一部清代中期的紫砂专论力作——《阳羡名陶录》内容价值评析

An Important Work on Zisha in the Middle of the Qing Dynasty: An Analysis in the Value of Content of “Records of Famous Ceramics” in Yangxian

《阳羡名陶录》成书于清乾隆五十一年(1786年),由乾嘉学者吴骞所撰。本文简要概述了吴骞的学术生平和《阳羡名陶录》的编撰成因,并从历史学、工艺学、文献学等方面系统评述了《阳羡名陶录》的内容价值和所处地位。本文认为,该书尽管在内容编撰方面存在着一些不足,但却是我国继明代周高起《阳羡茗壶系》之后的又一部紫砂专论力作,具有较高的学术研究价值,是古今紫砂研究者不可或缺的重要参考文献。

Records of Famous Ceramics in Yangxian was compiled in 1786 and written by Wu Qian, a scholar living in Qianlong and Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. The paper overviews briefly the academic life of Wu Qian and the reason for compilation of Records of Famous Ceramics in Yangxian, and analyzes systematically the value of content and position of it from history, technology, documentation and so on. The paper contends that although the book has a few disadvantages, it is another important systematic work on Zisha in the wake of Zhou Gaoqi＇s Famous Pots in Yangxian of Ming Dynasty and an indispensable reference of the Zisha researchers during the ancient and modern times, having relatively high academic value.
