收藏,是人类的一种本能。在距今20万年前旧石器时代的遗址中,就出土过早期人类用磨制方法串成的贝壳项链。收藏,又是一种储藏财物的手段。在中国古代,贝壳曾经被作为货币——因为它不但好收藏,可以作为装饰品,而且成为人们容易接受的一般等价物。收藏还是一种传承文明行为,也是一种投资。 Collection, is a human instinct. In the Paleolithic site 200,000 years ago, unearthed shells necklaces that were worn by human beings in the early years. Collection, but also a means of storing property. In ancient China, the shell was once used as a currency - for it was not only a good collection but an ornament as well as a general equivalent that people could easily accept. Collection is also a kind of heritage of civilization, but also an investment.
