《宝颜堂订正画说》作者考

An Investigation of the Authorship of The Remarks on the Paintings Revised by the Baoyan Studio

明清书画著录有多条证据证明,《宝颜堂订正画说》16条中之前15条,可以确定其作者是董其昌,而不是莫是龙。《宝颜堂订正画说》最后1条虽在著录上没有确切证据,但也可能是董其昌原作。《宝颜堂订正画说》极可能来源于《吴越所见书画录》所著录的董其昌《论画》卷。没有一条可靠证据可以证明莫是龙作《宝颜堂订正画说》,董其昌是《宝颜堂订正画说》的真正作者。南北宗论的提出者是董其昌。

Many items in the catalogue of calligraphy and painting in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,especially the fifteen of the sixteen items about The Remarks on the Paintings Revised by the Baoyan Studio,proved no doubt that the book＇s author was Dong Qichang rather than Mo Shilong. The last item,though with no definite evidence in the catalogue,was quite likely to have been written by Dong Qichang. The Remarks on the Paintings Revised by the Baoyan Studio was likely to have transcribed from Dong＇s volume of On Painting in The Catalogue of Calligraphy and Painting Collected in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There was not an evidence to support the view that Mo Shilong was the author of The Remarks on the Paintings Revised by the Baoyan Studio up till now. To sum up,Dong Qichang was the real author of the work for it was Dong who introduced the theory of Northern and Southern schools.
