The new treasure on the Spring Festival Gala
On January 21, 2023, the dance drama "Five Stars Out of the East" and "Splendid" made a stunning appearance at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, presenting Chinese historical and cultural treasures to the global audience, which was fascinating. The dancers swayed in their costumes, danced their sleeves and flew, and were placed in the Han Dynasty loom with intertwined colors and warp and weft, hiding the sun, moon and stars in the sleeves of the flying clothes, dancing out the majestic Han and weaving splendid rivers and mountains.
The creation of the dance drama originated from the cultural relics "Five Stars Out of the East and Benefit China" brocade in the collection of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum. On January 18, 2002, "Five Star" Jinjin was listed in the national "Catalogue of the First Batch of Cultural Relics Prohibited from Going Abroad (Border) for Exhibition" due to its special historical, artistic and scientific value.
The "Five Star" brocade is exquisite in craftsmanship, magnificent in patterns and exciting in words, reflecting the highest level of silk weaving in the Han Dynasty. The gorgeous brocade is particularly curious:
When and where was it weaved?
How did it come to Xinjiang?
What is the auspicious bird and beast pattern?
