四兽玉印章
四大神兽是现代人对青龙、白虎、朱雀、玄武的叫法,实际并非神兽,而是神明,在古代又叫作四象、天之四灵,属于远古星宿崇拜的产物。四兽融入了五行和方位,以不同颜色代表:东方青色为木,西方白色为金,南方赤色为火,北方黑色为水,中央黄色为土。另有《淮南子》提到五龙之一的黄龙,也即应龙位居中央,乃四兽之长。
所谓天数者,左青龙,右白虎,前朱雀,后玄武。是故处于堂上之阴而知日月之次序,见瓶中之冰而知天下之寒暑。
中国古代把天空里的恒星划分成为“三垣”和“四象”七大星区。所谓的“垣”就是“城墙”的意思。 三垣环绕着北极星呈三角状排列。在“三垣”外围分布着“四象”:“东苍龙、西白虎、南朱雀、北玄武”。
也就是说,东方的星象如一条龙,西方的星象如一只虎,南方的星象如一只大鸟,北方的星象如龟和蛇。由于地球围绕太阳公转,天空的星相也随着季节转换。每到冬春之交的傍晚,苍龙显现;春夏之交,朱雀升起;夏秋之交,白虎露头;秋冬之交,玄武上升,总称为“四大神兽”。
沁色是指玉器在环境中长期与水、土壤以及其他物质相接触,自然产生的水或矿物质风化侵蚀玉体,铁、锰等氧化物缓慢地侵入玉器使其部分或整体的颜色发生变化的自然现象。色质是玉的自然属性,色即沁色,质指玉质,而沁色通常会成为一块古玉的重要鉴定标准。
可见此玉印章沁色丰富,为经典的铁元素沁色,深入玉石内部,无法清晰,是古玉的经典特征,印章章面篆体精美,极具艺术价值,以四兽为主题,透雕而成,工艺超绝,历经漫长岁月,品相依旧完美,存世极为罕见,极具收藏价值。
