Questions about constellations
The constellation originated from the primitive Babylonians on the Mesopotamian plain. They divide the ecliptic plane into 12 regions, which are called "zodiac signs", and the zodiac signs correspond to twelve constellations respectively. The boundaries of the twelve constellations are divided according to the time points of qi (vernal equinox, Grain Rain, Xiaoman, summer solstice, summer heat, autumnal equinox, first frost, light snow, winter solstice, severe cold and rain) in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar (note: the twenty-four solar terms are divided into 12 qi and1). The order of the twelve constellations is: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Although the western horoscope and China's birth numerology are two completely different life fate prediction systems, there are striking similarities between the westerners' division of the twelve horoscope and the division of twelve months (months) in the eight-character fortune-telling invented by China. These two forecasting systems are based on the unique creation of 24 solar terms in China calendar. The twelve months of the lunar calendar in China are based on 12 solar terms (beginning of spring, Jing Zhe, Qingming, Long Summer, Mangzi, Xiaoshu, beginning of autumn, Bailu, Cold Dew, beginning of winter, Heavy Snow and Slight Cold) and beginning of spring Point (beginning of spring is the first of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar, which means that the sun reaches the 365438 meridian). Twelve months are represented by twelve earthly branches, and the order is: 1- silver moon, 2- Uzuki, 3- Chen Yue, 4- Mitsuki, 5- noon, 6- unexpired, 7- Shen Yue, 8- unitary, 9- month, 10- hai.
