In today's auction held by the company, one deal can be much higher than that sales revenue, but however, 1.70 million yuan at that time was a hit. It was a shock and activated the tradition market of calligraphy and paintings! The market of arts flourished!

Since 1840, due to the historic reason, may best collections of art were lost overseas. At the end of 1945 when the WWII ended, the collections of Shenyang Imperial Palace were all lost, and most of them were collected overseas. Foreign museums and collectors all collected many ancient Chinese works of art, for example, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in US and British Museum all collected many Chinese works of art, and many are rare ones.
The reform of China greatly improved the Chinese life and created a condition for these works of art to return, and especially after the law of relics was enacted, the well functioned rules and policies provided a vast space for the integration between the domestic and foreign market. The simplified procedure for the exit and entry of relics made the return of these relics return more smoothly and freely. The expansion of Chinese market in the transactions of works of art made these works of art more fairly valued and accelerated the return process.
In 2002, we have met the first peak of returning relics to China , and the auction on the returned relics has achieved success in sales record; after 2003, the inflow auction was always a hot point and was welcomed by collectors.
The back flowed art is not only a supplement to the national collection, but also make many precious art flow into the public, and as the back- flow hot, a substantial market is emerging and entering into a flourishing stage.
Accompanied the founding of the company is a process of purification, a pursuit for longing success, and this has not been changed for the past ten years.
