Looking back upon the Chinese market of bronze statue in 2007, you can describe it as popular outside the country but dull inside. Although during a whole years wait, the domestic market did not bring us a surprise but recession for a time, we still can feel recognition of Chinese bronze statue from the overseas market. In another word, it proves that Chinese bronze statues are kind of world art and the focus of the collectors on the earth.
The year of 2007 was the most significant year in terms of the market transition for the entire Chinese market in the field of collection. The collection market had suffered the triple whammy respectively from the real estate market, stock market and the capital fund finally slowed down the pace of progress. Nearly 80% of the bronze sculpture in this year domestic auction failed to be sold because of low bids. The sale of bronze mirrors of China Guardian Auction Fall Session was the last special auction of 2007. Therefore, it drew more attention of the collectors in the bronze statue. Overall 118 pieces of bronze mirrors and 7 pieces of bronze statues had attracted nearly 300 people to come to the scene taking part in biding. Anyhow, that auction did not emerge the excited and ecstatic scene and the transaction price was concentrated on the scope of the valuation. Unexpectedly, the finale seven bronze statues received a cold acceptation and chill welcome, except the first bronze statue of the Warring States made a deal at the price of 9000 yuan, a little more than the valuation. Two pieces clinched a bargain at the rock-bottom valuation by only one bid and four failed to sell.
At the time that the whole bronze statue circle was confused for the china bronze market of 2007, one auction called the national treasures of overseas returnees once again ignited the enthusiasm to the bronze industry. It is reported that four national treasures would be auctioned at the end of 2007, and the valuation exceeded more than 70 million yuan. In this connection, the organizers deliberately carried on an expert appraisal, in which these experts were from the Place in Taiwan and mainland. Actually it is more like a blind date among these experts rather than an appraisal. Hundreds of media took turns to make a clueless point. Furthermore, the experts categorically and resolutely asserted that these returnees as rare artifacts were precious legacies of the old dynasty. Nobody was worthy of these treasures except aristocracies and nobilities. Even the proficient of the Imperial Palace in Beijing took their time to compose articles for these bronze statues and publish them in the art magazines in the relevant of collections. Overnight, they seemed to wake up the whole year market of bronze statue and even the whole art markets. Domestic collectors were no doubt that entrust their hopes to the four national treasures which could activate the auction market can activate and welcomed the recovery in the market of chinese bronze collection of 2008. These four national treasures consisted of the hook between the Warring States Period and the Western Han Dynasty which were known as the the first hook of China, two pieces of lacquer works restricted by Liu Xiu, the Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty and the four sheep bronze square pot.
But just before the auction, a dramatic scene took place. In the appraising meeting of the experts pre-show, the four so-called national treasures had been identified by four connoisseurs in the Palace Museum of Beijing and one in Ezhou. According to the media reports, among the four national treasures had been identified by the Bureau of Cultural Relics, three of them turned out to be forgeries. Before the identification of the other bronze statue being announced, Bureau of Cultural Relics issued a punishment of withdrawing the four bronze statues before the auction. This action definitely poured could water to the last hope of the china bronze sculpture market.

New economic policies for development of tie guan yin tea
On the basis of the policy support, we create more of a need to think about the root causes of the status quo and how to grasp the opportunity to change the status quo and promote development. That means establishing farming managerial recording system in planting part to monitor the tea garden security through; establishing standing account system in processing part to show origin of tie guan yin tea leaves and procedure.
First, the decline in tea exports, on the one hand by the financial crisis, but more of a need to think about their own problems Anxi tea industry. Why is there the problem of declining exports of tea. Establishing information managerial system in supervising part to file the tie guan yin tea information over the county.Whether there are pesticide residues in tea quality is really up product requirements of importing countries, if these problems can not be resolved, even if the financial crisis, Anxi tea exports also will continue to face such problems and these problems are the most fundamental constraint on the important issues Anxi tea exports.
Second, domestic demand flat state, the composition of financial crisis, but little effect on the financial crisis, but the main factors affecting domestic demand, the tea is the tea of China's wind limits are people's understanding of tea consumption also with not as developed countries, China's per capita tea consumption smaller than Europe. In Anxi tie guan yin tea enterprises, all principals accepted an interview happened to say the same sentence: quality security is the foundation and soul of enterprise development.Survey, the Chinese tea consumption per capita of only 500 grams, it is the British more than four times.
Third, the lack of well-known brand of tea companies, decentralized production and operation highlights. Anxi County, the development of tea production in a household or small workshop model-based, small-scale enterprises, the number of widely distributed, hindering the implementation of standardized tea industry. This phenomenon in the country's tea-producing region is widespread. tie guan yin tea produce there is mostly exported to Japan where requires the strictest quality security, but the tea has never been checked with quality problems such as pesticide residue or superscale of heavy metal.According to statistics, the prefix under 12 provincial tea companies, only four are registered trademarks. National tea production and processing enterprises 67000, only nearly a thousand a registered trademark of tea, can be regarded as almost no brand. The formation of the brand are many causes, with little financial crisis, but there is also constrained the development of tea in China an important issue.
Fourth, the tea standardization system is not perfect. At present, the development of national standards related to tea, industry standards and provincial level over 470 more than local standards, but there is no uniform national standards or industry standards, a variety of different standards. The picking and facturing work should be done by groups to collect samples to detect and then seal up all the samples for keeping while put the eligible primary tieguanyin tea in warehouse.Uneven, and difficult for enterprises to choose to implement. While the majority of personnel involved in tea is not strong sense of standardization. Anxi County, with nearly 100 million people involved in tea, as less-developed long-term education located in the mountains, most of the employees and the lower level of farmers, and some knowledge of standard tea do not understand or can not learn through the school; some standard consciousness, from learning to use, bring to the difficulty of implementing standardized tea.
The imitations of the bronze sculpture produce by Li are not huge as well as the ones in other villagers. Anyhow, there is always an exception. That day the writer have encountered a 3meter-high ding. It was a square bronze statue with beast face modeled on the one found in Luoyang. It stood safely and securely in the center of the yard, magnificent and gorgeous. You can feel a sense of ambition which did not belong to his era coming out from the tripod.
The owner is Fang Dongxin, 29 years old and a father of two children, has a strong and high body as his bronze statue. He has begun to learn to cast dings since he graduated from the high school. By now, it has been decades.
Standing before his self-satisfied work, Fang described to me the origin of this ding. It is 3.3 meters high and cost one and a half tons of copper. From the beginning to the end, he has spent more than a half year. I have long wanted to make a biggest ding to prove my capability. In addition, now the price of copper plus other materials have been rising. I transformed these materials into a ding which can not be devalued on the one hand. On the other, if some one wishes to buy it, it is still a collection. Then the writer was curious about how would Fang get the huge china bronze sculpture out of the yard if some one had bought it. He laugher, It is easy. I can hire a hoist to lift it up and move out. If this way fails, I will tear off the wall.
How much are you going to sell it? The writer is a little concerned about the price of this ding. Fang answered, It depends. At least the bronze statue will worth more than 100,000 for it is no longer a pile of copper but a piece of artwork. The copper has a price bur the art is priceless.
In the Smoke Stream, the skilful and fine craftsmen specializing in imitating the ancient china bronze statue are everywhere. Many villagers productions are rich in species and good in quality and are prevalent in the customers. Lu Junwei also told me that the imitations in the village have sold well in the Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Quite a few have been exported to Japan, America, Germany, France, and Canda and so on. Dozens of museum at home have preserved the imitations produced by the villagers. Some bosses of the private enterprise even bought the huge bronze statue to place on the conspicuous position as artworks.
At the time Lu Junwei seeing me off at the entrance of the village, he told the writer that, Now the price of copper has been rising and the profits of the sales of the imitations are much lower than few years ago. But, the villagers have not stopped to produce. The reason is simple which is that the productions of the chinese bronze statue are much better than tilling the land. Many villagers are now building new house, buying cars and extend the scale of the productions, which have proved that the income based on the imitations is considerable and the potential of the market is large and the prospects for developing still wide.
