清雍正  鬥彩河圖洛書圖盤  雙圈三行六字楷書款

盤撇口折沿,淺弧壁,圈足。通體鬥彩紋飾。描金口。盤心雙圈內波濤洶湧,奇石峙立,一龍馬背伏一函圖書踏浪而來,氣勢磅礡;折沿飾祥雲。盤外壁環飾江崖海水紋,與盤心紋飾互相呼應。底青花雙圈內書「大清雍正年製」楷書款。

「河圖」、「洛書」是中國古代流傳下來的兩幅神秘圖案,是中國術數的根源,也是中國最早的吉祥圖案。相傳伏羲氏時,有龍馬從黃河出現,背上有圖點,為河圖;夏禹治水時,洛水出現神龜,背上也有圖典,是為洛書,兩者皆為「天授神物」。始祖伏羲根據這種「河圖」和「洛書」畫成八卦,創始了炎黃文化,因此古人常把龍馬、神龜與圖、書結合一起的圖畫來象徵我們文化的古老源頭,《易經.繫辭傳》曰:「河出圖,洛出書,聖人則之」,後世將「河圖洛書」視為聖王治世的祥瑞徵兆。

拍品專文

The qilin is a very auspicious animal as it is said to live for a thousand years and to be the noblest of all animals and therefore to represent perfect goodness. It was believed to tread so lightly and carefully that it left no footprints and it damaged no living things with its hooves. The appearance of a qilin was supposed to be the sign of a virtuous ruler and the book on the back of the qilin symbolises knowledge and accomplishment. The combined images allude to a virtuous and learned emperor. A similar dish also with gilded mouth rim is in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1999, p. 238, no. 218. Dishes of this same pattern but without the gilding are published. Compare an example from the Chang Foundation, illustrated by J. Spencer, Selected Chinese Ceramics from Han to Qing Dynasties, 1990, no. 140; and another from the Edward T. Chow Collection, was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 19 May 1981, lot 560.
