Introduction to data on national cultural relic stores and auction companies

  Cultural relics store is a cultural relics institution established by the state. Its main task is to collect and protect cultural relics scattered in society through commercial means, and to provide collections and materials for museums (academies) and relevant scientific research departments. And take the completion of this task as an important criterion for testing the performance of the cultural relics store. At the same time, it also puts cultural relics that do not need to be collected by the state on the market to meet the needs of domestic cultural relic lovers, while creating higher foreign exchange earnings for the country.

 The "Auction Law of the People's Republic of China" was promulgated and implemented in 1997, which clarified the conditions for the establishment of cultural relics and art auction enterprises and other relevant requirements, and established the status of cultural relics and art auctions from a legal perspective for the first time. It plays an important role in inheriting the history of Chinese civilization and its outstanding achievements.

 Cultural relic collection enthusiasts can purchase cultural relics from existing state-owned cultural relics stores, auction companies that operate cultural relics, non-state-owned cultural relics stores, and other channels. In addition, the state encourages private collections of cultural relics to circulate in the market and increase the market supply of cultural relics. At present, my country's cultural relics circulation channels can basically meet the public's needs for collection and appreciation.
