#防疫不防藝
#無論好壞蝙蝠都是無辜的
#蝠與福

雖然現在聞「蝠」色變，但在古代，蝙蝠可是有個好名聲!下圖的流雲紅蝙蝠紋花瓶，大家還可以想到哪句吉祥寓意的話呢?

*******************************
畫家在描繪物象時，除了呈現其本身的形體風貌外，有時又進一步賦予了更深的文化意涵，尤其常取中文字「同音」和「諧音」（近似音）的特色，傳達人們嚮往美好、理想生活之祝願。如以蝙蝠與鹿，代表「福祿雙全」，魚代表「年年有魚」等，此延伸之寓意，體現了人類社會的民情風俗及精神文化層面。

【清 汪承霈 繪御製詩意百福繁生圖】
形式：軸，339x 89cm

　　汪承霈，善長作詩詞、書法與畫花卉。畫中所選取的元素，均有其吉祥寓意，如柏樹、稻穗插瓶中諧音為「歲歲平安」，流雲紅蝙蝠紋花瓶，幡旗置於花座旁，取雙關諧音，寓意「洪福齊天」。笙音同「升」，祝頌加官晉爵。柏音同百、蝙蝠、幡旗、笙組成「百福繁生」，則象徵幸福好運，是件富含吉祥寓意之繪畫作品。

【Illustrating the Idea of Imperial Poetry on Flourishing with a Hundred Blessings】
Wang Cheng-pei (active circa 18th – 19th century),
Qing dynasty

Wang Cheng-pei excelled at poetry and was gifted at calligraphy and painting flowers. Cypress and ears of rice in Chinese form a homophone for "years of peace." The vase here, decorated with auspicious clouds and red bats, is also accompanied by a pennant, its meaning in Chinese a metaphor for "fortune overflowing to the heavens." The reed pipe and halberd are likewise a homophone for "promotion," serving as a blessing for advancement in rank. The bronze "dou" vessel and flat "hu" convey the meaning of "pecks of gold coming in daily." Moreover, the Chinese word for "cypress" is related to the word for "hundred," while the bats, pennant, and reed pipe combine to express the idea of "flourishing with a hundred blessings," symbolizing great fortune and luck.
