《晓关舟挤图》轴，明，袁尚统绘，纸本，设色，纵114.5cm，横60cm。

　　本幅自题：“晓关舟挤。丙戌秋日夏于竹深处。袁尚统。”下钤“尚统私印”、“袁氏叔明”印2方。 

　　此轴描绘在狭窄的水道门口群舟争渡的热闹场面。晨雾迷濛的苏州阊门，一位显贵的官船正欲出城，与忙于进城的四乡小贩的群舟争道，官宦站立船头，颐指气使，正喝令群民让路，但急于进城谋生的众商贩针锋相对，并不相让，狭窄的水门一时拥堵不堪，而远处仍有小舟向阊门驶近。官船大而势孤，群艇小而势众。从人物形态的刻画中体现出画家对权贵仗势欺人的不屑以及对百姓小民身处疾苦之境的理解与同情。作品取材于实景，构思奇巧，在描绘苏州阊门的近景和局部方面较好地处理了画面的空间关系。

 

--------Introduction in English--------

 

"Xiaoguan boat extrusion drawing" axis, Ming Dynasty, Yuan Shangtong painting, paper, color, 114.5 cm vertical, 60 cm horizontal.

This self-titled picture: "Xiaoguan boat crowded. The autumn and summer of C Xu are deep in bamboo. Yuan Shangtong." Xiajun "Shangtong Private Seal" and "Yuan Shishu Ming" seals are printed on two sides.

This axis depicts the lively scene of boats competing at the narrow waterway entrance. In the morning misty Yanmen, Suzhou, a noble official boat is about to leave the city, competing with boats from busy town hawkers. Officials stand at the bow of the boat and give orders to the people. But the businessmen who are eager to make a living in the city are confronting each other. The narrow water gate is blocked for a while, and the boats are still approaching Yanmen in the distance. Official ships are big and isolated, while boats are small and powerful. From the description of the figure form, it reflects the artist's disdain for power and power and bullying, as well as his understanding and sympathy for the people's plight. The work is based on the real scenery and has a fantastic conception. It deals well with the spatial relationship of the picture in describing the close-range and local aspects of Yanmen in Suzhou.
