以一身应天下之求——康熙六、七年间的王翚和他的主顾们

Wang Hui and His Patrons in 1667-1668

本文基于《王时敏与王翚信札七通》手稿本的内容及相关考证,并借助其他史料对王翚在康熙六、七年间的行状做了大致梳理,重点论述了大约从康熙五年起成为王翚重要赞助人的王永宁对其绘画事业的影响。康熙五年左右是王翚拓展声名的关键时期,他开始真正走出江南,逐渐成为名扬天下的画家。本文试图通过比对刻本信札和稿本信札的内容,还原王翚“以一身应天下之求”的状态,以及这种状态形成的动因。此外,论文同时指出了研究者在使用刻本信札时容易遇到的陷阱和误区。

The textual research of the manuscripts from Wang Shimin to Wang Hui which are included in Wang Shimin’s Seven Letters to Wang Hui (Wáng Shímǐn Yǔ Wáng Huī Xìnzhá Qītōng) and other sources focuses on Wang Yongning playing as the important patron in Wang Hui’s painting career from around the 5th year of Kangxi’s (康熙) period and Wang Hui’s artistic activities during the 6th–7th years of Emperor Kangxi’s (康熙) reign (1667-1668). The critical moment in his artistry experience came in the 5th year of Kangxi’s (康熙) reign from which Wang Hui became more famous with his reputation extending far beyond Jiangnan area. The analysis between the manuscripts and the printed copies intends to review how Wang Hui did to satisfy the increasing demand for his works from any ranks and classes and what motivated it after all. It also points out the potential traps in the text that are likely to mislead the scholars using the print manuscripts.
