1. Basic definition of spark. In different historical periods or different eras, the essential attributes and social attributes of this collection object, as well as its value, use value and main circulation form. Academically, the main views, opinions and their influence and role on the basic definition of this collection object in the collecting community in different periods or different eras.
2． The evolution of Spark. The origin of this collection object and the historical background of its production, its main manifestations and essential characteristics in different historical periods or different eras, and its various relationships with society.
3. The material and spiritual meaning of sparks. In this regard, various research topics can be set up around the status of this collection object in history and reality, its role and influence in the field of folk collection culture, as well as its peripheral relationship with other collection disciplines, and a series or special academic discussion can be launched.
4． Principles and methods of spark academic research. The main content of this proposition is that the topic selection, argumentation and achievement of the results of this kind of research must pay attention to respecting history, respecting science and seeking positive social effects, etc. The constraint mechanism and operating mechanism accordingly introduced.
5. Spark Collection Organization. Collection organizations with sparks as collection objects are divided into two types: activity type and academic type. The former is mainly about collection exchanges, and the latter is mainly about academic exchanges. The basic functions of the two are different, but they can both reflect the collectors or collection research. The relationship between the author and the collection object. The connotation and extension of the culture that arises from these relationships are also an indispensable part of spark collection science, and different angles can be chosen according to different eras to record the trajectory of its development and changes.
6． Spark Collection Lectures. In a sense, this kind of lecture is one of the ways to disseminate the origin of collection, its basic theories and research results. It also has its specific nature and internal rules to follow. It is important for the popularization of collection knowledge and the construction of collection team. Its effect is not ordinary.
7. Spark collection display. The standardization and flexibility embodied in the local process have its principles and methods that can be followed, and there are also operating principles in terms of the balance between the expected purpose and the actual effect. And its characteristics that are different from other types in general and special situations are also obvious, but we can learn from the experience displayed by other types.
8． Spark Collection Writings. This point is based on the collection, organization and research of materials and the combination with collection practice. Academic diversity, genreism, etc., can all be included in this category, and the publication of works can be considered aside.
9. Spark Research Publications. It directly or indirectly records collection activities in various periods, conveys various collection information, and truly reflects the historical trend of collection. It often becomes a reference under specific conditions due to the editor's purpose of running the journal, similarities and differences in style and level. A mirror of experience summary or historical reflection. It is of great significance and role to discover the connotation of collection culture and to judge and obtain direction guidance.
10. Spark Collection Market. Its growth and maturity process is nothing but a process of adjustment of interests among collectors and continuous adjustment of the collection transaction pattern. The various changes related to the daily growth and decline of this process, in addition to adjusting the circulation mode and transaction price of the market, the establishment and improvement of collectors' market awareness are probably the source of the market's existence and cannot be influenced by it.
11. Spark Collection Information. The manner and means of its transmission. The distance of transmission, as well as the effects of processing and transformation, can reflect the overall or partial collection quality and capabilities of a period or period of time. The prosperity and progress of the collection industry depends to a large extent on people's ability to develop and utilize information.
12． Spark Collector. Generally, people distinguish collectors from non-collectors based on the effectiveness, role and influence of collection, and focus their attention on collectors.
The cultural phenomenon formed by the practice of one or some collectors has become the focus of people's attention.
13． Spark collection legislation. It includes collectors' conscious compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of national collections and private collections and abide by the unwritten rules established by society. On this basis, a certain form of collection is launched that conforms to the characteristics of spark collections and is used to adjust the communication process of collectors. Stakeholder Code of Conduct.
3. The role and significance of establishing spark collection science. Spark collection is an integral and important part of Chinese folk collection culture. Since the 1980s, it has ranked second only to stamp collecting among the top ten private collection projects in China. The folk collection of sparks has a history of more than 50 years. At its peak, there were 300,000 collectors. There are tens of thousands of varieties of sparks from different periods in the world, with hundreds of millions in existence. This undoubtedly laid a rich foundation for the collection and research of sparks. material basis, and provides a realistic possibility for the establishment of spark collection science. At the same time, this reality may also be reflected in the fact that after more than ten years of collection research, we have had constructive academic debates on a number of major theoretical issues in spark collections, have gained preliminary political knowledge, and have continued in an in-depth direction. Through exploration and unremitting efforts, the Chinese spark collection community has cultivated a group of collection theoretical backbones and theoretical practical talents with great research potential and broad vision. Compared with foreign collection circles, China's theoretical research on spark collection has its own characteristics and advantages. Therefore, it is a natural step to inherit the past and open up the future, and to establish a spark collection with Chinese characteristics. And the establishment of this subject will practically push spark collection, a kind of folk culture that is beneficial to social spiritual civilization, to a new height. It is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1. It promotes the transformation of China's spark collection community from simple collection and shallow scattered collection research to complete, systematic and scientific collection theory research, using theory to guide practice and improving the overall quality of the collection team. This change allows the older generation of collectors to update their concepts, review and summarize their decades of collecting practice in a timely manner, and serve their collection results in the study of collection theory, so that they can exert social benefits and have more realistic and long-term significance. ; And for the new generation of collectors to achieve lofty goals, shouldering the research on collection and collection theory, promoting the basic construction of collection theory, and taking the road of collecting to become talents and build a family, it also has an motivating effect. Improvement of the overall quality of the collection team. In fact, it is also a potential possibility for us to create more and greater opportunities and a practical preparation that will definitely earn benefits in the future.
2． It encourages people to combine their own collection practice with collection theory, be good at upgrading the results of practice to theory, generate more benefits, and achieve the best social benefits of collection. In this regard, it is possible to turn research results into patents; it is also possible to propose new viewpoints and new methods on a certain theoretical issue, and to create one's own theory; it is not impossible to use some kind of foresight and foresight. As long as the correct approach to research angles and the scientific selection of methods become the key for people to study and solve problems, all ideals will not be far away from us.
3. Promote the prosperity of academic research and make due efforts and contributions to the promotion and development of folk collection culture. The Chinese spark collection community has used its own wisdom and strength to become an aspect of the construction of folk collection culture. As early as the 1980s, when it founded the magazine "China Sparks" and organized the All-China Sparks Association, it conducted a successful review. This success Continuing, and the current society provides us with difficult opportunities, there is no doubt that the unprecedented prosperity of academics can achieve greater glory. There is no redundant choice, this is the most appropriate.
Four. Establish a Spark Collection with Chinese characteristics. There is no doubt that starting from China's national conditions, we need to correctly handle several relationships, dialectically handle various issues related to this from a high degree of history and reality, and create an environment that is conducive to the establishment, growth and ultimate independence of this discipline. The complete system stands in the internal and external environment of the social academic forest, allowing it to act on people's collection practices and be tested from people's collection practices to achieve a high degree of unity combining theory and practice and realize its social value.
Here, as far as people’s existing collection practices and the current status of various historical reasons in this practice process are concerned, there are several relationships that must be dealt with scientifically and rationally, which are:
1． Establish the relationship between spark collection science and the study of China's match industry. Sparks are a product of the match industry and are closely related to the rise and fall of the match industry. The match industry is the basic source of collection objects in the spark collection world and the material pillar of this folk collection. Theoretically speaking, the research process of spark collection should not be disconnected from the match industry, and in some cases, the status of the latter is often higher above the former. However, the study of spark collection we are going to establish now needs to separate the two in a big way and focus mainly on sparks. In other words, we should conduct academic research centered on sparks and focus on exploring various social behaviors in the spark collection and research process. . Research on the history of the match industry will only involve or make extensive references when exploring the source of sparks and studying some of its characteristics, such as compiling spark catalogues. This shift, for some collectors, may have snubbed the history of the match industry and pushed it aside. This is of course not advisable. It is true that if people do not shift their main energy to the theory of spark collection and do not change the focus of research, it will be impossible to establish a true science of spark collection. Since the 1980s, people have devoted almost all their energy and considerable time to the research of the match industry, and have achieved results in identifying concepts such as spark staging, early sparks and "pseudo flowers" and in organizing spark catalogs. , which provided the conditions for us to establish spark collection science now. This contribution should be highly valued historically. But the problem is that the establishment of Spark Collection Studies has basically completed its historical mission. People start from the social and practical needs that are more in line with collection practice to carry out work that is more meaningful and has greater practical value. Of course, they are consistent. It will not be difficult to properly handle the relationship between spark research and match industry history research.
2． Establish the relationship between spark collection science with Chinese characteristics and the utilization and reference of outstanding foreign spark theory research results and experiences. This kind of treatment should be based on the height that all excellent cultures and their achievements are precious and unique wealth of mankind. They can be used by us and cannot be refused out of our sight. Matches are an imported product, full of foreign culture in spark design and printing, which once had a greater or lesser impact on our local culture. In the early days, our Spark design was imitated, indirectly or directly grafted and transplanted. In the end, through this process of reference, we found our own way and came up with something that is more in line with our national conditions, people's sentiments and our aesthetic needs. . In terms of spark collection research and basic theoretical construction, we have a better start than others. Adopting the "use doctrine" in areas where we are most in need is actually conducive to shortening the distance between us and others, allowing us to spend less time and make fewer detours. Or avoid repeating the path that others have taken, and instead invest less and do our work with more output. Especially when it comes to the structure and actions of collection organizations, we draw on and make use of other people's existing experiences and achievements. The Spark Collection Studies we established must have a realistic attitude and a vision for future predictions when discussing this issue. All of these, to mention a few, must be fully paid attention to and highly valued in our practice.
3. Establish the relationship between spark collection science and the digestion, absorption and utilization of beneficial parts of postology. Sparkles and stamps are both square-inch objects, commonly known as sisters. From a cultural perspective, one can be called a folk business card, and the other can be called a national business card. Although they have similarities and differences in value and use value, their cultural essences have the same origin. There are unusual similarities in many aspects such as their historical evolution, academic structure, and collection methods. Even the aesthetic activities involved in the creation process of these two themes that collection literature may focus on are essentially different* **Go here. It is undoubtedly important and necessary for Spark Collection to draw the nutrients needed to establish Spark Collection from postal science and learn from certain academic forms and norms of Postal Science. At least while learning from others, I can promote my strengths and be eclectic, so that I can establish my own unique image.
There is a lot of work to be done to establish the Spark Collection, and it also requires our wisdom and efforts.
In the current situation where the foundation is still relatively weak and there are not many problems and difficulties, it is important to be united and unswerving. Through the joint efforts of everyone, we believe that we can truly achieve our goals, which is something we can expect rather than a long-term goal.
Talk about Spark Collection
Spark collection is a kind of knowledge, and its content mainly includes the understanding of collection objects and the processing of all relationships. The so-called understanding means having a general understanding of the history, current situation and basic characteristics of the collection objects (including their value and use value), constantly improving the level of appreciation, summarizing knowledge in a timely manner, and accumulating experience. The so-called handling of all relationships between collection objects mainly involves straightening out the relationship between domination and dominance, value and use value, and collection interests and social interests in the collection process.
The understanding of collection objects is generally a process from shallow to deep, and from deep to shallow. The completion of this process can be said to be true knowledge and has accumulated a certain amount of experience. The handling of all relationships between collection objects runs through the entire collection practice. With the progress of society and its support and promotion of collection culture, society will regulate and protect people's collection practices and handle certain relationships in the form of laws. At the same time, society may also fail to provide guidance on the handling of certain potential collection relationships. For example, the legal vacuum that exists in the collection exchange process has not yet been filled, and it may not be handled well in the future. Laws often focus on consequences, but control and participation in the process often appear weak. These are all problems that people's collection practice faces and must solve. The handling of this relationship may be the most important and most labor-intensive, this one.
The second relationship to be dealt with is the value relationship. Nowadays, people mainly focus on amateur collection. This will change in a few years. Professional collection will maximize its benefits. Once it becomes a social division of labor and the achievement of the collection market, it will deal with the relationship between the value and use value of collection objects and the collection. Transactional relationships require a social value model for people to follow. In this regard, people can trust that the establishment of collection science and collection market science may provide theoretical basis to a certain extent, but practice is also inseparable from the principles recognized by people and the methods and measures adopted, which may be a more difficult relationship to deal with.
Third, the emergence of value relationships requires the adjustment of people's moral standards, and the process of changes in various interpersonal relationships cannot be smooth sailing. If people can still turn a blind eye or be pessimistic and disappointed with the tragedies and comedies caused by interest relationships that are being staged in the auction market, this is exactly the social relationship that people must solve or adjust. The moral level reflected by responsibility should be placed at the forefront in people's collection practices.
Fourth, private collections, including the Spark Collection, are an integral part of the success or failure of the national cultural relics undertaking. The relationship between collectors and the country should be reflected in a combination of paid and free gifts and enthusiastic support, so as to achieve the best combination of what each needs and obtains balance. The establishment and long-term existence of this relationship, in the final analysis, are the foundation of social collection culture and the basic driving force for the growth of this culture. It seems that the road people have to walk is very broad and arduous, but they will definitely go on.
