Dancers perform the Five Stars Rise in the East on February 15, 2023, in Beijing. The performance, which turned out to be a hit during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, is set to head out on a national tour. It was inspired by a Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220) brocade armband embroidered with the words “Five stars rise in the east, benefiting China,” which was unearthed in the Hotan Prefecture, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
