职业艺人在中国有着悠久的历史。很早以前他们就被呈现在各种媒介中。1东汉时期(25—220),描绘变戏法、玩杂耍、走钢丝和表演马术特技艺人的画曾被用作墓穴装饰而风靡一时(图1)。到后来,艺人们不仅被画到墓室的墙上,而且还用来装饰陶瓷器物(图2)。他们还在卷轴画和配有插图的中国文化百科全书中得到展现(图3)。19世纪末,街头艺人的形象仍然出现在民间木版画和石版画中,尤其是在《点石斋画报》中。本 Professional artists have a long history in China. They were presented in various media long ago. 1 During the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), paintings depicting juggling, juggling, tightrope walking and performing equestrian stunt entertainers were all the rage for the tomb decoration (Figure 1). Later, the artists were not only painted on the walls of the tomb, but also decorated with ceramic objects (Figure 2). They are also shown in scroll drawings and encyclopedia of Chinese culture with illustrations (Figure 3). At the end of the 19th century, the image of street artists still appeared in folk woodcuts and lithographs, especially in the Dian She Zhai Pictorial. this
