点翠是一项历史悠久的中国传统工艺,但由于翠鸟濒临灭绝,导致点翠工艺几近消亡,其复杂细致的技术细节亦不得而知。本文以故宫博物院藏清宫点翠文物为依据,利用显微镜及多种科学分析技术,从微观尺度对羽毛、衬色、疏密、方向、起伏等方面研究和讨论了古代点翠的材料、技法与色彩表现的关系,为古代点翠艺术研究及现代复原实践提供了丰富的信息。

Kingfishering(diancui)is a Chinese craft with long tradition.Yet with kingfisher becoming an endangered species,the craft is also almost lost,along with the complex and intricate details of the technique.As selected kingfishering objects from the Qing(1644-1911)court in the Palace Museum collection was studied through Microscope and analyzed with scientific methods,the relevance among material,technique,and color expression of ancient kingfishering objects is discussed from the perspective of microscopic inspection of feather,backside color,density,direction,and concavo-convex features.The study provides rich information for the study of the ancient art of kingfishering and contemporary conservation of relevant objects.
