The brocade armband with the phrase "Simultaneous appearance of five stars in the eastern sky is a propitious sign for the 'Middle Kingdom'", displayed at the Xinjiang Institute of Archeology.

The "Five stars rising in the East" armband (Шаблон:Lang-zh) is an Eastern Han (25–220 AD) to Western Jin (265–316 AD) era Sichuan brocade armband embroidered with the phrase "Шаблон:Lang" (Wǔ xīng chū dōngfāng lì Zhōngguó), meaning "simultaneous appearance of five stars in the eastern sky is a propitious sign for the 'Middle Kingdom'",[1] or "Five stars rising in the East, being a propitious sign for the Middle Kingdom".[2][3] Another cloth of the same pattern was found later and has the words "put down South Qiang" (討南羌 Tǎo Nán Qiāng).[2] In 2002, they were designated one of the cultural relics forbidden to be exhibited abroad.[4]

Discovery

The pieces were unearthed in October 1995 at the Niya ruins in Xinjiang by an archaeological team made up of Chinese and Japanese scholars.[1][3] It was found near the elbow/waist area of a corpse in a rich tomb.[2]

Interpretation

The phrase "Five stars rising in the East, being a propitious sign for the Middle Kingdom" (Шаблон:Lang) resembles a similar phrase found in the Records of the Grand Historian's scroll 27 (Шаблон:Lang). In the ancient times the "five stars" (the classical planets) were represented as Chenxing (Шаблон:Lang), Taibai (Шаблон:Lang), Yinghuo (Шаблон:Lang), Suixing (Шаблон:Lang) and Zhenxing (Шаблон:Lang). In modern times these are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, respectively. These are also represented by "Five Elements" with water, metal, earth, fire, wood.[2] Researchers from the Japanese observatory said the next alignment of the five stars to the east will not be until March 21, 2022.[2]

The phrase "put down South Qiang" (Шаблон:Lang) refers to the area that was first mentioned in a sentence in the Western Han Essentials's (Шаблон:Lang) scroll 46 in relation to the four ancient commandery. The four are located in today's Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei, in the northwestern province of Gansu, respectively.[2]

When the two pieces are combined, it forms the phrase "Five stars rising in the East, being a propitious sign for the Middle Kingdom to put down South Qiang" (五星出東方利中國討南羌), though the meaning is up for debate.
