中国有着几千年的文明历史,在历史中,文物的买卖和流通早有记载。变化了的是,过去的文物市场是少数知识分子和达官显贵的去处,以后又是洋人的专享,而现在,一些有眼光的企业和小富起来的中产阶级也开始进入这个市场了。中国近代史中经历了一百多年的动乱,生产力被反复破坏,因此民间文物收藏几尽绝迹。现在又有可能从新开始了,这大概也算是一种接续传统的过程吧。 China has a history of thousands of years of civilization. In history, the sale and circulation of cultural relics has long been documented. What has changed is that in the past, the cultural relics market was the place where a few intellectuals and dignitaries were dignified and later the exclusive enjoyment of foreigners. Now, some promising enterprises and the wealthy middle class are beginning to enter this market. In the modern history of China, which experienced over one hundred years of turmoil and productivity was repeatedly destroyed, the collection of folk relics was almost exhausted. Now it is possible to start again, which is probably a continuation of the traditional process.
