After watching the box office performance of Kunqu Opera, I went to chat with some friends in the teahouse.Topics related to favorites.My assistant E Li collects calligraphy and paintings of famous artists. He carves seals and engraves seals for famous people. Most of them are favored immediately after sending them to him. , is spectacular.Mr. Si collects fine porcelain. He used to focus on ancient porcelain, but recently he also collects new art porcelain. A few days ago, he collected some firewood-fired modernist and post-art porcelain from Mr. Xu Yiqi's private porcelain garden "Le Tao Yuan" in Nangao, eastern suburbs. Modernist ornamental porcelain.Both E and Si are wealthy collectors. Of course, the appreciation of collections is still the first, but they do not shy away from the purpose of selecting famous masterpieces to increase prices over time.Mr. Huo is an interested collector

.He said that when he moved to his new home, he suddenly discovered that there were three old crutches at home, all of which were left by the older generation, and they were not expensive crutches.Unexpectedly, since then, I have become interested in collecting crutches. No matter where I go on a business trip or travel, I always buy one when I see a crutch that is different from my home. Living in the stalls selling crutches, in the end, his family has collected hundreds of crutches with different materials, shapes, colors, origins, and functions. Recently, he has begun to design and make crutches by himself.He said that his crutches are not worth much in total, but for him, crutches have become an important thing to support the fun of life and are indispensable.

Ajaan, a young white-collar in the audience, laughed and said that their collections are too traditional, too materialistic and occupy too much space. He said that his collection is immaterial, and what he is close to is time.It turned out that outside the window of his residence was an old one-story courtyard, which was later demolished. Now there are some affordable housing for residents to move back. His collection was erected on the balcony of his residence in two years. A camera, with regular automatic shooting, took three photos with exactly the same perspective every day at 8:00 am, 14:00 pm, and 8:00 pm, and finally formed a set of more than 2,000 historical materials on spatial changes.At present, he is selecting more than 200 of them and intends to compile them into a book, and asked if he would add text?He said that it was not worthy of words, because the implication of those photos "is beyond words".

Tingting across from me has been silent.I said to her: "It seems that we are the only ones who don't collect things anymore." She shook her head.She is a freelance writer who only writes elegant and not vulgar ones. Recently, she has been conceiving a new Kunqu Opera "Fang Guan". I guess she must be collecting and related materials extensively recently. Unexpectedly, she announced: "I Like Ajaan, it also belongs to the 'non-material collection'." We all know that UNESCO approves some human cultural heritages every year, which are divided into two categories: material and intangible, such as Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, The Ming Tombs in Beijing have recently been approved as tangible human cultural heritage, while Kunqu Opera has been approved as intangible human cultural heritage a few years ago.We asked Tingting exactly what is in the collection?She leisurely said: "Nanjing originally wanted to apply for the ancient city wall of Stone City as a material cultural heritage of mankind, but it was too damaged, and the temporary buildings on both sides of the remnant were difficult to dismantle and clean up for a while, so now it is changed to Applying for the intangible cultural heritage of mankind is the brocade craft. Yunjin is a royal fabric supervised by Cao Xueqin's parents and ancestors. The craft is very unique and the product is very exquisite..." I clapped my hands and said: "Ah, so it turns out You collect brocade!" Tingting smiled: "Why are you so anxious, no, I don't have the brocade mentioned in the application, but it can be compared to brocade... Let me tell you, I have been collecting goodwill all this year Mile!"

It turned out that with the passage of time, Tingting, who is single, encountered more and more dark things in social relationships, and sometimes encountered naked human evil, which caused her mental health to be very problematic for a time, and often the environment was still poor. It wasn't that bad, she herself got nervous first, and took the sound of flowers, shadows and birds as a spell of sword light.So, since last year, she has decided to collect kindness, that is, she insists on collecting even the slightest and fleeting kindness that others give to herself in social relationships every day.She said that within a month of doing this, her mood became much brighter and more optimistic.She gave two examples. One was that one night when she returned to the apartment, she was in the elevator with two other men. After entering, she found that one of them was drunk and was smiling sideways.they are

A small-sized "single noble" apartment, the elevator runs 24 hours, and the owner opens it by himself.That night, the other man was neatly dressed and looked normal. She vaguely remembered that the man lived on the 13th floor below her floor, but when the elevator stopped on the 13th floor, neither of the men got off. When she went out on the first floor, the sober man whispered good night to her, and the elevator door closed, and she suddenly realized that the gentleman did not get out of the elevator on the 13th floor because he was afraid that she would be molested by a drunk.Another example is that in late autumn last year, she called food into the room, and the delivery boy looked like an immature boy. She planted some morning glory on the balcony, and the vines climbed to the top of the window, forming a beautiful curtain for several months. But after the season dried up, she needed to climb up to clean up and pull it out. She really didn't have the energy, so she asked the boy who delivered the food if he could help?The boy got on the chair three times, five times and two times to help her solve the problem. She insisted on tipping the boy 10 yuan in addition to the meal fee. She said that the boy shook his body to avoid her tip and said, "I am determined." I can't have it" is still in front of my eyes.Later she learned that besides food and housing, the young man’s monthly salary was only 250 yuan and he was often owed... "This is the most obvious example," Tingting said, "Actually, you have each given me precious care. Goodwill, that may be more profound, so it may be the most invisible... For example, after watching the box office that time, it was also here. Because of my privacy, I couldn't help my eyes full of tears, but you all noticed it. No one asked me why, just regarded me as a person with normal emotions, and continued to discuss with me on the characterization, wording and sentence making of "Fang Guan"..." Tingting said that not all of the ways she collects these kindness The panorama recorded in the diary is sometimes just a freehand line drawing, or a sentence of Tang poetry and Song poetry, a sentence of English, or even a string of self-created symbols that only she can understand... and check these records in her spare time , Recalling so much kindness in the world, she felt that the lake was full of luxurious brocade...
