鉴定不能“只认衣衫不认人”

The Appraisal Principle of the Antique

生活中,我们经常会遇到一类人,惯用势利的目光看人,只认外表的包装,缺乏对人内在品质的了解。殊不知很多有文化底蕴的人,却是外在显得朴实,不用名牌来修饰自己,深层的内在气质自然流露,不雕不饰尽显书卷之气。曾国藩在《冰鉴》一书中谈到的鉴入之术颇为深刻,他阅人就是从他人眉宇间透出的内在气质中断善恶的,这才是正确的阅人方法。鉴人如此,鉴古玩又何尝不是?而很多所谓的鉴定家常犯'只认衣衫不认人'的错误。

In our daily life,we often come across people who are used to judging others not by the inherent character but by the appearance.Actually,numerous people with profound learning,instead of embellishing themselves through famous brands,dress themselves quite simple and plain.Just as the saying goes:wisdom in hold,elegance in mold,their inner selves are revealed naturally.Hence we may conclude the appraisal principle of the antique—the interior quality is more important than the outer beauty.
