Mr Tse Siu Bong (1924-2017) was a founding member of The Kau Chi Society, Hong Kong. His private study, known to a select few as the Zhongyong Caotang, reflected his modest nature. Renowned for his generosity and broad interests, Mr Tse built an extensive porcelain collection spanning 5,000 years, featuring pieces from numerous kilns across northern and southern China. He valued the historical and cultural significance of these artefacts far above their commercial worth, driven by a desire to showcase the rich lineage of Chinese ceramics.

謝兆邦先生（1924年—2017年）為香港著名收藏團體求知雅集創始會員之一，私以「中庸草堂」顏其室，外人極少知曉。謝先生樂善好施，收藏興趣極為廣闊，其瓷器收藏上下五千年，包括諸多南北窰口，並不以商業價值為準繩，而旨在於呈現完整的中國陶瓷脈絡。
