“可能是铜色”，绵竹年画传承人陈强饶有兴致地推测三千年前三星堆文物可能的颜色。
"They may be coppery." said Chen Qiang, heir to the Mianzhu New Year Paintings, when he enthusiastically speculated about the possible original colours of Sanxingdui's cultural relics, how they would've looked 3,000 years ago.
陈强是绵竹年画德阳市级传承人，目前经营着欣玺年画工坊。2006年，绵竹木版年画被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产保护名录。“我是从小就跟着爷爷、父亲学习绵竹年画的制作，已经是陈家的第九代年画传承人”，陈强介绍说。
Chen Qiang is a city-level heir to the Mianzhu New Year Paintings in Deyang City, and runs the Xinxi New Year Painting Studio. In 2006, Mianzhu Woodblock New Year Paintings were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage items for state protection. "I have been studying how to create Mianzhu New Year Paintings from my grandfather and father since a very young age, and I have granted the title of ninth-generation heir in my family." said Chen Qiang.
“现在的三星堆文物颜色已经是氧化过后的，但是仍然能感觉到以前的工匠有为这些文物进行着色，可能是使用矿物质为其上色。”谈及古代的三星堆原本的色彩，陈强从绵竹年画的传统制作工艺中推测古人在三星堆器物上的上色工艺，“在过去绵竹年画的创作中，也有过和纯铜相关的，用紫铜和黄铜创作的一些作品也是通过锻造、冷却去呈现颜色。”他认为，“古人很有可能使用技术手段让铜呈现出不同的颜色，这个很难与现代的色彩去匹配，有可能通过古代的工艺例如锻造、火烧、冷却工艺去烧制呈现最终的颜色。”
"Although the existing Sanxingdui cultural relics' colours have long-since been oxidized away, I can still feel that in all likelihood, ancient artisans used to paint these cultural relics with a variety of minerals." Talking about Sanxingdui cultural relics' original colours in ancient times, Chen Qiang inferred the colouring processes that the ancients used on Sanxingdui cultural relics from the traditional production processes of Mianzhu New Year Paintings; "In the past, the creation of Mianzhu New Year Paintings was also related to fine copper. Some works created with red copper and brass were forged and cooled to show more vibrant colours." He added: "It is very likely that the ancients deployed some similar techniques to make copper exhibit different colours, which is difficult to match with the modern colours we have at our disposal. The ancients may have used ancient processes such as forging, hardening with fire, and cooling to produce the final colours."
初次了解到三星堆，陈强就被三星堆的神奇外观所震撼，也常常从已出土的三星堆文物中产生对绵竹年画的联想，“在绵竹年画的元素中也有一个摇钱树形象，和青铜神树非常相似”。不止如此，陈强早就将这种想象付诸到了实践，“两年前开始，绵竹年画的创作就一直借鉴、结合三星堆的元素、色彩和线条，产出文创产品”。
When Chen Qiang learned about Sanxingdui for the first time, he was touched by its magical appearance, and he often associates the unearthed Sanxingdui cultural relics with Mianzhu New Year Paintings. He told us: "There is an image of a money tree among Mianzhu New Year Paintings' characteristic elements, which is very similar to the Bronze Sacred Tree of Sanxingdui." Chen Qiang has even been putting this connection he imagines into practice for quite a while now: "Starting two years ago, I've taken Sanxingdui's elements, colours, and linework as references in the creation of Mianzhu New Year Paintings to produce cultural and creative works."
针对此次的“幻彩三星堆”联动，陈强选择了青铜面具，他希望通过这样的联动再创，让三星堆文物和绵竹年画更贴近普通人的生活，在博物馆之外被人们所了解。
For this 'Colourful Sanxingdui' re-creation project, Chen Qiang chose the Bronze Mask as the object he wished to re-create, and hoped that such collaboration could allow Sanxingdui cultural relics and Mianzhu New Year Paintings to come closer into ordinary people's lives, as well as be better-known to people outside of the context of museums.
