《宣南雅集》

作者: 张朋
士人文化兴起于明代,盛于清朝。清初实行旗民分治,京师南城遂为汉人聚居之地。逐渐形成了广博活跃的学术氛围和结社唱和的文学环境。清代中、晚期,国事艰危,一批志在变革图新的志士仁人,在宣南土地上为民族存亡奔走呼号,演出了一幕幕近代中国振聋发聩的悲壮史剧。《宣南雅集》用雅人四好“琴棋书画”表现了士人集会的场景,“梅兰竹菊”四君子的图案则表现出士人精神的高洁。

The Literati Gathering in the South of Xuanwumen

  
The scholar culture arose in the Ming Dynasty when an active academic atmosphere was formed in south Beijing, and then flourished in the Qing Dynasty, when a group of noble and upright persons tried to save the country from its difficult and dangerous state. This work shows the scene of scholars gathering with music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and represents the noble spirit of scholars with plum blossoms, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
