In ancient times, the ancients in China looked up at the stars near the ecliptic, and divided the astrology near the ecliptic into several regions, which were called Twenty-eight Nights. They are also divided into four palaces: East, South, West and North. Each palace has seven residences. They imagine the seven residences belonging to each palace as an animal and think that they are "the four spirits of heaven and square".

The ancients successively 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. Twenty-eight stars are used to indicate the positions of the sun, the moon and the five stars.

As an important part of China's traditional culture, the Twenty-eight Stars are widely used in ancient astronomy, religion, literature, astrology, geomantic omen, lucky choice and so on. Different fields have given it different connotations, and the related contents are also very complicated.
