Features: To facilitate artifact enthusiasts and antique collectors in accessing relevant materials more easily and comprehensively, comparing the artistic characteristics and market prices of artifacts across different periods, and drawing on relevant artifact expertise for appreciation and collection, we have specially compiled all pertinent data from the offerings of over twenty popular artifact auction houses in recent years. We have also invited professionals with long-term experience in artifact operations to categorize and systematically arrange this series of artifact appreciation books. The book focuses on introducing the basic knowledge and artistic value of artifacts, with a clear and coherent thread, comprehensive and rich content, striving to achieve popularization, professionalism, and knowledge, so that readers of all levels can benefit and gain inspiration. Since the appreciation level of an appraiser determines their ability to discern authenticity and quality, it is essential to improve one's own appreciation level. This series of books, featuring artifacts commonly found in Chinese folk culture—such as ceramics, jade, calligraphy and painting, and miscellaneous items—represents the development of Chinese civilization and fully showcases the essence of Chinese cultural art, greatly benefiting artifact collectors in enhancing their personal appreciation skills. The Antique Quick Reference Guide is divided into five volumes: Ceramics, Jade, Miscellaneous, Chinese Calligraphy and Painting, and Western Painting. It includes auction results and item images from over forty auction houses in cities and regions such as New York, Christie's, London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Tianjin, and Yunnan from 1996 to 2005. This volume is Chinese Calligraphy and Painting.
