As we all know, China has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Today, some precious archaeological discoveries can also verify the glory experienced by ancient China. Among the precious first-class cultural relics unearthed in our country, there are a number of cultural relics that are forbidden to be exhibited abroad. What I want to talk to you about next is one of the more special things. It is a Han Dynasty tapestry from 2,000 years ago. The special thing is that it is woven with 8 words, "five stars out of the East to benefit China".
Fast forward to 1995, when a joint Chinese and Japanese archaeological team conducted archaeological excavations at the Niya site in the Hotan region of Xinjiang. The archaeological team has been working in this place for several months, but has found nothing. Just when everyone thought there was no valuable discovery, an ancient tomb was accidentally opened. This tomb is very simple, there are not too many funerary items, the only conspicuous thing is that one of them has a brightly colored tapestry tied to his right arm, and the 8 words on it are very recognizable, "Five stars out of the East and China".
The site of Nyaya excavated by the archaeological team belongs to the Jingzhi Kingdom, one of the 36 kingdoms in the ancient Western Regions. In some novels, the name appears frequently. According to historical records, during the Western Han Dynasty, there were about 3,600 people in the whole country. There is a saying called "although the sparrow is small, it is complete", and the country is very small, but its geographical location is very important. Therefore, it has also become the target of competition between various surrounding forces.
However, around the third century AD, the Jingzhi kingdom disappeared from history. According to some speculations, the reason for the disappearance of the elite state is partly because of the serious desertification of the land. Originally, the country relied on the Niya River for its survival, but as the climate evolved, the water flow of the Niya River gradually decreased, and the oasis disappeared. The people of the elite country have lost the environment and homeland on which they depend. On the other hand, the corruption of the officials of the elite state hastened its demise.
The five stars on the tapestry refer to the five planets of "water, fire, wood, gold and earth". The phenomenon of five-star convergence has occurred many times in history. It has been estimated that the period of the five-star rendezvous is about 516 years, and the next five-star rendezvous will be about 2040. American astronomer Archaeologist Ban Dawei believes that this piece of Brocade of the Han Dynasty predicted the time of China's rise. At that time, China will once again move toward prosperity and prosperity. I don't know if everyone thinks that the predictions of the ancients are accurate? Feel free to leave a comment below.
