and artistic accomplishment.
In this context, the importance of continuous learning has become more and more prominent. Only by constantly learning new knowledge and mastering cutting-edge skills can we keep up with the pace of the times and not be eliminated by the times. This is particularly important in the field of antique identification. Appraisers not only need to have solid professional knowledge, but also need to uphold high professional ethics, that is, "integrity-based, seeking truth from facts". In the face of antiques, we must have a sense of awe, tell the truth, don't read if you don't understand, and can't talk nonsense if you understand. In this way, the healthy order of the antique market can be maintained, and the inheritance and development of culture can be promoted.
Q3: What are your experiences in the process of collecting?
In the field of antique identification, the most effective method is a large number of physical hands-on contact and practical experience accumulation.
Through frequent buying and selling exchanges, you can not only directly observe the texture, craftsmanship, pulp and other details of various antiques, but also deeply understand the subtle differences between authenticity and authenticity in practice, so as to gradually improve your identification vision and collection level. Every time I have a new collection, I analyze the characteristics and compare the differences around the identification of the nine-character formula. This process not only tests the professional knowledge of the appraiser, but also requires his or her keen insight and extensive experience.
In my opinion, the greatest value of collecting antiques and works of art lies not only in the economic value of the collection itself, but also in the in-depth understanding and exploration of the historical and cultural connotations behind the collection through this process, which is the true charm of antiques. Being able to collect genuine products is undoubtedly a rare luck and fate. However, collecting antiques is within your means, and you should not blindly follow trends or buy impulsively. Collecting should be a rational cultural pursuit, not a blind investment behavior. Plan your collection to make sure your collection is both fun and secure.
