The purpose of compiling this book is to disseminate correct and scientific knowledge of artifact collection, guiding consumers to make rational purchases and avoid being misled by the market or erroneous theories. This volume, Identification·Wood Artifacts, is rich in content and innovative in structure. The wood artifacts collected in this volume are primarily from private collections, with some being auctioned items. In the book, they are broadly categorized into four chapters: Bamboo Artifacts, Wood Carvings, Furniture, and Others, for introduction. Each type includes elements such as name, origin, era, specifications, rarity, collector, expert valuation, and appreciation potential. The book also provides objective evaluations of the artistic, technological level, and cultural collection value of each artifact. These evaluations are comprehensive conclusions based on the intrinsic value of the artifacts, taking into account recent trends in the artifact and art market. The book has three distinctive features: First, it is the first to determine the rarity of private collections using a ten-level system, i.e., quality grade. Second, it evaluates the intrinsic value based on the artifact's academic and artistic significance and surviving quantity, which may not necessarily align with current market prices. Third, it provides a comprehensive assessment and prediction of the artifact's value, indicating the potential for future appreciation and offering collectors a relatively scientific reference and basis. These features reflect the book's compilation purpose: to disseminate correct and scientific knowledge of artifact collection, guiding consumers to make rational purchases and avoid being misled by the market or erroneous theories.
