清商龚恪中及其与日人的文艺交流

Qing Dynasty Businessman Gong Kezhong and His Art Exchanges with Japanese

雍乾年间,寓居苏州的晋江商人龚恪中,与当时的上层文人沈德潜和惠栋等人过从甚密。考察清商龚恪中及其家族,可知其通商日本长崎港,不仅与日人诗书酬酢,还将清国画作和徽墨东传日本,将古梅园墨及墨谱西传中国,客观上充当了中日学术和文艺交流的媒介。

During the period of Yongzheng and Qianlong,Gong Kezhong,a Jinjiang businessman sojourning in Suzhou,had close relationship with upper-class scholars,including Shen Deqian and Hui Dong.Studying Gong Kezhong and his family,we can see that he shipped to Nagasaki,communicated poetry and calligraphy with Japanese,sent paintings of Qing Dynasty and Huizhou ink sticks to Japan,and passed Kobaien ink sticks and ink paintings to China,objectively acting as an academic and literary exchange medium between China and Japan.
