What are the twelve constellations in China?
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 the four directions of east, west, south and north, as well as animal images such as black dragon, 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.
