该石刻星象图1965年出土于五代吴越国王钱元瓘墓的后室顶部,刻于后晋天福六年(941)。全图星象以阴线刻画,刻工精细,位置准确,现存石刻星数183颗,星与星之间用双线连接。它比苏州宋代石刻天文星象图早三百多年,面积大四倍,是世界上现存最早的石刻星象图之一。
This drawing was engraved inside atop Wuyue King Qian Yuanguan’s tomb chamber in 941. However, it was unearthed in 1965. Because of exquisite intaglio and accurate locating, 183 interlinked stars look vivid today. Research shows that it appeared 300-odd years ahead of a similar pattern of the Song dynasty. Besides, the former is 4 times larger than the latter. It is by far one of the earliest stone-carved star charts in the world.
