Features: The collection of ancient jade has become quite common and popular. The number of collectors is continuously increasing, but genuine ancient jade pieces are becoming rarer. Especially in the antiques market, the quantity of imitation ancient jade has far exceeded that of genuine pieces, and in many cities' antiques markets, it is almost impossible to find a single genuine Ming and Qing dynasty jade piece. Moreover, some so-called genuine jade pieces are actually high-quality fakes, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and fake. Therefore, after extensive practice, the author suggests that collectors of ancient jade should, before starting their collection, first approach the jade material. It is advisable to find a fragment of a genuine ancient jade piece to learn the difference between old and new jade. Then, purchase a common genuine jade piece and try to compare them. The book is intended to inspire you to learn some basic knowledge and principles, but it also requires continuous understanding through practice to truly master and identify genuine ancient jade pieces.
