地处昆山的阳澄湖，水土清嘉，是江南著名的产蟹之地。早在宋代，江南地区便已形成品蟹的文人风尚，“持螯把酒”被视为风流雅事，蟹的形象也开始频繁出现在绘画作品中。
从宋代到当代，历代画家为何钟情画蟹？本场讲座将循着千年蟹画长卷，品读名家笔下的笔墨意趣，探寻蟹题材在文人画中的吉祥寓意与文化内涵。同时，讲座还将展开艺术与生活的跨界对话，串联昆山大闸蟹源远流长的水乡文脉，在丹青与求真的交会处，感受阳澄湖畔独特的蟹文化魅力。
Situated in Kunshan, Yangcheng Lake boasts clear waters and a refined environment, and is a well-known crab-producing area in the Jiangnan region. As early as the Song Dynasty, a literary fashion of savoring crabs had already taken shape in Jiangnan. “Holding a crab in one hand and a cup of wine in the other” was regarded as an elegant and romantic pursuit, and images of crabs also began to appear frequently in paintings.
From the Song dynasty to the present, why have painters long been fascinated by crabs? This lecture traces the thousand-year legacy of crab paintings, exploring the brushwork of renowned masters, the auspicious symbolism of the crab motif in literati art, and its cultural significance. It also brings art and life into dialogue, offering a fresh perspective on the unique crab culture of Yangcheng Lake.
