      Ren Hucheng born in Chang’an District Xi’an City is the executive director of Shaanxi Collectors Association and the director of Eaves Tiles Committee under Shaanxi Collectors Association. He has devoted to eaves tiles collection for more than a decade and has organized many exhibitions related to eaves tiles of Qin and Han Dynasty.

      Ren Jingwen born in Gaoling County Xi'an is also a member of Shaanxi Collectors Association and the vice director of Xi'an Collection Research Institute. He has collected thousands of articles related to cattle, organized many exhibitions and published a book 《Print of a Hundred Cattle》.
