| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 藝術史研究所 === 102 === Momiao Zhulin is the large collection of album leaves which was made during early Qianlong period in 1745-1748. This work consisted of twelve albums was made by twelve painters according to “twenty-four”-related subjects. Momiao Zhulin is not only huge in dimension but also in the number of units, and its twelve subjects have the characteristic of traditional Chinese encyclopedia in structure, the relationship of heave, earth, man and object (tian di ren wu). This thesis focuses on the work Momiao Zhulin, and its relation to other works in Qing palace. A careful examination of Momiao Zhulin reveals that the painters who Qianlong commissioned were the most outstanding candidates at that time, and its subjects mainly connected to the emperor and Qing court. Moreover, Qianlong used the achievement which Kangxi and Yonzheng had systematically arranged the Han books as the left text of the work. In this way, Momiao Zhulin as if it was a “miniature encyclopedia” made by the visual way. And it also shows Qianlong’s ambition in assembling Qing grand cultural enterprise. Furthermore, according to the Imperial Household Archive, we found another Momiao Zhulin which was collected in 1736, early before the previous one. These two works have the same name, while the former one which is made by Qianlong’s idea; the latter which consists of old pictures mounting on leaves. Through the two works as a concrete illustration, we can understand how Qianlong arranged old collections and systematically created a new one in early reign. Therefore, Momiao Zhulin is a good example to see Qianlong’s collecting way and the overall process of the codification of Han cultural tradition by Manchu emperors, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.
