Kang Jinlong, Mother Bat, Fang Ri Rabbit, Heart Moon Fox, Tail Fire Tiger, Jishui Leopard, Unicorn,

Niujinniu, Nyctereute, Sunrise Rat, Dangerous Moon Swallow, Chamber of Fire Pig, Wall Water, Kuimu Wolf,

Lou Jingou, Stomach over Soil, Li Rifeng, Bi, Gunshot Monkey,

Ghost golden sheep, willow deer, star horse, moon deer, winged fire snake, water earthworm.

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 see the division of the ancient week from the following poems:

Four five six one two three

Horn cavity, heart and tail

Virtual danger of women in the afternoon

Quilo stomach angbi mouth ginseng

Well ghost Liu Yiyi

It can be seen that the so-called 28 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 28 constellations and other constant stars here, and compiled the most advanced calendar at that time-the time 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 dormitories are on duty in turn to break the origin of good luck and bad luck ... ";

Question 3: What does the explanation of the stars in the Gregorian calendar mean? The stars in the 5 o'clock yellow calendar are also called 28 nights. It originated very early and was first used by the ancients to observe the movements 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, which were called Twenty-eight Hostels. The ancients took turns keeping diaries for twenty-eight nights, with one night representing one day and starting again on Sunday, with twenty-eight days as a cycle. It is divided into East Seven Nights, West Seven Nights, South Seven Nights and North Seven Nights. It is also to determine the quality of one night and judge it with 28 nights. The representative works about the choice of good or ill luck are Hee Sa Flat House Book and Choosing a Lucky Meeting.

Question 4: What do the 28 stars in the Gregorian calendar mean?

Kang Jinlong, Mother Bat, Fang Ri Rabbit, Heart Moon Fox, Tail Fire Tiger, Jishui Leopard, Unicorn,

Niujinniu, Nyctereute, Sunrise Rat, Dangerous Moon Swallow, Chamber of Fire Pig, Wall Water, Kuimu Wolf,

"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.

4. Accommodation:

Today, for rabbits. The fourth lodging place in the East is the belly room of the black dragon, which was called "Yi Tian" by the ancients, and the meaning of lodging with the dragon as a heavenly horse is four stars.

Accommodation on duty is difficult to complete, and most of the work is unlucky. It's unlucky to bury it. It's been a disaster for three years.

5. Heart:

For the moon, for the fox. The fifth night in the east, black dragon waist. The heart is fire, which is the star to wait for in the first month of summer. It is usually used with House Accommodation to discuss "the central government dominates all directions". The dragon's waist where the kidney is located is the source of metabolism, so it can't be taken lightly, so it is more fierce.

If you worry about evil stars, you will get hurt when you start creating men and women. You can't use this day to bury the grave. In three years, you will see the plague.

6. Endurance:

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.

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

Second, the northern Xuanwu seven nights

For the first night in the north, it was named after its constellation combination, and the ancients also called it the "Temple of Heaven", which belonged to the son of heaven.

10, Guest House:

It belongs to soil and is a painting (bat). As the third lodging place in the north, its constellation combination is like a dustpan and looks like the word "female".

1 1 virtual accommodation:

For the day, for the mouse. For the fourth night in the north, the ancients called it "Tianjie". Spending the night in the south is solstice winter. The birth of the sun from winter to morning is the beginning of a new year, just as the birth of the sun at noon means the beginning of a new day, which brings people good expectations and hopes, so it is auspicious to waste time.
