故宮書畫錄(卷八),第四冊,頁30&*故宮書畫圖錄,第十五冊,頁101-104&*徐熙(約西元十世紀初),江西鍾陵人,出身於江南名族,世代在南唐作官。精於寫生花卉、林木、禽魚、草蟲等。當時畫家作畫以色暈染而成,熙則先以墨染畫,然後再上顏色,人稱之為「落墨法」,特別具有骨氣風神之感。郊野?長著各色及樣的花草、蝴蝶、螳螂、蜜蜂、天牛,雜錯飛翔,顯示郊野中的天然之趣。畫法與徐熙並無關連,幅後有「金陵徐熙」款,應是畫者自行加署。&*Hsü Hsi came from Chung-ling in Kiangsi province. He was a member of a noble family that held office under the Southern T'ang dynasty. He liked to paint from life and was an exceptionally able colorist. He delighted in capturing the exact likness of flowers, bamboo, animals, vegetables and insects. In Record of Experiences in Painting, he is associated with the contemporary painter Huang Ch’uan. Later critics designated these two painters as the originators of the "outlined method" and the "boneless(wash) method" of bird-and-flower painting, respectively. A great variety of flowers and plants grow in the countryside. Four butterflies, a dragonfly, a mantis, a bee, and a beetle move about here and there. The scroll unfolds the abundance and charm of nature. Though the scroll bears the signature of Hsü Hsi, the painting does not match his reported style. We may presume that the painter of this scroll added the signature of HsüHsi。&*1.王耀庭,〈徐熙花卉草蟲〉,收入國立故宮博物院編輯委員會編,《草蟲畫特展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1986年初版),頁71。 2.劉芳如,〈中國古畫裡的草蟲世界 — 「草蟲天地」特展介紹(上)〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第220期(2001年7月),頁13。
