中国国家博物馆藏明《九边图》屏研究

A Study of the Folding Screens Painted with Maps of the Nine Border Towns at the National Museum of China

中国国家博物馆藏明彩绘《九边图》屏,是目前发现的《九边图》屏中保存最为完整的一幅,文物价值和艺术价值很高。该图以许论《九边图论》图版为基础摹绘修改而成,概括反映了明嘉靖末期九边长城的全貌,还收录了一些传世长城文献、舆图中较为罕见的地理信息。本文结合与此图出自同一底本的辽宁省博物馆藏《九边图》屏,归纳了其文字注记方面的特点,举例考察了图中的3处罕见地名,初步梳理了屏风背面《后赤壁赋》题写者郭全仁的生平。

The set of folding screens painted with Maps of the Nine Border Towns of the Ming dynasty stowed at the National Museum of China is the best-preserved set of its kind and is of high cultural and artistic value. The screens’ painting is based on Xu Lun’s original and reflects a full view of the nine border towns along the Great Wall at the end of the Ming dynasty, including some rare geographical information. This paper summarizes the features of the textual notation in relation to the screens with Maps of the Nine Border Towns stowed at the Liaoning Provincial Museum,examines the names of three exemplary rare places on the map, and tentatively compares the life of Guo Quanren, the inscriber of the Second Red Cliff Ode on the reverse of the screen.
