As a doctor, Liu Zhubai can always put
The experience of practicing medicine is used in furniture appreciation.
He said doctors are looking for information on patients.
And collecting furniture is as effective as this method.
First we must understand its origin, compare the literature,
Then carefully check whether the furniture has been modified,
By opening the hoe or paint,
You can predict the year of furniture, etc.
This is similar to practicing medicine.
