What is the zodiac star god?

edit

Twenty-eight nights, also known as "twenty-eight homes" or "twenty-eight stars". In ancient China, in order to observe the astronomical phenomena and the movements of the five stars of the sun, the moon and the moon, 28 star officials were selected as observation signs, which were called "Twenty-eight Hostels". Divided into four groups on average, each group has seven nights, with four directions of east, west, north and south and animal images such as Qinglong, white tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu (collectively called tortoise and snake), which are called "four elephants" in Taoism. The concept of four elephants and twenty-eight lodgings was formed very early, and it was recorded at the beginning of the Warring States Period. Later, the Book of Rites Qu Lishang said: "Before the trip, Zhu Bird followed Xuanwu, and Zuo Long followed the right white tiger." Confucius said, "Zhu Bird, Xuanwu, Qinglong and Baihu are also named after these four places." In the Han Dynasty, the book Shang Shu Kao Ling Yao said: "Twenty-eight nights are the vitality of the sky and the essence of everything. Therefore, the Oriental Corner, Kang, Bian, Fu, Heart, Tail and Basket are seven nights, and their shape is like a dragon, which is called Zuo Qinglong. Nanjing, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing and Bird stayed for seven nights, which looked like quail birds and were called' former Suzaku'. In the west, there are Wei Xiao, Lou, Wei, Chang, Bi, Gou and Shen for seven nights, which are shaped like tigers and called' right white tigers'. North, fighting, cows, women, emptiness, danger, rooms and walls are seven nights. Shaped like a tortoise and snake, it is called' post-Xuanwu'. " (1) Taoism personifies this celestial phenomenon and gives it a name, color and work to pay tribute to it. Twenty-four Nights in Seven Stars Cloud says: "A is the official Yang Shen, who is the Lord of the stars, and nine Yang Shen, whose surname is Bin Ming, dressed in a mysterious blue suit, is the Lord of the stars. B follows Guan Yin God, who is the Lord of Kang Xing God. There are four Yin gods, surnamed Sima. The horse's head is naked, dressed in red light clothing, holding a sword, and prospering the Lord. " (2) The remaining 26 lodgings are of this kind. The book "Five-star Hostel in Taishang Shen Dong: The Classic of Sun and Moon Mixing" describes the appearance and behavior of these 28 hostels. Yue: "The essence of the horn star often swims in the temple after beginning of spring's birthday, slightly blushing, asking about Zen rituals, or swimming in restaurants to drink by himself. People with knowledge ask for it, which shows more about the skill of people's life." "The essence of Samsung is eloquent, tolerant and comfortable, and often walks with people day and night, dressed in blue and white clothes, swimming in the crowd or Lenten, that is, asking for it and saving the world with others." (3) The other 24 stay in this category.

The history of four images

The Han people imagine the seven nights in the east, west, north and south as four kinds of animals, called the four elephants. Seven nights in the East Palace are like flying dragons in the air in late spring and early summer, so they are called the Black Dragon in the East Palace. The seven nights in the north appear as snakes and turtles in the night sky in late summer and early autumn, so it is called Gong Bei Xuanwu; The seven-night tiger in the west jumps out of the night sky in late autumn and early winter, so it is called the West Palace White Tiger. South Seven Nights is like a Suzaku spreading its wings and flying, appearing in the night sky in the middle of winter and early spring, so it is called Nangong Suzaku.

The four images (four spirits) synthesized by twenty-eight lodges are more respected by Taoism. The main feature is to use it as a patron saint. Ge Hong's "Miscellaneous Answers in Bao Puzi" regards it as the bodyguard of the old gentleman, saying that the old gentleman "has twelve dragons on the left, twenty-six white tigers on the right, twenty-four suzaku before, and seventy-two basalts after"; He also said that "this matter comes from the immortal scriptures." (4) The secret of prolonging life is that the seven-yuan pavilion of the Northern Emperor is even named: "On the left, there is a blue dragon named Meng Zhang, and on the right, there is a white tiger named prison soldier. In front of it, there is a rosefinch named Lingguang, and then there is a Xuanwu named Zhiming. They build festivals and hold buildings, and they are surrounded by bells and drums." This is the patron saint of Taoist priests. Later, Taoist temples also carved statues of green dragons and white tigers in front of the mountain gates as the patron saints of the temple. In the Qing Dynasty, Yao Fujun's "The Legacy of Casting Ding" has a cloud:

"Song Fanzhi can say in Yueyang Local Customs:' There are two gods in Laozi Temple, the so-called Qinglong and Baihu.' Yao Ming Zong Yi's "Private Records of Changshu" describes the scene of the temple: "There are two great gods at the entrance of the Taoist temple, Alina Zhang, the god of Qinglong, on the left and the god of white tiger on the right". "

Sifang and Siling have only been regarded as backers since ancient times, and their status is not very high.

However, since the Song Dynasty, Xuanwu God has been revered separately, becoming a famous Zhenwu emperor and Tian Xuan God, and being worshipped as a Taoist god. Especially in the Ming Dynasty. This is related to the fact that Ming Taizu, especially the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, used it to deify imperial power.

The four gods, namely, Qinglong, Suzaku, Baihu and Xuanwu, are the gods guarding the southeast and northwest in ancient Chinese legends. Their order is southeast and northwest: Qinglong, Suzaku, Baihu and Xuanwu. There are records of 28 stars in early summer. Every star is made up of several stars, and some names appear in The Book of Songs and Historical Records. According to the position of 28 stars, it is divided into seven nights of Qinglong, seven nights of Suzaku, seven nights of Baihu and seven nights of Xuanwu. The specific names are as follows:

Seven nights in Qinglong: Jiao Mujiao Kang Jinlong Nyctereute Fang Ri Rabbit Heart Moon Fox Tail Fire Tiger Basket Water Leopard

Suzaku Seven Nights: Muan Jing Ghost Golden Sheep, Six Rabbits, Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake and Water Worm.

White tigers in the seven nights: the golden dog, the stomach soil, the pheasant and the Bigou fire monkey.

Seven nights in Xuanwu: unicorn, ox, Taurus, female soil, bat, virtual sun mouse, dangerous moon, swallowing room fire, pig wall water.

Every night is made up of different numbers of stars, some of which include ten to dozens of stars, such as Su Kui and Su Rong. Some constellations consist of only two or three stars, such as arcturus and Heart. In ancient times, the Han people used imaginary lines to connect the stars that make up every night, thus forming various shapes of graphics.

The skip in Twenty-eight Nights consists of four stars, like a dustpan; Dousu consists of six stars, like an ancient wine spoon.

There is a "fight"; The well house consists of eight stars, such as the shape of the well and so on. ....。 The more famous is the Pleiades, located in Taurus, also known as Seven Sisters; Sailors used to measure their eyesight by counting the stars in this area. There is Betelgeuse, which is actually Orion; Xinsu, also called Shangsu, is a Scorpio; "It's almost as difficult for friends to meet, and as for the stars in the morning and evening" refers to these two places, Scorpio and Orion. The haunted house, commonly known as "corpse gas", is located in Cancer. Twenty-eight stars are divided into four elephants, and seven nights are one elephant.

The three walls (Taiwei Wall, Weizi Wall and Shi Tian Wall) at 28 nights were the standard for dividing celestial bodies in ancient China, while the ancient west also divided the orbit of the sun into twelve regions, which coincided with the east. The western zodiac is the so-called twelve constellations, but the west is mainly humanistic, so it develops intriguing romantic stories, while the east combines with nature to develop the zodiac culture closely related to animals.

In ancient times, the Han people used 28 stars as a symbol to measure the position and movement of the sun, the moon and the moon, so it is not difficult to understand the astronomical phenomena such as "the moon leaves Soapy", "Mars stays in Antares" (that is, Mars stays in Antares) and "Taibai eats the Pleiades" (that is, Venus covers the Pleiades). Twenty-eight stars are not only the coordinates for observing the five-star positions of the sun, the moon and the sun, but some of them are the observation objects determined by the ancients throughout the year. For example, in the pre-Qin period, the ancient Han people thought that when they fainted for the first time, their hearts would be in the south, that is, in May of summer, and staying in the south was the first month of spring.

Starry sky area

With the development of astronomical knowledge, the concept of starry sky division appeared, and 28 stars are also the concept of starry sky area. Divide the week near the ecliptic into 28 unequal points from west to east.

In ancient times, these four gods were used in military formations. During the Warring States period, there was a saying that "Suzaku was in front, Xuanwu was behind, and the left dragon was right and the white tiger was right". After the rise of Taoism, Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu became the patron saints of Taoism. This is also one of the sources of the zodiac, but that is another story.

As far as stars are concerned, each star has its own attributes and representative objects. This may be China people's belief in nature, but it is also a means of astronomical observation. I have to admire the wisdom of the ancient Han people here. On the standard of dividing the sky area, 28 constellations and three elements (Tai Weiyuan, Zi Weiyuan and Tian Shiyuan) are the standard of this standard, which is consistent with the twelve constellations in the west, mostly humanistic.

Another major manifestation of the four ancient gods in China lies in military affairs. During the Warring States period, there was a saying that "the former Suzaku was behind Xuanwu, and the left dragon was right and the white tiger was right", which was simply an orientation map.

The East Palace Black Dragon belongs to seven hotels: Jiao, Kang, Bian, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji.

Seven nights of Suzaku in Nangong: well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and bird.

The seven nights of the West Palace White Tiger are: Kui, Lou, Wei, Chang, Bi, Gou and Shen.

Gong Bei Xuanwu (tortoise and snake) belongs to seven nights: fighting, ox, female, emptiness, danger, house and wall.

Pleiades:

It belongs to the soil, and it is a raccoon (that is, a badger). This tree faces the root.

"Historical Records" records: "Di, the home of the East, said that everything comes." The Pleiades is the third night in the East, the breast of the black dragon, and everything is clear. The dragon's chest is the key to the dragon center and the most important, so it is auspicious.

Otsuka:

Fire is a tiger. It is the sixth house of the East, and nine planets in the tail house forms the tail of the black dragon. The dragon's tail is the most vulnerable part in fighting and killing, so it is more fierce.

Jisu:

It belongs to water and leopard. It was the last night in the East, and it was a whirlwind caused by the swinging of the dragon's tail. So, just stay in the wind. Once it is particularly bright, it is a sign of the wind. Therefore, it represents the image of a person who is good at stirring up right and wrong and the main tongue, so it is very fierce.

Gisu is harmful to men and women on duty, and the official is not a beginner. All repairs are unprofitable, and marriage is lonely and empty.

Betelgeuse is not as prosperous as Shi Chong. The funeral is auspicious, and the house is full of clothes, food, cattle and horses.

South Suzaku Seven Nights

Haunted house:

Belong to gold and be a sheep. For the second night in the south, it was like a hat on Suzaku's head. When birds are frightened, feathers will grow on their heads. People call what they are most afraid of but don't exist "ghosts". Therefore, the haunted house is named, and the Lord is frightened, but he will always regain his spirit, so it is more auspicious.

There is great joy in the haunted house on duty. Fu Lin is lucky and has a successful career, and the family is reunited to welcome the Spring Festival.

Liu Su:

Belonging to soil, it is roe. It's the third night in the south, and I live in Suzaku's mouth. Suzaku's mouth is shaped like willow leaves (birds' mouths are mostly the same in shape), and the mouth is used for eating, so it's lucky to keep willow leaves.

Liu Su established his master's money, wealth and wealth and went home. He used this day to bury his marriage and recruited Fulu to lead Rongchang.

Stars:
