Old Zhang is a veteran antique collector. His home is filled with all kinds of treasures, from bronzeware to porcelain, from calligraphy and painting to jade. Not only does he know the age, origin, and craftsmanship of each piece as well as the back of his hand, but he can also tell the origin and stories behind each piece. Once, a young scholar visited Old Zhang, hoping to learn more about his collection. Old Zhang warmly received the scholar and introduced his collection one by one. Pointing to each piece, he could accurately state its name, age, and historical value, as easy as counting his treasures. The scholar marveled at Old Zhang's vast knowledge and profound collection skills, exclaiming: "Old Zhang, you really know your collection like the back of your hand!"
