【🎉2026中國外銷藝術研討會 - 主旨演講一主題公佈！🎤 2026 International Symposium on Chinese Export Art - Announcement of Keynote Address I Topic 】
你聽過「中國屋（Chinese Room）」嗎？
走進英國哈伍德別墅（Harewood House）的東臥室，映入眼簾的不是傳統的英倫風，而是一整間中國風滿滿的「中國屋（Chinese Room）」——這正是 18 世紀歐洲貴族圈最頂流的奢華與時尚！🏯✨
當時的歐洲貴族們，極其熱衷於把房間從頭到尾裝扮上遠渡重洋的東方藝術：
👔 綠色金漆衣櫃：耀眼的綠色金漆衣物櫃，是 18 世紀英國頂級家具大師托馬斯·齊佩爾代爾（Thomas Chippendale）的傑作！他採用「Japanning」漆藝繪製這件衣物櫃，完美模擬中國漆器的質感。
🏺 中式擺件：為了呼應中國風主題，房間內的一些家具上方及廣場會陳列精美華麗的中國外銷瓷器、花瓶或五彩瓷碗。
🖼️ 《耕織圖》牆紙：不同於英國其他莊園常見的「花鸟」主題，這套壁紙由 18 世紀中國工匠在桑樹皮紙上純手工繪製，每一張都絕無僅有，拼貼成環繞全屋的巨幅畫卷。內容描繪了水稻種植、採茶、養蠶織絲以及陶瓷製作的全過程，生動展現了清代理想化的農業與手工業場景。
這些家具不僅是視覺上的裝飾，更隱喻著當時西方對東方科技、技術與文化的深刻想像……
📅 講座預告：本次分享中，趙教授將帶領大家從《耕織圖》題材壁紙開始，重新解密隱藏在藝術品背後的清代科學、技術與文化成就，為我們提供一個透過外銷藝術重構歷史知識體系的全新視野。
🎤 演講主題
《尋找中國屋：透過外銷藝術重構知識體系》
✨ 演講亮點
本主題建基於趙教授二十多年來對中國《耕織圖》題材壁紙的國際研究成果。他將分享如何從歐洲各大館藏的實地考察出發，逐步延伸至對「中國屋」現象的深度探索，帶領大家重新認識 18 至 19 世紀中國在科學、技術與文化領域的輝煌成就！
👤 主講人：
趙丰教授（浙江大學求是特聘教授、藝術與考古學院教授）
🗓️ 更多研討會與報名資訊將陸續公佈。
Have you ever heard of a "Chinese Room"?
Step into the East Bedroom of Harewood House in the UK, and you won't find traditional English decor. Instead, you'll be greeted by an immersive "Chinese Room"—the ultimate symbol of luxury and high fashion among 18th-century European aristocracy! 🏯✨
At the time, European elites were utterly captivated by decorating their spaces top-to-bottom with Asian art brought from across the oceans:
👔 Green & Gold Clothes Press: This eye-catching cabinet is a masterpiece by Thomas Chippendale, the premier 18th-century British cabinetmaker. He used "japanning" techniques to vividly replicate the lush texture of Chinese lacquerwork.
🏺 Chinese Ornaments: To complement the aesthetic, exquisite Chinese export porcelain, vases, and polychrome bowls were proudly displayed atop furniture and throughout the space.
🖼️ Illustrations of Tilling and Weaving Wallpaper: Moving away from the typical bird-and-flower motifs seen in other British estates, this wallpaper was hand-painted by 18th-century Chinese artisans on mulberry bark paper. Each unique panel merges to form a room-encompassing panorama, illustrating the complete processes of rice cultivation, tea harvesting, silk production, and porcelain making—a vibrant showcase of idealized Qing-era agriculture and craft production.
Far beyond mere visual adornments, these items mirror the profound western imagination surrounding eastern science, technology, and culture at the time...
📅 Lecture Preview: In this presentation, Professor Zhao will use Illustrations of Tilling and Weaving wallpaper as a springboard to decode the Qing Dynasty's scientific, technological, and cultural achievements embedded within these artworks—offering a novel perspective on reconstructing historical knowledge through the lens of export art.
🎤 Keynote Topic
“In Search of Chinese Rooms: Reconstructing the Knowledge System through Export Art”
✨ Key Highlights
Grounded in over two decades of international research on wallpapers depicting scenes from the Illustrations of Tilling and Weaving, Prof. Zhao will share how his field studies across European collections evolved into an in-depth investigation of the "Chinese Rooms" phenomenon. Join us as he illuminates China's remarkable achievements in science, technology, and culture during the 18th and 19th centuries!
👤 Keynote Speaker
Prof. ZHAO Feng (Qiushi Distinguished Professor, Zhejiang University and Professor at the School of Art and Archaeology)
