北宋王居正《纺车图》画错了吗?

Was the Picture of Spinning Wheel by Wang Juzheng wrongly drawn?

针对黄小峰2013年发表的论文《丝线与家国理想:传宋人王居正〈纺车图〉的考察》,经重新考察后认为:《纺车图》手摇曲柄是依据所绘纺车结构的合理设置;无辋纺车用绳带传动不但古已有之,而且一直沿承到现代,传动机构可行、有效;立式手摇纺车的纺锭往往在手摇曲柄的另一侧,这是此类纺车的基本特征之一。文章进一步认为,《纺车图》是宋代写实主义风俗画的杰作之一,不但没有画错,而且反映了画师对底层劳动人民日常生活的关照和同情。

Through the re-investigation of Huang Xiaofeng’s paper"Silk and the Ideal of the Family and State:An Investigation of the Picture of Spinning Wheel by Wang Juzheng"published in 2013,this paper drew following new conclusions and believed that the hand crank of the spinning wheel was set based on the mechanical structure of the wheel,which was completely reasonable.The belt-driven rimless spinning wheel has not only been used since the Song dynasty,but also been inherited to the modern times.The transmission mechanism is feasible and effective.The spindles in the vertical hand-driven spinning wheel are always set on the other side of the hand crank,which is one of the essential features of such spinning wheel.The Picture of Spinning Wheel as one of the masterpieces of realistic genre paintings was not wrongly drawn.On the contrary,it manifested the artist’s concern and sympathy for the daily life of laboring people at the bottom of society.
