All men are mortal? Leave Dan in his heart. ——Wen Tianxiang, "Crossing Zero Ding Yang"
China's history has been thousands of years, and the succession of dynasties is even more numerous. From the defeat of the Six Kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty and the unification of the land of China, to the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the unprecedented nationality, and then to the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the end of the feudal dynasty was announced. During this period, countless traditional cultures that can represent Chinese characteristics have emerged, and they have also left us modern people with a lot of valuable cultural heritage. The forms and types of these cultural heritages are varied, ranging from poetry to paintings, crafts, or palace buildings. No matter what form of existence, today we can better study and understand the ancient forms of life. In the process of research, many hidden secrets in history will also be analyzed with the appearance of cultural relics.
Magical artifacts
After many cultural relics are unearthed, a large number of scholars and experts will study them. In particular, cultural relics about some important historical nodes will become the focus of the public, because these cultural relics can not only reveal the living standards of people at that time, but also analyze the secrets of dynastic changes from them. And there is such a cultural relic, when it was first unearthed, a large number of experts will be surprised at the first sight of it. This cultural relic is "five stars out of the East to benefit China", this sentence is placed in modern times, the meaning of which is very obvious, five stars from the East, will be conducive to China's development.
But if you look closely at its origins, this is an antiquity that has been sleeping underground for a thousand years, so how can it send a blessing to the founding of New China a thousand years later? Whether the content of these texts is the study of astronomical phenomena by the ancients, or whether someone can really predict the future and issue such a language, everything has aroused the curiosity of experts, and after careful study, experts have also revealed the secrets behind this cultural relic. Is the "five stars out of the East and Benefiting China" unearthed in Xinjiang a coincidence or a prophecy of the ancients?
Occasional discoveries
In 1995, a scientific expedition of archaeologists and historians from China and Japan set out for the ruins of the ancient kingdom in the ancient western region, hoping to explore this once mysterious country in the ruins a thousand years later. In the first few months, scientists from both countries found nothing, leaving too little information from the site to get much information from it, and only hoping to find some breakthroughs in the excavations underground. The kung fu paid off, and finally someone found a tomb with a shared burial, and the owner of the tomb was noble, probably a royal family or nobleman at that time.
At this time, the discovery of a cultural relic shocked the scientific expedition team members from the Chinese side, they found a well-preserved brocade arm guard on the right arm of the male tomb owner, and when it was taken down and spread out, everyone found the Chinese character embroidered on the top - five stars out of the East li China. After the research of scientists, this is the fabric of the Shu land of the Han Dynasty, due to its long history and cultural relics attributes, this cultural relic has been rated as a national first-class cultural relic, and it has also been included in the list of cultural relics that are prohibited from being exhibited abroad. This arm guard is 18.5 cm long and 12.5 cm wide, and is embroidered with animal patterns on the top with silk threads of different colors, as well as the "prophecy" embroidered with the Han Dynasty Lishu.
The origin of "prophecy"
After the birth of this cultural relic, it attracted widespread attention from the society, and everyone wondered why the phrase "five stars out of the East and China" appeared on a protective arm. After careful study, most of the supporting astrological theories say that the "five stars" in this sentence correspond to an ancient astronomical phenomenon, and the "five stars" are the stars of the ying, the stars of the year, the fill stars, the taibai stars, and the stars of Chen, which are related to a passage in the Book of Han. It is recorded in the "Book of Han and The Biography of Zhao Chongguo" that in 62 BC, the Qiang people intended to invade the Han Dynasty, and they still privately recruited many helpers, and the great war was about to break out. Zhao Chongguo, a veteran general of the Han Dynasty, was bent on going to the front line and personally led the army on the expedition.
On the day when the army marched out, the five stars flashed in unison, which was exactly the vision of the five-star series that was rare in a thousand years. Emperor Xuan of Han immediately issued an edict: "Now that the five stars are out of the east, China will be greatly profitable, and the barbarians will be defeated." Use troops to go deep into the poles of those who dare to fight, and those who dare to fight are fierce", an edict made the morale of the army rise, and then defeated the enemy army. The abbreviation of the content of the edict is "five stars out of the East to benefit China", which corresponds to the text content on the excavated arm. Although experts have explained it very clearly, there are still many people in the folk who believe that this is a beautiful prediction of modern China, which is strikingly similar to the process of modern history, and it is natural for the people to think like this is naturally an expectation of a better life.
There may be many kinds of artifacts, and the areas unearthed are also different. Although they are created differently, the connotations represented are also very different. However, all kinds of things, as long as they are excavated from our Chinese soil, all show the long history of the Chinese nation, and our descendants living in the land of China will not only have a thick historical accumulation, but also create a more prosperous new China in the future, and continue to pass on Chinese history in the modern world.
