Provenance
In fact, the artistic expression of the Song Dynasty baby opera theme focuses on the depiction of daily life, which mostly reflects a plain, peaceful and intimate feeling, without pretense and exaggeration, and is full of rich life flavor.This is related to the concept of fertility that advocates more children and more blessings, which is deeply rooted in the people as a social thought. As a kind of cultural representation, the baby play map also fully reflects the exquisite sculpture skills of the Song people and the aesthetic pursuit of "shangzhen".
其实宋代婴戏题材艺术表达侧重日常生活的描绘，多体现了一种平淡、祥和、亲切的感觉，没有矫饰和夸张，富有浓郁的生活气息。
这与推崇多子多福的生育观念有关，这种观念作为一种社会思想深入民众。婴戏图作为一种文化表征，也充分体现了宋人精湛的雕塑技艺和“尚真”的审美追求。
