2020年新加坡拍卖精品推荐会-----姑苏繁华图
《姑苏繁华图》，原名《盛世滋生图》，是清代苏州籍宫廷画家徐扬花费24年创作的巨幅画作，全长一千二百四十一厘米，是张择端《清明上河图》的两倍以上，反映当时苏州“商贾辐辏，百货骈阗”的市井风情。
《姑苏繁华图》画面自灵岩山起，由山下的木渎镇东行，过横山，渡石湖，入姑苏城。再自荮门出阊门外，转入山塘街，至虎丘山止。作者自西向东，由乡入城，重点描绘了一村（山前）、一镇（苏州）、一街（山塘）的景物，画笔所至，连锦数十里内的湖光山色、水乡田园、村镇城池、社会风情跃然纸上。明清时期的苏州是江南著名的大都会，但可能是由于城区内的狭小和管理问题，当时苏州最发达的商贸中心并不在城内，而是阊门城外至枫桥镇的那一段地区。
《姑苏繁华图》卷尾徐扬题跋：“钦惟我国家，治化昌明，超轶三代，幅员之广，生齿之繁，亘古未有。 [1] 臣幸遭逢之盛，图写太平，为盛世滋生图一卷，臣执艺所有事也。其图自灵岩山起，由木渎东行，过横山，渡石湖，历上方山，从太湖北岸、介狮何两山间入姑苏郡城，自葑、盘、胥三门出阊门外，转山塘桥至虎邱山止。其间城池之峻险，廨署之森罗，山川之秀丽，以及渔樵上下，耕织纷纭，商贾云屯，市廛鳞列，为东南一都会。至若春樽献寿，尚齿为先，嫁娶朱陈，及时成礼。三条烛焰或抡才于童子之场，万卷书香或授业于先生之席。跟着歌于野，行者咏于途，熙嗥之风，丹青不能尽写。要皆自我朝圣圣相承，深仁厚泽沦浃于百有余年之久。我皇上銮舆再奉，行庆施惠，有加无已。斯地斯民，故能感激鼓舞，乐乐利利，交相劝勉，共为盛事之良民，其偶然哉。昔孔子适卫，惓惓于富教之谟而未行之焉，至今日而全盛矣，大备矣。皇上宵旰忧劳，犹且视民如伤，无时少释，所以保泰持盈，永太平福泽于无疆者也。臣执事内廷，能不益加观感以摹写帝制光昌于万一乎。图成语乾隆乙卯九月，臣徐扬敬跋。
整幅画卷布局精妙严谨，气势恢宏，笔触细致，十分细腻地刻画出了江南的湖光山色、田园村舍、阊胥城墙、古渡行舟、沿河市镇、流水人家、民俗风情、官衙商肆，描绘了苏州城郊百里的风景和街市的繁华景象，完整地表现了原作中气势宏伟的古城苏州市井风貌，是研究250年前“乾隆盛世”的形象资料，具有极大的历史价值和艺术鉴赏价值，被后世誉为研究清代苏州的百科全书，也是研究250年前“乾隆盛世”的重要历史资料。
