新面世华氏家族墨迹研究

Recently Acquired Hua Family Collection of Calligraphy

无锡博物院新近征集到华氏家族旧藏文物200余件,多为家族文献资料。该家族历史悠久,而重孝之风一以贯之。通过历代题咏、著文、绘图、抄写,华氏家族孝文化以书法、绘画为载体,物化为一件件珍贵的墨迹实物,实现了家族孝文化与书法艺术的完美结合,成为书法史上的一大亮点。其内容包括由家族成员发起征集的、歌颂华氏家族孝德的原创诗文作品,抄录家族先代遗文的书法作品以及与华氏家族有关的乡邦文献作品。这些家族资料通常以亲笔墨迹的形式出现,一般不进入书画市场流通,故得以留存至今。其中不乏佚文、孤本,极具珍贵的文物价值和重要的历史意义。其价值主要表现为三方面:填补史阙的文献价值;勘比对的版本学价值;拾漏补遗的书法史价值。

The Wuxi Museum has recently acquired more than 200 pieces of work from the former Hua family collection. The Wuxi-based Hua family has a long history and is known for filial piety. Through poetry, essays, calligraphy, painting and transcriptions, the Hua family＇s emphasis on filial piety is materialized into family documents in the form of calligraphy, which are of great value in the history of calligraphy. Generations of the Hua family members invited famous artists to write poetry or essays about the family＇s filial piety tradition, to chant the family culture and copy poems by forefathers. These autographic writings, almost never circulated on market, are regarded precious documents for scholars on history, ancient writings and calligraphy.
