《姑蘇繁華圖》，原名《盛世滋生圖》，是清代蘇州籍宮廷畫家徐揚花費24年創作的巨幅畫作，全長一千二百四十一厘米，是張擇端《清明上河圖》的兩倍以上，反映當時蘇州“商賈輻輳，百貨駢闐”的市井風情。
《姑蘇繁華圖》畫面自靈巖山起，由山下的木瀆鎮東行，過橫山，渡石湖，入姑蘇城。再自荮門出閶門外，轉入山塘街，至虎丘山止。作者自西向東，由鄉入城，重點描繪了一村（山前）、一鎮（蘇州）、一街（山塘）的景物，畫筆所至，連錦數十里內的湖光山色、水鄉田園、村鎮城池、社會風情躍然紙上。明清時期的蘇州是江南著名的大都會，但可能是由于城區內的狹小和管理問題，當時蘇州最發達的商貿中心并不在城內，而是閶門城外至楓橋鎮的那一段地區。
《姑蘇繁華圖》卷尾徐揚題跋：“欽惟我國家，治化昌明，超軼三代，幅員之廣，生齒之繁，亙古未有。 [1] 臣幸遭逢之盛，圖寫太平，為盛世滋生圖一卷，臣執藝所有事也。其圖自靈巖山起，由木瀆東行，過橫山，渡石湖，歷上方山，從太湖北岸、介獅何兩山間入姑蘇郡城，自葑、盤、胥三門出閶門外，轉山塘橋至虎邱山止。其間城池之峻險，廨署之森羅，山川之秀麗，以及漁樵上下，耕織紛紜，商賈云屯，市廛鱗列，為東南一都會。至若春樽獻壽，尚齒為先，嫁娶朱陳，及時成禮。三條燭焰或掄才于童子之場，萬卷書香或授業于先生之席。跟著歌于野，行者詠于途，熙嗥之風，丹青不能盡寫。要皆自我朝圣圣相承，深仁厚澤淪浹于百有余年之久。我皇上鑾輿再奉，行慶施惠，有加無已。斯地斯民，故能感激鼓舞，樂樂利利，交相勸勉，共為盛事之良民，其偶然哉。昔孔子適衛，惓惓于富教之謨而未行之焉，至今日而全盛矣，大備矣?；噬舷簯n勞，猶且視民如傷，無時少釋，所以保泰持盈，永太平福澤于無疆者也。臣執事內廷，能不益加觀感以摹寫帝制光昌于萬一乎。圖成語乾隆乙卯九月，臣徐揚敬跋。
整幅畫卷布局精妙嚴謹，氣勢恢宏，筆觸細致，十分細膩地刻畫出了江南的湖光山色、田園村舍、閶胥城墻、古渡行舟、沿河市鎮、流水人家、民俗風情、官衙商肆，描繪了蘇州城郊百里的風景和街市的繁華景象，完整地表現了原作中氣勢宏偉的古城蘇州市井風貌，是研究250年前“乾隆盛世”的形象資料，具有極大的歷史價值和藝術鑒賞價值，被后世譽為研究清代蘇州的百科全書，也是研究250年前“乾隆盛世”的重要歷史資料。
