　　Mr. Feng Jicai once wrote "The Strange People in the World", recording "all kinds of strange people and wonderful things" in Tianjin Wei.。He said: "Tianjin Weiben is a land and water wharf, the residents are a mixture of five sides, the character is very different。However Yanzhao old place, blood and gas strong;Water, salt, soil and alkali, strong habits。In the past hundred years, all the great disasters in China have borne the brunt, because of the birth of various strange characters, both in the prominent upper class, but also in the public。”

　　Among the strange people in Tianjin, collectors are one of the groups that cannot be ignored。Tianjin has a long history of folk collection, which is not unrelated to the urban characteristics of the rise of water transport and sea transport and the gathering of a large number of merchants。

　　During the period of the Republic of China, a group of big collectors gathered on the Fifth Avenue of Tianjin。Xu Shizhang, the tenth brother of Xu Shichang, the president of the People's Republic, is one of the representative figures。He loves collecting ancient inkstones and spends a lot of money on them。From 1934 to 1937, during the four years alone, he spent more than 40,000 yuan on the purchase of ink stones。He had bought a Jin Dynasty Dading red imam small inkstone, so the inkstone is extremely rare, Xu Shizhang is almost with the same weight of this ink stone bought gold。

　　These collectors are not only collectors of art treasures, but also protectors of national culture。The Tianjin Museum has a collection of more than 1,800 precious oracle bones, of which more than 800 were donated to the country by Wang Xiang, a major collector in Tianjin, in 1953。In 1965, his relatives donated a total of 748 pieces of Wang Xiang's calligraphy, manuscripts and cultural relics to the country。

　　Jinmen culture is rich in heritage, and there is no shortage of strange people in contemporary times。Most of them are obsessed with focusing on a certain line, or in the professional field, or famous in the city, and their tireless spirit and optimistic attitude have injected new vitality into the city of Tianjin。

　　There are also folk collectors among Jinmen's contemporary wonders。Folk collections are flourishing in Tianjin. What collectors hide is their attitude towards tradition and life, the old shadow of history, and the blood of culture。

　　In the Chinese art and all the collection activities, we had the honor to get acquainted with these Tianjin collectors, not only to appreciate a lot of rare collections, but also to appreciate the style of Jinmen collectors。From them, we have a deeper understanding of the value and significance of collection, which can be said to benefit a lot。From August 24 to 25, China Art and the global collection of 2019 Autumn Auction will enter Tianjin and meet with Jinmen collectors again。The scope of the collection includes Chinese calligraphy and painting, porcelain, jade, Buddha, purple sand, furniture crafts, national stone seal cutting, antique curios, ancient books, stone tablets, celebrity letters, stamp coins, celebrity handwriting, gold and silver utensils, etcAll kinds of。We sincerely look forward to Tianjin collectors coming to the scene, sharing the joy of collection with us, and sharing the beauty of art。
