Spend time on soul
The friend takes me to see a collector’s collection, it is said what he collected is the top thing, it is that the price exceed ten million to bring one at will.

We cross pieces of lane son, in front of coming to an unattractive apartment, am I wondering by oneself in the heart how could the top antique be collected in this kind of place?

The collector has opened the door to spend time on soul, has opened three leaves of stainless steel door continuously, just come into the room. The indoor light is very dim, has waited for several seconds, I adapted to the indoor light, at this moment, see impressively antiques are piled in the whole house, it should be even careful to walk to get more, could advance on one’s side.

All pottery, bronze, tinware everywhere, there is spool of much calligraphy and painting that is inserted in the big jar crowdedly, the host leads us to find the sofa with great difficulty, the sofa is buried in the ancient object is piled too, through some arrangement, we can take a seat.

I do not know how to describe that kind of feeling, the antique is excessively congested, make people seem to place oneself in the midst of the rubbish heap. I expect, any thing can’t be too much, get ” very much ” Intensity, terrible.

All of us like butterflies, but if all over butterfly flies in the room, not beautiful, and then expect the butterfly will give birth to the caterpillar in all over room, how terrible that is.

All of us like birds, but there are too many birds, will hurt one’s feeling, Heakuekirk’s masterpiece ” bird “, that terrific scene remembers the fine hair on the human body should be all held up.

While losting in thought, the host carries out a plate, but it was not tea or coffee that put in the plate, but a record of jade. Because my friend boasts to the master I am an expert, though I, according to doing one’s utmost to deny on the spot, the host justs think I am modest, the collection too impatient to take him should be ” appreciated ” for me .

Like this, I has to one one of piece appreciate, afford to do one’s utmost too, while saying a dark brown jade, I still think: Is not what why is carried out tea?

See malachite, we turn into bedroom of owner think pottery and bronze, I find owner’s bedroom only one bed could shelter oneself, the rest are all piled airtightly from ground to the roof.

Though these ancient copper is all that prices exceed ten million, pile together and can not feel the value of it. See several room later, so, make I a startled one, even kitchens and toilets are piling antiques most still, the host has not opened the partner for a long time.

The antique host tells me, why he chooses to live in the simple and crude lane, afraid of causing the coveting of the ruffian.

And he has set up so many iron gates, has various safe functions, common people spy upon his antique outside the door, can’t even have at one glance even.

The friend adds: “He has loved the ancient object to succeed silly, madam, child can’t stand, immigrants go abroad. ”

The antique host says: “What do woman and child understand? ”

I say to him: “Your ancient object is so costly, so many, why not sell several, bought a large show space, let more people appreciate? In this way, know even place to sit either in the house! ”

He says: “Good antique one are not willing to to sell. ”

He says: “Do and those laymans understand what calls the antique? ”

While taking leave out, I feel that there is some grief, what an amazing antique, all only “  The things ” ,How to compare favourably with the person in love? Besides, in order to occupy antiques, stricken with anxiety and fear while living, like the prisoner occupies several prison cells of iron gate tiredly, like the beggar live in the rubbish heap, uncalled-for?

Moreover, people will all leave the world, just like host in the past of antique in his hand, always have one quarter, know the dual tactics to put, one can’t even take away. Real possession, might not occupy, the real connoisseur of curios, might not be a collector; Appreciate antiques once in a while, go to the Palace Museum to take a walk, spend dozens of yuan ticket, can see the real rare ancient object. Tired, costs dozens of yuan to wish to drink the elite oolong tea in the Palace Museum in the hall in three, is not life the extraordinary pleasure? Came back home, bright and clean, did not need three iron gates to safeguard either, did not need to fight for the position with the merciless thing either, the battle thing without battle is not also fast in the thing!

Our life is so transient, seek and work for to some extent, must be worried to some extent; Persistent to some extent, must fetter to some extent; There are incomes, must lose to some extent.

If we spend time on the wealth goods, have no time to spend in soul.

If we run for the desire day and night, will dawdle and lose one’s own health.

It is silly if we become the pot, the stone is silly, the jade is silly, the ancient object is silly, will forget the world preciousness in love.

Eat a meal, like and drink a cup of tea carefully, it is too happy to have and angry, sleep peacefully in one night to like and have no dream on the first, how much is the value it?

” cross in one hundred flowering shrubs, a leaf is not stained with the body ” . Such life is the life that we yearn for, ” in love ” in one hundred flowering shrubs ,A leaf is not stained with the body “  Awareness ” .

Misunderstand and appreciate, criticize and extol, all like the misty rain in Mount Lushan and tide in Zhejiang, there is not a thing originally.

The best spring tea of last spring, put to losing flavor too this year, so, would drink the spring tea of this year this year.

The spring tea every year is good, this thick pottery teacup before one’s eyes of mine is very good too, antique, ancient object, diamond, pearl, and even the bearing of everything, leave to those persons liking to bear.
