The Star Gauge (Chinese: 璇璣圖; pinyin: Xuánjī Tú), or translated as "the armillary sphere chart", is the posthumous title given to a 4th-century Classical Chinese poem written by the Former Qin poet Su Hui for her husband during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. It consists of a 29-by-29 grid of characters, forming a reversible poem that can be read in different ways to yield roughly 3,000 smaller rhyming poems. The original was described by contemporary sources as shuttle-woven on brocade. It was composed by Su Hui during a time when East Asian Mādhyamaka was one of the predominant philosophical schools in the area.

A xuanji, a jade disc with a serrated edge, used as an astronomical tool, is mentioned in the title of the Star Gauge. Neolithic 3000 BC (?), China. Royal Museums of Art and History (MRAH), Jubilee Park, Brussels.

In this environment where time is transformed into abstract, exactly measurable, physical space, an environment at once the cause and effect of the scientifically and mechanically fragmented and specialised production of the object of labour, the subjects of labour must likewise be rationally fragmented. On the one hand, the objectification of their labour-power into something opposed to their total personality (a process already accomplished with the sale of that labour-power as a commodity) is now made into the permanent ineluctable reality of their daily life. Here, too, the personality can do no more than look on helplessly while its own existence is reduced to an isolated particle and fed into an alien system. On the other hand, the mechanical disintegration of the process of production into its components also destroys those bonds that had bound individuals to a community in the days when production was still "organic." In this respect, too, mechanisation makes of them isolated abstract atoms whose work no longer brings them together directly and organically; it becomes mediated to an increasing extent exclusively by the abstract laws of the mechanism which imprisons them.

Sven Hedin, a Swedish explorer, documented Zoroastrian Towers of Silence (dakhmas) near Tehran, Iran, around 1898. These circular, raised structures were used for excarnation, where bodies were exposed to vultures and the elements to avoid contaminating the earth.
