Features: Collecting activities are composed of various factors, but the main two are the collector and the collectible. Collectibles refer to the objects of collecting. Theoretically speaking, any item that exists in nature and is produced by human wisdom, and can be collected by people, is considered a "collecting object." Today's collectibles are diverse and encompass everything, ranging from large items like airplanes and tanks to small ones like stamps and diamonds. Even intangible things like gases and sounds have become popular collectibles. However, since ancient times, calligraphy and painting, jade, porcelain, bronze wares, and handicrafts have been highly valued by collectors. The older, rarer, and more exquisite the items, the more they are cherished by collectors.
