Features: "A Catalog of Chinese Porcelain, Calligraphy and Painting, and Art Crafts at Auction" includes over 2,200 images of artifacts from ancient, modern, and contemporary China related to auctions. The compilers of this book spent nearly two years and a significant amount of effort researching domestic and international materials. From tens of thousands of images, they meticulously compared, selected, and compiled them. The principles and scope of this catalog aim, on one hand, to as comprehensively as possible select famous Chinese ancient and modern calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, jade, and other art crafts with auction reserve prices. On the other hand, considering the limitations of space, items with relatively lower auction prices and those that are common were selected less frequently, while representative and typical items with higher auction prices were selected more. Whether common or rare, high or low in price, we ensured that the selected calligraphy, porcelain, and other categories formed a systematic structure, allowing readers to discern certain patterns. This approach not only broadens readers' exposure but also equips them with more extensive appreciation knowledge, thereby enhancing their ability to identify and appraise artifacts.
