Tung-Kuang –Hsun-Chang Established on March 5, 1943 in 9 classes “to commemorate the return of the national government to Nanking on that day” (although another Japanese reference book gives the date of establishment as 25 February 1943). As we know (thanks to James Peterson and Richard LaTondre ) "this order have typical Chinese design and manufacture, as is the sash and also the presentation case, which is of brocade silk. The badge of the Special Grand Cordon has a 5 point star in white, in a red ring bearing nine gilt stars, in a blue ring with nine white clouds, on an 8 point star of narrow rays, on 8 large double-pointed rays enameled alternately and it is suspended from a gilt cloud design which is suspended from a gilt ball-tipped 5 point star. The sash is 100mm unwatered raw silk, red with 19mm yellow edges. The breast star is (blank) mm, gilt, and has a (blank) mm silver 5 point star on white in a red circle bearing 9 gilt stars, in a blue ring bearing 9 white clouds on an 8 point star of 32 double-pointed, white enameled silver rays, superimposed on 8 large double-pointed gilt rays enameled alternately blue and white, and with (blank) rays in the angles.
