明末闵齐伋《会真六幻》之《幻因·图》考

A Printed Illustration Study of The Collection of Six Classical Imaginary Romance of the Western Chamber Published in Ming Dynasty

近年来,德国科隆大学"东亚艺术博物馆"收藏的一套西厢记版画受到越来越多的瞩目,这套版画出自于明代末年闵齐伋刊刻的《会真六幻》。此时,中国古代戏曲、小说的插图,首次以饾版彩色套印的方式出现在世人的面前,而且与同时期刻印的画谱、笺谱相比,丝毫不逊色。作为版画艺术的一个特殊范式,对闵刻《会真六幻》版画的考证于明末木刻画研究具有重要的意义。

A set of wood print named The Collection of Six Classical Imaginary Romance of the Western Chamber published by Min Ch＇i-chi in late Ming Dynasty which was collected by ＂Museum fur Ostasiatische Kunst＂ of University of Cologne in Germany recently gained extensive attention. This is the only water color block printing which has been found about The Romance of the Western Chamber. This set of printing is also known as the first water color block printing about Chinese ancient drama novel illustrations. As a special paradigm of print art, its textual research is of significance.
