清 木板彩印钟馗 苏州桃花坞 南京博物馆藏（蜘蛛，也叫“喜珠儿”，画在钟馗上方寓意喜从天降） 千百年来，在戏曲、小说的广为流传中，钟馗早已成为家喻户晓的知名神祇，并且在岁月的变换中，也由岁末的辟邪招福之神，转变为端午驱魔招祥的人物。 | 从守护神到吉祥神 | 从文献记载，钟馗画始于唐代。相传吴道子是钟馗画的创始者，画家根据唐玄宗奇异的梦境进行艺术想像创作而成（唐玄宗封钟馗为“嫉恶状元，斩邪将军”），其形象甚为威严。自唐代以后，民间挂钟馗的风俗日益兴盛，钟馗迅速成为显赫的神祇之一。宋元以来，随着民间钟馗信仰的流行，钟馗故事不断充实，钟馗画也日益丰富，捉鬼、嫁妹、饮宴、夜猎、出游等重要场面均有生动的表现，从而为明代钟馗戏曲的发展提供了丰实的形象基础。 《钟馗赛会》 选自吴友如《点石斋画报》 民间端午节会举办钟馗赛会，驱邪消灾 旧时，民间普通人家悬挂的钟馗像为木版印刷，题材十分丰富，从醉酒，到狂喜、惆怅……形象不再是原先的恐怖与威严，有时还显得十分温情。显然，随着社会的变化，民间艺人们赋予了钟馗更具有人情味的性格。 在民间钟馗图像的过程中，人们不断进行创造，钟馗头戴进士巾，身穿圆领官衣，革双足，仗剑，手指一蝠，或题“引福入堂”，或题“恨福来迟”以及“福在眼前”、“福自天来”等字句，盖借“蝠”与“福”字之音相谐近，巧成一句吉利之语。蜘蛛乃毒物之一，后也被赋予了“喜珠儿”的俗称，画在钟馗像上方，言“喜从天降”。 钟馗舞剑 王天胜 当代 此外，清代刻印的钟馗中还有钟馗右手举剑，左手抓一腰遮虎皮裙之鬼，旁刻蛇、蝎、蜈蚣、壁虎、蟾蜍，上有“消除五毒”、“驱邪降福”方印和“八卦图”者，可见清代以前除夕悬挂钟馗的风俗，已演化变成了端午节时的习俗。可见，在人们心目中，钟馗已从镇宅守舍、除邪却凶的守护神逐渐衍变出赠福的吉祥神了。这些由民间画工绘制或者拓印的画图在迎接祥瑞的同时，也蕴含着民众对政治清明、社会和顺的美好愿望。 | 寄寓画家思想情志 | 至于传统绘画，唐代吴道子是绘钟馗的第一人，曾奉诏画钟馗，所画《趋殿钟馗》、《十指钟馗》深得玄宗赞赏，并经画工摹拓镌印，流行至民间，被称为“钟馗样”。之后，钟馗已成为宫廷画师创作的重要题材之一，而且风格、面貌、样式也是多样的。 南唐周文矩擅画钟馗，北宋御府曾藏有他的七幅钟馗作品，其中有五幅《钟馗小妹图》，表明了当时的画家已不限于画钟馗捉鬼的场面，而
