《春溪水族图》页,宋,绢本,设色,纵24.3cm,横25.5cm。
本幅无款。钤清内府收藏印“三希堂精鉴玺”、“宜子孙”、“乾隆鉴赏”、“无逸斋精鉴玺”、“宣统鉴赏”等5方。裱边钤有乾隆朱文玺印“古稀天子”、“太上皇帝之宝”、“八徵耄念之宝”3方。
此图是现存宋画中游鱼类题材画的一幅佳作。春暖花开,群鱼戏藻。鲢鱼摆尾漫游,鲶鱼回身在后,鳜鱼则迎头向上,隐喻了“连年有贵”的吉祥含义。画家通过鱼儿欢快游动时自由弯转的体态和藻类植物在游鱼冲击下漂浮不定的形状,巧妙地暗示出流水的动势以及春水的清洌透明感。3尾大鱼均施以工笔重彩,用笔沉稳工致,片片鱼鳞描绘得一丝不苟;而衬景的小鱼、小虾和水藻则纯用没骨法渍染,将鱼虾的灵动和水藻的轻盈表现得恰到好处。
对幅有清乾隆御题七言诗一首:“庄惠曾论知弗知,传为奇语却无奇。试如驳曰我非子,便是答云彼岂斯。春水初生具春意,文鳞群泳爱文漪。漫訾意浅色鲜耳,颇类濠梁博辩时。戊申仲秋御题。”“戊申”为乾隆五十三年(1788年)。钤“古稀天子之宝”、“犹日孜孜”印。

There is no money in this picture. Junqing Neifu collects and seals such as "Sanxi Tang Jingjian Seal", "Yizi Sun", "Qianlong Appreciation", "Wuyizhai Jingjian Seal" and "Xuantong Appreciation". There are three inscriptions on the edge: Zhu Wen seal of Qianlong emperor, the treasure of emperor Tai Shang, and the treasure of eight symbols.
This picture is a masterpiece of fish painting in the middle reaches of Song Dynasty. Spring blossoms, fish and algae. Silver carp wagging its tail, catfish returning behind, and mandarin fish heading upward, which metaphorically implies the auspicious meaning of "you are precious in successive years". The painter cleverly implies the momentum of flowing water and the transparency of spring water through the freely curved body of fish when they swim happily and the unsteady shape of algae floating under the impact of the fish. All the three big fish were painted with fine brushwork, with steady brushwork and meticulous scales, while the small fish, shrimp and algae in the background were stained with boneless method, which showed the flexibility of fish and shrimp and the lightness of algae.
There is a seven-character poem about Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty: "ZhuangHuizeng talks about knowledge of knowledge, but legendary words are not surprising. If I refute that I am not a son, I will answer Yun Piaos. Spring water is born with spring, Wen Ling swam in love with Wen Yi. Lightly colored and bright ears, quite similar to Haoliang's polemic. Wu Shen's Mid-Autumn Royal Question. "Wushen" is the fifty-third year of Qianlong (1788). Jun's "Treasure of the Ancient and Rare Son of Heaven" and "Juri Zizi" seals.
