На англ. форуме KTTC была создана тема о карте Сяо Фенга. На карте есть китайские иероглифы. И форумчанин (PirateHaunter)
попытался перевести некоторые надписи. Привожу здесь текст на англ. + картинки для наглядности, а также ссылку на первоисточник: Translation of Sao Feng's navigational chart
Интересное наблюдение: на карте изображены два персонажа (Джек и Элизабет).
Информация о карте
"Nothing here is set. These can't be as accurate as modern charts."
"No. But it leads to more places."
―William Turner and Tai Huang.
The Mao Kun map, also known as Sao Feng's navigational charts or the Map to the Land of the Dead, was a nautical chart that could be used as a map to locate some of the world's more obscure and mystical places, including the Farthest Gate and the Fountain of Youth. It is unknown exactly when the chart was created, but it is known to have been made at some point after 1523.
History
Wu Ling
The Mao Kun map was presented to the esteemed and great navigator Wu Ling for his journeys to the mysterious gates of the afterlife. The map leads to spiritual realms and legends of the land beyond death. It was compiled by the four explorers of the Dark Dynasty. Wu Ling would have the Mao Kun map passed down from generations to generations.
Obtaining the charts
"Earlier this day, not far from here, a thief broke into my most revered uncle’s temple and tried to make off with these: the navigational charts, the route to the Farthest Gate."
―Sao Feng.
The map was later stored in the temple of Sao Feng's wizened uncle, as Feng did not want the salty air of his waterfront lair to damage the chart's delicate pigmentation. He was also known to carry it on his back when using them for navigation. The chart was moved to Feng's bath house after William Turner tried to steal it for Hector Barbossa. During the Battle of Singapore, Will made a deal with Feng that procured Barbossa's crew the chart, leading them to World's End and Davy Jones' Locker beyond.
Journey to Davy Jones' Locker
" 'Over the edge. Over again'. 'Sunrise sets. Flash of green'...Do you care to interpret, Captain Barbossa?"
―Will Turner to Hector Barbossa.
After escaping Singapore with the Hai Peng, along with the map, they've made their journey to World's End. The crew used the navigational charts throughout their journey to World's End. As they were getting closer, they sailed through waters that reflected the stars so perfectly that it was nearly impossible to find the horizon. They soon realized that in order to go to Davy Jones' Locker, they had to go over a massive waterfall. Upon reaching the it, the ship was cast down the waterfall and destroyed.
Escaping the Locker
"Up is down...well that's maddeningly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?"
―Jack Sparrow on the navigational chart.
Barbossa still had the charts when they arrived in the Locker and joined Jack Sparrow on the Black Pearl. After which, they have tried to figure out a way to return to the land of the living. Sparrow later deciphered the chart's cryptic message, "Up is Down" on how to escape from the Locker and return to the land of the living: to flip the ship over by sundown. So Sparrow, along with the rest of the crew, flipped the Pearl over. When the sun sets, the green flash shoots up to the sky and transports the Black Pearl, along with its crewman, to the land of the living.
The Fountain of Youth
"It would make us feel a whole lot better, regarding our fortunes, if we could see that 'item' you told us about."
"On the charts."
―Pintel and Marty to Hector Barbossa.
Following the death of Lord Cutler Beckett, Barbossa stole the Pearl from Jack once again, with the charts in his possession. Although Jack was left with a dingy. Jack anticipated this treachery, so he stole the middle part of Sao Feng's charts from Barbossa and began his quest to find the Fountain of Youth. Barbossa also planned on finding it, but it was postponed because of the loss of the part of the charts. The charts postulated that it was located in Florida, as it was where Juan Ponce de León tried to search for the Fountain. Jack then sailed, with the charts, to begin his search.
The further use of the charts are unknown.
Design
This navigational chart was believed to have been painted on washi-handmade Japanese rice paper. It was comprised of several rings upon which a map of the world was etched. By rotating the rings and lining one up with another, a reader could use the chart to find any number of mystical locations.
The Chinese symbols on the map could be deciphered to reveal such locations as "Ghosts of Lost Souls at Sea to be Shepherded Through the Watery Passageway,” “Forgotten Sailors Sleep with Eyes Open Dreaming of a Salt Water Death” and “The Rich Man Finds No More Hope of Continued Life-Death Will Always Be A Stairway Behind". Images of dragons—harbingers of good fortune in war—and tigers—devourers of evil spirits—could be found on the chart. The central ring depicted an intrepid junk surrounded by the phases of the moon.
Behind the scenes
In real-world history, the Mao Kun map was a series of maps published in the late-Ming Dynasty military encyclopedia, WuBei Zhi. Believed to be based on the travels of Zheng He, they showed sailing directions between ports of Southeast Asia and the northern Indian Ocean, as far as Malindi.
The navigational chart prop was created by conceptual consultant James Ward Byrkit. He included several mythological creatures on the chart, as well as a Hidden Mickey (lower right quarter) which looks to be an early version of Mickey, and images of Elizabeth Swann and Jack Sparrow (lower left quarter).

PirateHaunter писал(а):From the DVD extra, I understand the artist, James Ward Byrkit, spent a lot of time researching and trying to come up with the graphics and lettering to use in the chart, but there was no mention of what the lettering means.
I am a Far East linguist, so I decided to take a crack at it.
On the back, I can only make out "Heaven" and "Hell" above and below the crest, respectively. The other text is too faint. (I believe Acme used the characters for "Pirate" and "Eternal" instead.)
On the front of the chart (the non-moving version), in the very middle below the junk is "Hell" and to the left is "Secret". On the large ring, the large characters surely represent the four symbols of the Chinese constellation, with "Vermillion Bird" on the bottom (South), "White Tiger" on the left (West), "Black Devil" on top (North), and "Azure Dragon" on the right (East). However, according to the traditional Chinese constellation, North is supposed to be "Black Tortoise" not "Black Demon", and while the characters for the South do mean "Vermillion (or Red) Bird", non-traditional characters are used here.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. A close look on this same ring with the four symbols reveals a series of dots and dashes. These are not Morse code, mind you, but binary code (used by Chinese several thousands of years ago!), and are used in Feng Shui cоmpasses to denote one of eight Trigrams that represent an element, direction, phenomena, and family member. I'm sure the artist was heavily inspired by a Feng Shui cоmpass. Adjacent to this code are a series of numbers in Chinese and other characters representing the elements and other concepts that I cannot translate at the moment, but the thing totally looks like a Feng Shui cоmpass. (Maybe Jack can use it to redesign his captain's cabin!)
In researching the meaning of the text to either side of the chart, it appears the far bottom right text is the title describing the document, something like "the secret passageways of the entire world" and the author (you guessed it)--"Davy Jones". I will have to further research the top left text.
I understand that somewhere on the chart are the phrases "Ghosts of Lost Souls at Sea to be Shepherded Through the Watery Passageway,” “Forgotten Sailors Sleep with Eyes Open Dreaming of a Salt Water Death” and “The Rich Man Finds No More Hope of Continued Life-Death Will Always Be A Stairway Behind”. But I have yet to locate these.
Note that this version of the chart does not seem to contain any reference to "Aqua de Vida" or the Fountain of Youth. It looks like that only appears on the moving version, as seen in the final scene of AWE. I wonder if that was a last minute addition?

Можно текст использовать, доработать? И потом полной статьей выложить здесь?
Все ружья стрелять должны, хотя ТиТ, наверное, слегка сами запутались в куче сюжетных линий и не смогли некоторые из них раскрыть 
Вполне возможно, что решили опустить детали.
