“雅贿”即以书、画、古玩等风雅之物为媒介,对一定对象行贿赂之实的一种社会交往行为。当这种交往方式具有一定的典型性,并成为一种风气之时,便构成了“雅贿”现象。因为与艺术品关系紧密,故“雅贿”又构成一定时期的一种艺术生态。艺术品多是艺术家创造的,考察一段时期的“雅贿”现象,可以发现这种现象与一些艺术家也存在着某种关联,有的甚至关系紧密,一些艺术家凭借其“一技之长”作为得名、获利的手段。从历史上看,由于“雅贿”行为与传统社会中的许多艺术交往行为(如雅玩、应酬、馈赠等)有某种相似的特点,常常会模糊人们的视听,甚至可以欺骗律法,因此“雅贿”现象不仅长期为人们的观念所疏忽,还反映出对艺术领域里一些问题认识的模糊。明代在仁、宣之时,文官政治初步形成,成为国家主要的政权组织形式。崇文之风渐隆,好雅的文人渐多。帝王、士大夫的“雅好”给艺术家带来了机遇,也带来了竞争。他们的互动关系也不再是单纯的“艺术”性质,艺术生态环境逐渐变得多样而复杂,“雅贿”的风气在这个时期初步形成。本文以当时的画家谢环为考察焦点,尝试讨论上述问题。 “Ya bribe ” that is, books, paintings, antiques and other elegant things as a medium, a certain object of bribery in fact a social interaction.

Most works of art are created by the artists and the phenomena of “bribery” during a period of time can be found. Some phenomena are associated with some artists, and some are even closely related. Some artists rely on their “skills” As a name, a means of profit. Historically, the behavior of “bribery” has some similarities with many traditional artistic social activities such as elegance, entertainment and gifts, which often obscure people’s viewings and even deceive the law Therefore, the “bribe-taking” phenomenon has not only been ignored by people for a long time, but also reflected the vague understanding of some issues in the field of art. At the time of benevolence and proclamation in the Ming Dynasty, civil and political politics were initially formed and became the main form of state power and organization. Chongwen style of the wind, elegant scholar gradually. Emperor, doctor’s “elegant ” to the artist has brought opportunities, but also brought competition. Their interactive relationship is no longer purely “artistic” nature, the artistic ecological environment has gradually become diverse and complex, “Ya Bribe” atmosphere was initially formed during this period. This article focuses on the examination of the painter Xie Huan, trying to discuss the above issues.
