Pattern meaning
The ancients believed that "cloud" and "qi" were actually one, and were the carriers and symbols of vitality, spirituality, spirit, and auspiciousness. The appearance of Xiangrui is often accompanied by clouds, and clouds have gradually become the proof of Xiangrui. Through a figurative, tangible illustration, this cloud formation is agrobial, vigorous, and rhythmic cloud patterns.
The flowing curves and the staggered structure of the rotation reflect the general tendency of the Chinese nation's aesthetic feeling or aesthetic psychology - keen on the beauty of flowing forms. The cloud pattern has a strong meaning of rising sun and auspicious wishes, and is a microcosm of the peak of The Xiangrui culture of the Han Dynasty. The cloud pattern emphasizes the overall beauty and highlights the vivid rhyme, which can be said to be one of the most romantic and artistic patterns in Chinese history.
Artifact prototype
The "Five Stars Out of the East and China" brocade armband is a pattern of cloud qi animal patterns, and has auspicious characters. In 1995, the "Sino-Japanese Niya Ruins Joint Expedition Team" of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology found a brocade woven with the pattern of "Five Stars Out of the East and Benefiting China" in a high-specification royal tomb at the Niya Ruins in Minfeng County, Xinjiang (the "JingzhiGuo" of the oasis city-state in the Han and Jin Dynasties). According to research, this tapestry is the arm guard ("shooting" when shooting arrows), dating from the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, the end of the 1st century to the end of the 2nd century AD. The brocade is highly concerned at home and abroad with its brilliant colors, mysterious and magical patterns, and the words contained therein, and are hailed as one of the greatest discoveries of Chinese archaeology in the 20th century.
Cultural stories
The immortals in mythology all come by stepping on the clouds. The ancients believed that in order to see the immortals and attain eternity, longevity, and wealth, they must first find their "qi."
Today's sons and daughters of China are going to soar to the sky. In the past 5 years, Chang'e Moon, Beidou Guiding, Zhu Rong Exploring Fire, Xihe Day by Day, Heaven and The Stars, "Wukong" and "Wise Eye" have explored the mysteries of the universe, Chinese the people to forge ahead, create new achievements, and achieve new leaps. We create myths, we witness miracles, we find the "qi" of a happy life.
Search up and down, and stop at the highest good. This is the ambition, backbone, and confidence of the Chinese people. The yearning of the Chinese people for a better life at all stages of the party's century-old struggle has continuously become a reality.
The Communist Party of China has united and led the people of all nationalities throughout the country to struggle for a hundred years, so that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process and has completely changed the spiritual outlook of the country and the people. More confident, self-reliant, self-reliant, self-reliant Chinese people, on the way forward, more determined, harder backbone, more confident.
May this cloud pattern and the auspicious Qirui of "five stars out of the East benefit China" inspire the fighting spirit of the new era, inspire us to make new contributions to the prosperity and strength of the motherland and the peaceful development of mankind, and open a new chapter in history.
