收藏 (shōu cáng): to collect

My grandfather likes to collect antiques; his home is filled with porcelain and calligraphy from various dynasties.

The museum recently acquired a collection of Tang dynasty gold and silverware, attracting many history enthusiasts to visit.

He began collecting stamps as a child, and now he has over a thousand precious stamps from all over the world.

This art museum houses many works by modern art masters, including authentic pieces by Picasso and Van Gogh.

In order to protect these precious ancient books, the library stores them in custom-made bookcases with constant temperature and humidity.
