宋代民间绘画赞助体系初探

Preliminary Study on the System of Folk Painting Sponsorship in the Song Dynasty

宋代绘画是否存在赞助人或赞助体系,学界尚有不同认识。但无法否认,与士人与宫廷绘画相较,民间绘画活动与交易繁荣。而民间画家社会地位的低下,决定了其必须积极与某些社会阶层交流并迎合他们的趣味,以发展其职业生涯,获得生存资本;而某些社会阶层出于某种需要也乐意提供支持。这就构成了不同于西方的特殊的赞助体系。

Scholars have different opinions on whether art sponsorship or the system of art sponsorship existed in the Song Dynasty.However,there is no denying that the folk painting is more active and prosperous than scholar and palaces painting in trading.The low social position of folk painters directly determined that they must positively communicate with some social classes and meet their interests in order to develop their career and earn their living.Meanwhile,these classes were willing to offer their support due to specific needs,and all above consequently formed unique art sponsorship system that was different from western countries.
