Product Story-The Starry Sky in Chinese Traditional Culture
Astronomical Calendars, Legendary Tales, and Poetry
Ancient Chinese developed the romantic legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl from the stars Altair and Vega, which became the origin of the traditional Chinese festival, Qixi (the "Chinese Valentine's Day").
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which originated from ancient moon worship, featured imperial rituals and popular customs of moon gazing. The story of Chang’e flying to the moon added a romantic and mystical charm to the festival.
Stars symbolize enduring love. As poet Li Shangyin wrote, "Last night the stars and wind, the drawing room to the west, the osmanthus hall to the east," and Huang Zhongze’s words, "These stars are not from last night, who stands in the midnight dew for whom?"
Stars also symbolize nobility. In ancient China, stars were often used to represent important figures, with "Emperor Star," "General Star," and "Minister Star" signifying rulers and officials, while scholars were referred to as the "Wenquxing" (Star of Literature).
Beijing Watch · Beihai Starry Sky Men’s Watch
The cosmos, the stars, and the wonders of astronomy are integral parts of Chinese culture. From ancient observations of celestial movements, the Chinese developed a profound understanding of time, which guided both agriculture and society. These celestial dreams gave rise to a multitude of myths, stories, and poems, where stars became powerful symbols of love, power, and destiny.
In the Beihai Starry Sky men’s watch, Beijing Watch draws inspiration from the starry skies over Beihai Park, a royal garden in Beijing. This timepiece merges traditional cultural tales with modern craftsmanship to bring the brilliance of the stars and the vastness of the universe into a compact, elegant design.
The Beihai Starry Sky watch captures the magnificent beauty of the stars within the confines of a wristwatch, evoking the vast, glittering expanse of the heavens. This masterpiece is a tribute to the radiant culture of the East and is dedicated to the contemporary youth who reach for the stars with ambition and grace.
