Twenty-eight constellations Kangjinlong, Mother Earth Bat, Fangri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tail Fire Tiger, Jishui Leopard, Unicorn, Niujinniu, Nyctereute, Rising Sun Rat, Dangerous Moon Swallow, Indoor Fire Pig, Wall Water Deer, Kuimu Wolf, Loujin Dog, Stomach Earth Cockroach, Ruori Chicken, Biyue Harrier and Miri Chicken. 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 ancients here. On the standard of dividing the sky area, 28 constellations and three elements (Tai Weiyuan, Zi Weiyuan and Tianshiyuan) are the standard of this standard, which is consistent with the twelve constellations in the west, and most of them are humanistic. Another major manifestation of the four ancient gods in China was military affairs. During the Warring States period, there was a saying that there was a suzaku in front and a basalt in the back, a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, which was simply an orientation map. Twenty-eight constellations first sprouted in Xia and Shang Dynasties, and then developed further in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period recorded in Shangshu and Zuoshi Chunqiu. The early 28 constellations were mainly used to observe astronomy and meteorology, which was of great help to agriculture at that time, and it was also possible to divide seasons at that time, which was used as the current calendar. The earliest record of the western calendar was in the Babylonian period. We can look at the ancient people's division of the week from the following poems: April 6, April 16, and the twenty-eight stars are just ancient calendars. In Songshan, there is the earliest observatory in China, the Stargazing Observatory, which was built in the early Yuan Dynasty. Guo Shoujing once re-observed the positions of the twenty-eight stars and other constant stars here, and compiled the most advanced calendar at that time-Service Calendar. The rise of Taoism is a turning point in astrology. Taoism has a new explanation for the 28 stars. They think that the twenty-eight stars are the gods who protect the four beasts, and the four gods are the gods who protect heaven and earth. So there are the so-called four gods. They think that Suzaku represents the sky, so it is supreme; Qinglong and Baihu are symbols of power and prestige, and Xuanwu is the most special. According to legend, Xuanwu is the youngest and weirdest of the nine sons of the Yellow Emperor, because it is like a turtle and a snake, but it can live for tens of thousands of years. From the current point of view, it is just a turtle, so Xuanwu represents longevity. Taoism also arranges many maps according to the directions of the four gods and the twenty-eight stars, such as the "Jiuqu Yellow River Array". Later, these evolved into feng shui. Twenty-eight stars are an important theoretical basis for the ancients to infer the good and bad luck of a day. The origin of 28 homestays is very early. Initially, they were 28 groups of stars (or constellations) used by the ancients to observe the running coordinates of the sun, moon and five stars. The ancients believed that the positions of the stars were constant, and they could be used as symbols to explain the positions of the sun, the moon and the five stars. After long-term observation, the ancients chose 28 stars near the equator of the ecliptic as coordinates. Because they revolve around the sun, the moon and the five stars, they are very similar to the places where the sun, the moon and the five stars live, so they are called twenty-eight lodges. The ancients also divided twenty-eight lodgings into four palaces, east, south, west and north, with seven lodgings in each palace. Each palace imagines its seven residences as an animal image, which is considered as "four souls and squares of heaven". The seven nights of the East Palace Black Dragon are: Jiao, Kang, Bian, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji; The seven nights that Nangong Suzaku belongs to are: well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and bird; The seven lodgings of Xigong White Tiger are: Kui, Lou, Stomach, Ang, Bi, Gou and Shen; Gong Bei Xuanwu (tortoise and snake) belongs to seven nights: fighting, cattle, women, emptiness, danger, houses and walls. Twenty-eight Hostels are not only the coordinates for observing the positions of the sun, the moon and the five stars, but also some of them are the observation objects for the ancients to determine the age and season. For example, when you just passed out, staying in the south is the first month of spring, staying in the south is the summer of May, and so on. The Twenty-eight Nights are surrounded by celestial phenomena, which run in cycles and are in charge of four celestial phenomena, namely, the east, the west, the north and the south, so as to divide the changes of day and night, the alternation of cold and heat, the number of yin and the number of Yang Qi. With the passage of time, the 28 stars have been given different meanings of good and bad, which is another important theoretical basis for the ancients to choose the date. The saying of Twenty-eight Hostels exists not only in China, but also in ancient Indian, ancient Roman and other ancient cultures, but with different names and meanings. Twenty-eight homestays take turns on duty to break the origin of good luck and bad luck, which is difficult to study in detail now, and this method has been adopted in the almanac of the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, folk warlocks matched 28 kinds of animals, further developing the connotation of 28 stars. It records the good luck and bad luck of 28 kinds of animals in 28 places in detail, and attaches a popular book of auspicious days in the form of popular songs for your reference. 1. Seven Nights of the Oriental Black Dragon 1. Jiaozi: It belongs to wood. It is a kind of jiaozi. As the first of the Seven Nights in the East, it has two stars, such as the black dragon horns. Dragon horn is the first to fight and kill, so it is more fierce. Staying in the corner on duty is not light, and it is impossible to sacrifice marriage. If this day is still buried, disaster will happen within three years. 2, accommodation: gold, for the dragon. It is the second lodging place in the East, and it is the neck of the black dragon. The dragon neck is guarded by the dragon horn, and change drives the whole body, so it is auspicious. The star of Kangsu can be found, and there are good reasons for marriage sacrifice. When buried, there will be officials and nobles, the door will be opened and the water will be released. 3. Lodging: It belongs to soil and raccoon (that is, badger). The tree is root-oriented. If a tree has roots, it can support Tianzhu upward and go deep into the roots downward, but when its roots are exposed, it is the time when plants turn yellow in winter. "Historical Records" records: "Bian, the home of the East, says that everything comes." The Pleiades is the third lodging place in the East, and everything is clear about the chest of the black dragon. The chest of the dragon is the key to the center of the dragon and the most important thing, so it is auspicious. The Pleiadian star Jiqing made a fortune and made great contributions. If he is buried on this day, he will make money within one year.
