从故宫珍藏缂丝精品谈我国缂丝工艺

Chinese Carved-Silk Craftsmanship Suggested by the Treasures in the Palace Museum of Beijing

缂丝是我国古老而优秀的丝织工艺品,文章以故宫博物宫珍藏的缂丝精品为例,从实物的角度论述了历代缂丝的工艺技法、构图、设色及风格特色。指出宋代缂丝艺术已达到极高成就,元代缂丝常掺加金线,明代缂丝添加彩绘,而清代缂丝则缂绘、缂绣结合。缂丝不愧为我国丝绸艺术的珍宝。

Carved-silk (Kesi) is a Chinese time-honoured and exquisite silk handicraft. The author,taking the carved-silk treasures collected in the Palace Museum as examples, presents thetechnique, pattern compositions and styles of carved-silk products in different historical periods. Itis pointed out that carved-silk craftsmanship saw its extreme prime in the Song Dynasty. TheYuan Dynasty carved-silk is often inlaid with gold thread; and those of Ming and Qing arerespectively added with coloured painting and made by a combination of painting andembroidering. Therefore, carved-sillk deserves to be called a treasure of Chinese silk art.
