阮元 圖釋自然地理名詞 設色紙本 十二開冊

款識:
(一)高岡,高山之脊也。《爾雅》云「山脊,岡」。郭註「謂山長脊」也。鈐印:雲台
(二)漢水名發源於嶓冢者,按《禹貢》「嶓冢導漾,東流為漢。又東,為滄浪之水。至於大別,乃入於江」云云。鈐印:雲台
(三)白雲,水上輕清之氣,當夜而上騰者。露,即其散而下降也。鈐印:雲台
(四)館,客舍也。自□遷豳而暫止者也。鈐印:雲台
(五)中谷,山谷中也。鈐印:一印缺失
(六)崔嵬,土山之戴石者。按《爾雅》「石戴山土謂之崔嵬」。郭註「山石上有土者」。鈐印:雲台
(七)隮,雲氣升騰也。詩人借以比氣勢之熏灼焉。鈐印:雲台
(八)夕陽,山西也。民多而田未足,故公劉度山西之田以廣之,而豳人之居於此益大也。鈐印:雲台
(九)砠石,山戴土也。《爾雅》云「土戴石為砠」。郭註「土山上有石者」。鈐印:雲台
(十)灌木,叢木也。《爾雅》云「木族(生)為灌」。郭註「族,叢也」。鈐印:雲台
(十一)喬木,上竦無枝之木也。按《爾雅 • 釋木》「下句曰朻,上句曰喬」又「小枝上繚為喬」。郭註「細枝皆翘繚,上向者名為喬木」也。鈐印:雲台
(十二)隰原,下隰高原也。地有高下不齊,而畫井分疆,貴有以度之也。如冀州為敷土之始,覃懷之底績也。土白墳而田則中中,雍州為敷土之終,原隰之底績也。土黃壤而田則上上,推之若者青黎,若者赤埴,莫不各隨地勢而致上中下上之分。又如雲夢乂而賦之等,惟三直與三品之金同浮江漢而逾於洛蒙。羽藝而賦之等,惟五且與五色之土共浮淮海而逹於河。推之若者宜錯,若者宜貞,莫不各順地形而來南朔東西之享。阮元識。鈐印:雲台

傳承:
紐約懷古堂,2015年3月31日

阮元,歷經乾、嘉、道三朝,曾為"九省疆臣",一生達官而不廢學問,集經史小學、天算、輿地、金石、校刊大成,海内奉其山斗焉。一生即經述文章,又編刻典籍,繼承以儒家經學為核心的乾嘉漢學高峰,將之歸總。
所編《十三經注疏》,囊括《爾雅註疏》、《尚書註疏》,此輯圖釋題款便出其中。山斗課餘書房戲墨,釋山經、地志于其最擅長的木石丹青,設色簡淡,筆觸清雅,小中見大,雖以傳統筆墨入畫,立意別具一格,異于南北,令人耳目一新。
