也谈《醉经阁第二图》

李本侹

慈城醉经阁是曾经的著名藏书楼。几年前，有人发现一张《醉经阁第二图》，说是“冯云濠的醉经阁胜景入画（1838）图”，此后一直被引用，笔者很想谈些看法。

一，关于此图的来历。据了解，此图最早出现在2007年12月的上海道明秋拍中，拍品号0557。拍卖公司的介绍中，将“醉经阁”认定为慈城的冯云濠醉經阁。后来，此图又出现在2009年12月的西泠拍卖、2010年5月的北京嘉德拍卖和2015年5月的上海道明拍卖。

二，此图中的相关信息。此图由两部分组成，前段引首隶书“醉经阁第二图”，落款“少峰一兄属，朱为弼”。后段为一幅国画，其中左上角有一段诗文，后面落款是“少峰一兄属写醉经阁第二图，戊戌七月，钱杜记”。很明显，此图画的是“少峰”的“醉经阁”景色。

三，冯云濠是否为少峰？据对慈城地方文史有深入研究的张介人先生考证，冯云濠的父亲冯天佑生有四个儿子，老大冯云锦，老二冯云濠，老三冯谒镛，老四冯云标。冯云濠，字文濬，号五桥，在慈城有自己的藏书楼，称醉经阁。冯云濠既不是家中老大，人家自然不会叫他“一兄”；“少峰”也不是字或号，可以说，“冯云濠”和“少峰”半毛钱关系也没有。

四，少峰是谁？柯愈春所著《清人诗文集总目提要》1373页，提到有《醉经阁诗抄》四卷，蔡锡恭所撰。残本，今为南京图书馆所藏。《容庚学术著作全集》第200册1122页有“蔡锡恭，字少峰，浙江石门人。官江苏震泽巡检，著醉经阁金石考”的记载。石门即今桐乡。刘黎平《紫砂壶典》426页有“蔡锡恭（约1771—1829），字少峰”的记载，但据《盛泽镇志》75页的《清代吴江县丞更迭表》中有“蔡锡恭，浙江石门，同治八年（1869）脱字”的记载，由此对照，《紫砂壶典》里写的蔡锡恭生卒年份不一定准确。图中引首落款“戊戌（1838）七月”，如此，蔡锡恭才可以和此图在时间上有交集。

五，朱为弼和钱杜。这二人一个写字，一个作画。朱为弼（1770—1840），平湖人。钱杜（1764—1845），杭州人。至此，已经很明了，笔者不用再去考证他们与蔡锡恭是否有交集了。

综上所述，可以认定，此图画的是石门蔡锡恭家的醉经阁，不是慈城冯云濠的醉经阁。

My Take on a Painting about Zuijingge

By Li Benting

Zuijingge in Cicheng， Ningbo in eastern Zhejiang used to be famed for the books it housed. A few years ago， an ancient painting titled “Second Painting of Zuijingge” emerged out somewhere and somebody concluded that it was painted in 1838 and it was about Zuijingge owned by Feng Yunhao.

I dont think the painting depicts Fengs Zuijingge in Cicheng.

The painting first appeared in the auction catalogue of an auction house in Shanghai in December 2007， the auction serial number being 0557. The auction house said that Zuijingge mentioned in the painting was identified as Feng Yunhaos Zuijingge in Cicheng. The painting reappeared at auctions held in Hangzhou， Beijing and Shanghai respectively in 2009， 2010， and 2015.

The painting is composed of two parts. The first part is the title inscribed in the clerical script. The title reads Second Painting of Zuijingge， signed by someone named Zhu Weibi. The inscription reads that it was inscribed at the request of the eldest brother Shaofeng. The second part is the painting in the traditional style. In the upper left corner is a poem with a brief note by someone named Qian Du. The artist explains in the note that the painting was done at the request of the eldest brother Shaofeng for Zuijingge. Judging from the texts， one can conclude that the painting obviously depicts Zuijingge owned by Shaofeng. The date on the painting was 1838.endprint

Is Shaofeng Feng Yunhao in Cicheng？ Zhang Jieren， a contemporary scholar who has conducted studies of the local history and culture of Cicheng， says that Feng Yunhao was the second of the four sons fathered by Feng Tianyou and that Feng Yunhaos library was called Zuijingge， but he was never known as Shaofeng. It can be definitely concluded that Feng Yunhao was not Shaofeng and that he had nothing to do with Shaofeng.

Then who was Shaofeng？ In page 1373 of a comprehensive dictionary cataloguing over 40，000 collections of essays and poems by 19，700 scholars of the Qing Dynasty （1644-1911） compiled by Ke Yuchun （born in 1939）， a four-volume Zuijingge Collection of Poetry by Cai Xigong is mentioned. The catalogue says that the collection is incomplete. In page 1122 of the 200th volume of the Complete Academic Works of Rong Geng （1894-1983）， the author says that Cai Xigong， with a courtesy name Shaofeng， was a native of Shimeng， Zhejiang and that Cai wrote a study named .

Zhu Weibi （1770-1840） who inscribed on the painting was a native of Pinghu whereas Qian Du， a native of Hangzhou and the painter of the artwork， was born in 1764 and passed away in 1845. Feng Yunhao （1807-1855）， the owner of Zuijingge Library in Cicheng， was much younger than Zhu Weibi and Qian Du. There is no evidence that the two had anything to do with Feng Yunhao and there was absolutely no reason why the two scholars， at least thirty years senior， would consider Feng Yunhao as an elder brother.endprint
