清代以来扬州木版年画体系独立性探究

Research on the Independence of Yangzhou Woodblock New Year Painting System since Qing Dynasty

通过对扬州博物馆收藏的扬州木版年画老版片的研究,发现清代以来的扬州地区存在着一个完整且独立的传统木版年画制作和销售体系。这一体系的出现立足于扬州当地特定的社会文化背景,并受到印刷技艺、生产规模、市场需求等多方面因素的影响。另外,对比苏州桃花坞年画,扬州木板年画在题材内容、风格样式等方面与前者有着明显的差异,并非是其附属或翻版。阐明和强调扬州作为独立木版年画产区的特征,是进一步对扬州木版年画进行梳理和研究的基础,进而也将对于扬州木版年画在中国传统木版年画史上的重要地位给予更为客观的判断。
