山村归客 清溪精品——清中期竹雕山村归客图笔筒赏析

Top-grade Bamboo Carvings Inscribed with “Qingxi” by a Seclusive in Mountain Village

这是一件清代竹雕山村归客图笔筒,旅居加拿大的沈再庭先生上世纪末在多伦多拍卖行拍得。笔筒高13厘米,筒身为椭圆形,上下略有不同,筒口最大外径为7厘米,底承为三矮足。外壁通景雕崇山峻岭,苍松劲拔,茅舍掩映。正面屋里一妇人及仆人正携幼童出迎,一头戴方巾士人健步走向前去,后有一侍从在牵马,一童子携琴、另有两人肩担和推运行李而来。

Due to the contributions made by the literati, the Chinese bamboo carving technology presents unique modeling language and aesthetics, which is different from other carving technologies. These exquisite artworks with literati spirit are also classics of the Chinese bamboo carving art.
