Collections are not only valuable but also carry the spirit of a family.<\/p>\n<p>In China, private collection can be divided into four categories: the first is to keep them as family heirlooms and emotional bonds; the second is to transform skills, restoring traditional craftsmanship from old objects; the third is to conduct historical and cultural research with the collections; the fourth is public inheritance, donating to museums to keep the culture alive. Each category goes beyond the material level.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, collecting emphasizes a &#8220;cultural and wealth symbiosis&#8221;, reaching a consensus on the value of collections within the family and seeking professional help to manage them, while planning for future handling. In this way, collections are both a liquid asset and a &#8220;cultural household register&#8221; of the family.<\/p>\n<p>The key to collecting lies in the mutual achievement of money and culture. Wealth provides the material foundation for cultural inheritance, while culture gives wealth a spiritual depth beyond money. Only through dynamic protection and innovation can family legacies and cultural treasures be passed down continuously.<\/p>\n<p>Buying a house is a basic need for survival, while collecting is the pursuit and protection of one&#8217;s &#8220;roots&#8221;.<br \/>\nThere is much more to collecting. That&#8217;s all for today. We&#8217;ll continue next time.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#038;#8221&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8110,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mr-shan","post_format-post-format-video","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8109"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8111,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8109\/revisions\/8111"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
