Collector displays Chinese wares exported to Europe

About 60 pieces of Chinese porcelain, dating to the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, are on display at Beihai Park in Beijing. The antiques are collected by Fei Yuliang. [Photo provided to China Daily]

Fei Yuliang sees the connections between traditional Chinese martial arts and collecting antiques.

"Collecting Chinese antiques is about traditional culture. So is traditional martial arts," he says.

Experienced kung fu practitioners have a good understanding of aesthetics, which makes them fast learners in collecting antiques, he explains.

"Kung fu is an art of the physique," he says. "A good antique also usually possesses a beautiful shape."

Fei Yuliang's collections include porcelain products, Buddha figures, jade and Chinese calligraphy and paintings.

"You are always dazzled by antiques at overseas auction houses," he says.

"When an opportunity presents itself, you seize it. Most pieces back then were genuine."
