What do the stars in China mean?

The stars are one of China's ancient astronomical theories, which divide the stars in the southern transit into 28 groups. According to them, the celestial phenomena around celestial bodies that move endlessly along the ecliptic and equator and distribute in four directions, east, west, north and south, are named by metaphysicists as: horn, sound, surname, room, heart, tail, dustpan, bucket, cow and tail.

Twenty-eight stars are widely used in metaphysics, such as geography, choosing the date, Yi-ology, divination and so on.

Twenty-eight nights are astronomical stars. Twenty-eight Nights is centered on Polaris, also known as the Big Dipper and the Arctic Purple.

The so-called constellation of the night refers to the constellation of the sky, with "Qinglong" in the east, "Suzaku" in the south, "White Tiger" in the west and "Xuanwu" in the north.

There are seven hotels in each of the 28 B&Bs, with different number of stars. Seven hotels in the east have 32 stars, seven hotels in the south have 64 stars, seven hotels in the west have 5 1 star, and seven hotels in the north have 35 stars. They all have 182 stars, and they follow a certain track. We call it the ecliptic.
